These Low Calorie Pizza Rolls are just 55 calories each, and 440 calories for the entire batch! And they are big, hockey puck sized!
I like to make healthy pizza rolls for appetizers, snacks, and I even make them for dinner and my daughter and I split a batch.
I supplied you with a low calorie marinara sauce to dip these in, and some tips on modifying the recipe for your own needs too.

You’ll want self rising flour to make this dough. All-purpose won’t rise and won’t work in this recipe. But as a bonus, you won’t have to wait for the dough to rise.
And you can swap out the pepperoni for another meat, 1/8 cup chopped pizza veggies (bell peppers, red onions, mushrooms, olives, etc). Or just take it out and save an additional 4 calories per roll.
Shopping List for Healthy Pizza Rolls:

How to Make Healthy Pizza Rolls
I love how the cheese melts out on the bottom and crisps up. It won’t stick thanks to the parchment paper, which means you won’t need to add oil to the baking sheet or the recipe!
This saves calories and money. But what I love the most is that the parchment paper makes this recipe easier to clean up.
How to Make Healthy Pizza Rolls:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, add the flour, yogurt, garlic salt and Italian seasonings and mix until combined.
- Form into a ball of dough.
- Lay a piece of parchment paper out on the countertop.
- Place the dough in the center of the parchment paper. Top the dough with a little flour and a second piece of parchment paper.
- Use a rolling pin to roll it out to a large rectangle, 1/4 inch thick.
- Remove the top layer of parchment paper and use a pizza cutter or knife to slice 8 pieces of dough into thick strips.
- Sprinkle the cheese over the dough strips, then the pepperoni, leaving room on the top and bottom.
- Working from the bottom, roll up each pizza roll and place it cut side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Transfer the pizza rolls to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the crust is cooked through and golden, and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle the tops with parmesan and red pepper flaked (if using) and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then serve with marinara sauce and enjoy!
