- 1 cup mini pepperoni (or sliced regular pepperoni): Adds a spicy, savory punch that’s classic and satisfying.
- ½ cup diced bell peppers (optional): Adds a sweet crunch plus a pop of vibrant color.
- ½ cup sliced mushrooms (optional): Earthy and tender, these complement the pepperoni perfectly.

How to Make Baked Pizza Wraps Recipe
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Got your oven ready? Set it to 400°F (200°C) to get everything nice and hot. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or just lightly grease it to stop those wraps from sticking while they get that perfect crisp outside.
Step 2: Assemble the Wraps
Lay each beautiful flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about 2 to 3 tablespoons of pizza sauce onto each one, making sure to leave a small border around the edges so nothing leaks out. Then sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Add mini pepperoni or your favorite slices, followed by optional bell peppers and mushrooms for added texture and flavor.
Step 3: Season
Now sprinkle a little dried oregano and garlic powder evenly over each wrap. These simple seasonings really kick the flavor up a notch, bringing in classic pizza vibes in every bite.
Step 4: Roll the Wraps
Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly. Don’t forget to fold in the sides as you go to keep all that tasty filling neatly tucked inside, so you don’t end up with a cheese explosion in the oven!
Step 5: Bake
Brush the tops of each wrap with olive oil, which will help them crisp up gorgeously during baking. Place them seam-side down on your prepared baking sheet and slide them into the oven for about 12 to 15 minutes or until they turn a beautiful golden brown and look irresistibly crunchy.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Give them a minute to cool down so you don’t burn your fingers or tongue. Then slice the wraps into halves or thirds — perfect for sharing (or not!). Serve alongside extra pizza sauce, ranch, or your favorite dip for an extra flavor punch.

Garnishes
Add a sprinkle of fresh chopped basil or a light dusting of grated Parmesan cheese on top to elevate presentation and add a burst of fresh, aromatic notes. A pinch of red pepper flakes also works wonders if you love a bit of heat.
Side Dishes
These wraps pair beautifully with a crisp side salad or some crunchy veggie sticks like celery and carrots for a balanced meal. For a comforting touch, serve with a bowl of warm marinara sauce for dipping to double down on that pizza flavor.
Creative Ways to Present
Turn these wraps into party appetizers by slicing into bite-sized pinwheels and arranging them on a platter. Alternatively, wrap them individually in parchment paper for a grab-and-go snack that’s perfect for road trips or packed lunches.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers

Reheating
Reheat leftovers in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving if you want to maintain that delightful crunch.

Ingredients
Wraps and Sauce
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup pizza sauce
Cheese and Toppings
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup mini pepperoni (or regular pepperoni, sliced)
- ½ cup diced bell peppers (optional)
- ½ cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
Seasonings and Finishing
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick spray to ensure the wraps bake evenly and don’t stick.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow during baking. Next, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then add pepperoni, bell peppers, mushrooms, or your preferred pizza toppings.
- Season: Sprinkle each wrap with a pinch of dried oregano and garlic powder. These spices add a lovely depth of flavor typical of traditional pizza seasoning.
- Roll the Wraps: Roll each tortilla tightly into a wrap, tucking in the sides as you go to keep the filling secure inside. A firm roll helps maintain the shape during baking and keeps the ingredients from spilling out.
- Bake: Brush the tops of the wraps with olive oil to promote browning and crispiness. Place the wraps seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to prevent them from unrolling. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the wraps are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Serve and Enjoy: Allow the pizza wraps to cool for a minute or two after baking. Slice them into halves or thirds for sharing or easy dipping. Serve with extra pizza sauce or ranch dressing to enhance the flavors.
