There’s something magical about the combination of melty cheese, savory toppings, and that unmistakable pizza flavor. These Baked Pizza Wraps capture all that pizza goodness in a fun, handheld package that’s perfect for busy weeknights, game day snacking, or a creative lunch option.
I developed this recipe when I needed something between a full pizza night (too much work) and a basic sandwich (too boring). These wraps hit that sweet spot—they’re crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and packed with all your favorite pizza flavors in every bite.

Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Olive oil for brushing
- ½ cup pepperoni slices
- ½ cup sliced mushrooms
- ½ cup sliced bell peppers
- ¼ cup sliced black olives
- Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- Extra pizza sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean, flat surface. Spread approximately ¼ cup of pizza sauce on each tortilla, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges.
- Sprinkle ½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce on each tortilla.
- Distribute the pepperoni slices, mushrooms, bell peppers, and black olives evenly among the four tortillas.
- Sprinkle the Italian seasoning over the toppings. If you prefer a spicier wrap, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Carefully fold in the sides of each tortilla about an inch, then roll up tightly from the bottom, ensuring the fillings stay secure inside. Place the wraps seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Lightly brush the tops and sides of each wrap with olive oil. This will help them become golden and crispy during baking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the wraps are golden brown and crispy. The cheese inside should be fully melted.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the pizza wraps to cool for 2-3 minutes. This brief resting period helps the fillings set slightly and makes the wraps easier to handle and slice.
- Using a sharp knife, slice each wrap diagonally in half. Serve immediately with additional pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
Tips & Variations
- For a crispier wrap, spray or brush both sides with olive oil before baking.
- Try using different protein options like cooked Italian sausage, shredded chicken, or ham.
- Make it vegetarian by skipping the pepperoni and adding more veggies like spinach, onions, or artichoke hearts.
- For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes or sliced jalapeños.
- Use whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a different flavor profile and added nutrients.
- Make mini versions using small tortillas for appetizers or kids’ lunches.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Baked Pizza Wraps with a side of extra warm pizza sauce for dipping. A simple green salad with Italian dressing makes the perfect accompaniment for a complete meal. For a heartier option, pair with a cup of tomato soup for the ultimate pizza-inspired comfort food experience.
These wraps are also fantastic for lunch boxes—just wrap them in foil to keep them warm until lunchtime. For a party spread, cut each wrap into pinwheels and serve with a variety of dipping sauces.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, warm in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes or until heated through.
- The wraps are done when the outside is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside is completely melted.
- To freeze, wrap individually in foil and freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat from frozen at 375°F for 20-25 minutes.
FAQs
Can I make these in an air fryer?
Yes! Air fry at 375°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.
How do I prevent the wraps from unfolding while baking?
Make sure to place them seam-side down on the baking sheet. You can also secure them with toothpicks (just remember to remove before eating).
Can I use corn tortillas instead of flour?
Corn tortillas tend to crack when folded. Stick with flour tortillas for the best results, or look for the larger, more pliable corn-flour blend tortillas.
Are these suitable for meal prep?
Absolutely! You can prepare these up to the baking stage, refrigerate for up to 24 hours, and bake when ready to serve.
