My kids agree, pizza rolls in the air fryer are great! Ok, so I eat them too when I want just a little something to snack on. Those little boxes are often times on sale for cheap and everyone loves them, that is a win win. It’s one of many easy air fryer recipes on our site. (affiliate links present)
Air Fryer Frozen Pizza Rolls
I am sure you’ve seen these babies in the store. There are a few different types, they’re inexpensive, and my teens make them by themselves. Well, that was after we tested them out to find the exact temperature and cook time we needed to get them perfectly done.
Nowadays some of the packages have the timing on the back, others are getting closer. Once you get the hang of using your machine on a regular basis you can kinda’ just feel it out. Newbies we will help you out until you get there. We started making a frozen pizza in the air fryer but honestly these turned out even better.

Then we started with making homemade air fryer pizza using a packed dough you just added water to. You could make that from scratch too It was really fun! With either homemade dough, or bought in a package where you just add water, it turns out great.
It was time to figure out straight out of the freezer meals my kids could cook when we were gone. Of course fresh is best, but sometimes quick meals come to the rescue.
You literally need nothing other than the pieces in the box. Just dump them in and in just 5 minutes they’re crispy on the outside but gooey cheesy inside.
I always do, unless I forget. It is a good way to ensure your food cooks at the same temperature the entire time it’s in there.

Totinos pizza rolls are the type we got, I am sure are others out there depending on where you live.
What is a pizza roll?
Basically it is a bit of dough with pizza ingredients stuffed inside. You can bake, microwave or now air fry them. Instead of it being flat and round like a Digiorno is, it’s in a little bite rolled up. Should you thaw these babies before baking? No, they’re meant to go from frozen to cooked.
How do you make pizza rolls?
We did not make these, they were bought made and frozen. I have made pizza egg rolls though and those were amazing. I wouldn’t recommend egg roll wrappers though because they don’t cook as well as deep frying.
Why are pizza rolls so good?
I mean, anything with “pie” ingredients in or on them are favorites amongst most. Do I really need to explain it to you? ๐

- Preheat air fryer oven to 400 degrees F for 5 minutes. Once it’s hot, dump frozen pizza rolls into air fryer basket.
- Lay in a single layer not overlapping.I did not find I needed non stick cooking spray for these.
- Close drawer and cook for total of 5 minutes, shake basket after 2 minutes. They will be lightly golden brown now.
- Enjoy immediately for best results but CAREFUL because they are HOT on the inside.
I put that last reminder out there because WOWsie when we both bit into the first ones they splattered out and were so hot. So just be careful.

Time and temp. should be the same for any of the models out there. Of course there may be a very slight difference in the way air fryers cook so check your cooked frozen pizza rolls after 5 minutes and decide yourself. After you make these air fried pizza rolls you may like:
- Pizza air fryer hot pockets are fantastic.
- Air fryer corndogs and frozen french fries in air fryer are a great duo.

We even share here how to reheat pizza in air fryer because it is so much better than any other method out there. If you choose to try and make homemade pizza rolls like these feel free. I’d spray the basket and outside of each piece with olive oil. It may take a bit longer than this but just test it out and let me know how it worked.
