Pizza rolls are pretty much God’s gift to us all – but in the oven they take 10-15 minutes!!! In the microwave, they only take 1-2 minutes but they’re soggy! The air fryer though – oh the air fryer – perfect golden brown and crunchy in 4-5 minutes!!!
Can pizza rolls be cooked in the air fryer?
Resounding yes!!!! They truly are the best in the air fryer! They get crispy and – frankly – they explode less! 4-5 minutes at 400 and they’re done. I did half a bag and shook them half way through.

How can I make my pizza rolls even better?
Garlic. Parmesan. Butter.
Let me tell you about this – there was a video on Instagram and I immediately went home and made it. You take pizza rolls and toss them in garlic parmesan butter. Holy moly! Here’s how you do it!
- Get the pizza rolls in the air fryer – 4 min at 400
- Take a 1/3 of a stick of butter and put it in a microwaveable bowl
- Add 1 heaping teaspoon of minced garlic & cover bowl with plastic wrap
- Get out the grater and the Parmesan cheese.
- Shake the pizza rolls and air fry 2 min more
- Nuke the butter & garlic for 30-40 seconds
- Remove the butter from the microwave and stir
- Grab the pizza rolls out the air fryer
- Toss in the garlic butter and grate fresh Parmesan cheese on top
- NOSH YOUR FACE OFF!

As many as you want…don’t share them either. They’re all for you!

Well – I don’t think any vet will be recommending them. That said – I just asked my dog and she said, “No – they’re very very very good for dogs. So good in fact you should replace my Blue Buffalo with Supreme Pizza Rolls.”
Not the ones with meat.
The cheese ones are – but the ones with pepperoni are not vegetarian. #thankscaptainobvious
Whichever ones are coming out of my air fryer in the next 4 minutes.
