How to Make Copycat Totino’s Pizza Rolls
Gather all of your ingredients before starting. To make the pizza roll filling, combine the mozzarella cheese, pizza seasoning, pizza sauce, minced onion, garlic, and pepperoni pieces in a medium-sized bowl.
Mix the ingredients well until they’re completely combined. Place a wonton wrapper on a solid surface, add a teaspoon of filling to the middle.
Dip your finger in the small bowl of water and run it along the edges of the wonton wrapper to wet it very lightly. Then fold each of the sides over, sealing each pizza bite. As you seal them, be sure to press the wrapper tightly against the filling, you want to avoid large air bubbles.
The pizza rolls should look like little squares, fully sealed, like this:
Repeat the process until all of the pizza roll filling mixture is gone. The kids really enjoy helping with making these. Don’t be afraid to try different fillings, we’ve added some ideas at the bottom of the post!
Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet or Frydaddy, fry the pizza roll bites until they are golden brown on both sides, flipping only once. Do not leave them in for too long or they make burst and all the filling will run out. These can also be cooked in an Air Fryer, simply mist them lightly with olive oil prior.
The freeze fairly well and can easily be reheated in a counter-top toaster oven or microwave. This recipe makes about 48 depending on how fat you stuff them.

gluten free on a shoe string has a won ton recipe. i wonder if it could be don gluten free using those?
great recipe i can’t wait to try it! would you please let me know what size pizza sauce jar you use? we have a couple of different sizes on the shelves in the store, and sometimes i make my own sauce.
these sound so good i can’t wait to try them.
awesome! i’ve made similar using homemade dough but this sounds so easy i may have to make some right away. i have wonton wrappers on hand because i use then to make smoked turkey/butternut squash raviolis that are to die for.
(smoked turkey frozen leftover from thanksgiving, roasted butternut squash and cream cheese, a little salt to taste – fill wonton wrappers and cut with my pampered chef (can i say the brand name – i’m not a dealer, just really like this cutter) cut-n-seal for round shape, boil then saute in butter and sage- to die for). i’ll use my own sauce for this as it is the cheapest (and yummiest, to me) way to go.
awesome, i can’t wait to try these! i usually make these with homemade dough which is time-consuming. i have wonton wrappers on hand because i use them to make smoked turkey/butternut squash ravioli: leftover smoked turkey from thanksgiving, roasted butternut squash, cream cheese and a little salt to taste.
put some on wrapper, moisten and place 2nd wrapper on top and cut-n-seal with my pampered chef cut-n-seal (can I say the brand name? Not a dealer, just like this cutter). Boil then saute in butter and sage – to die for.
Anyway, I would use my own sauce for this as it is probably the cheapest way to go (this is a budget site after all) and I think the yummiest. My son will be so happy I found this recipe! BTW – wonton wrappers are often cheaper at an asian store than the regular grocery store, if you can even find them there.
