Introduction
These Keto Low Carb Pizza Roll-Ups are a quick, cheesy, satisfying way to enjoy pizza flavors without traditional high-carb dough. Made with low-carb tortillas, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, Italian seasoning, and a rich pizza sauce, these roll-ups come together in minutes and bake until the cheese is melted and the edges are golden.
They are perfect for a quick lunch, easy dinner, game-day appetizer, or family snack. You can also customize them with your favorite low-carb pizza toppings, such as cooked sausage, mushrooms, olives, bell peppers, or jalapeños.
The combination of crispy tortilla edges, gooey melted cheese, savory pepperoni, and Italian seasoning makes every bite taste like a delicious handheld pizza.
Origin Information
Pizza roll-ups are a creative variation of traditional pizza and pizza pinwheel-style snacks. Instead of forming a conventional pizza crust, the toppings are layered onto a tortilla or other flatbread, rolled tightly, sliced or baked whole, and served as individual portions.
This keto-friendly version replaces traditional pizza dough with a low-carb tortilla, helping reduce the carbohydrate content while keeping the familiar flavors of pizza. The recipe is especially useful for people following a low-carbohydrate eating style who still want convenient comfort-food options.
Tips
Choose sturdy low-carb tortillas that are flexible enough to roll without cracking.
Warm the tortillas for a few seconds before assembling. This makes them much easier to roll tightly.
Use shredded mozzarella that melts well. Part-skim mozzarella works, but whole-milk mozzarella generally creates a richer, creamier filling.
Do not spread too much pizza sauce over the tortilla. Excess sauce can make the roll-ups soggy and difficult to seal.
Keep the fillings in a relatively thin layer so the roll-ups hold their shape.
Place the roll-ups seam-side down on the baking sheet to help prevent them from opening while baking.
For crispier roll-ups, lightly brush or spray the outside with olive oil before baking.
Allow them to rest for a few minutes after baking. The melted cheese will firm slightly, making them easier to handle.
Storage Information
Store leftover pizza roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For best texture, reheat them in an air fryer or oven rather than the microwave. Reheat at 350°F until warmed through and the outside becomes crisp again.
They can also be frozen. Place cooled roll-ups in a freezer-safe container or bag with parchment paper between layers. Freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheat frozen roll-ups in a 350°F oven or air fryer until hot in the center.
Ingredient Notes
Low-Carb Tortillas: These provide the roll-up structure while keeping the recipe much lower in carbohydrates than traditional pizza dough. Choose tortillas with a carbohydrate count that fits your individual keto targets.
Pizza Sauce: Use a low-sugar or no-added-sugar pizza sauce. Check the nutrition label because some commercial sauces contain surprisingly high amounts of added sugar.
Mozzarella Cheese: Mozzarella provides the classic stretchy, gooey pizza texture. Freshly shredded cheese melts particularly well.
Pepperoni: Pepperoni adds savory, smoky flavor and fat to the roll-ups. Turkey pepperoni can also be used.
Parmesan Cheese: Parmesan adds extra saltiness and a nutty, savory flavor to the filling.
Italian Seasoning: A blend of oregano, basil, thyme, and other herbs gives the roll-ups their classic pizza aroma.
Garlic Powder: Garlic powder enhances the savory flavor without adding moisture.
Red Pepper Flakes: These are optional but add a pleasant spicy kick.
Olive Oil: A small amount can be brushed over the tortillas before baking to encourage browning and crispness.
Serving Instructions
Serve the pizza roll-ups warm with a small bowl of low-carb pizza sauce or marinara sauce for dipping.
For a complete meal, pair them with a simple green salad, roasted vegetables, cucumber salad, or steamed broccoli.
For parties, slice the roll-ups into bite-sized pieces and arrange them on a serving platter with dipping sauce in the center.
You can also serve them alongside ranch dressing, garlic butter, or a low-carb cheese dip.

Description
Cheesy, crispy, and packed with pepperoni and Italian pizza flavors, these Keto Low Carb Pizza Roll-Ups are an easy low-carb snack, lunch, appetizer, or quick dinner.
Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare The Oven
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Warm The Tortillas
- Warm the low-carb tortillas briefly in the microwave or in a dry skillet. They only need to become flexible, not hot.
Add The Pizza Filling
- Lay one tortilla flat. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over the sauce, followed by chopped pepperoni and Parmesan cheese.
- Finish with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and a small pinch of red pepper flakes if you like some heat.
Roll The Tortillas
- Starting from one side, roll the tortilla tightly into a log.
- Try to keep the filling tucked inside as you roll. Avoid making the tortilla overly full because this can cause the cheese and pepperoni to spill out during baking.
- Place each roll-up seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Add Olive Oil
- Lightly brush or spray the outside of each roll-up with olive oil. This helps the tortillas become golden and crisp.
Bake
- Bake for approximately 10–15 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden around the edges and the cheese inside is completely melted.
- For extra browning, you can place them under the broiler for about 1–2 minutes at the end. Watch them closely because low-carb tortillas can brown quickly.
Rest And Serve
- Remove the roll-ups from the oven and allow them to cool for approximately 3–5 minutes.
- Slice them into smaller pieces if serving as an appetizer, or serve them whole as a quick meal.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
