Easy Pizza Pinwheels Ingredients
This is an easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy kind of recipe, friends. Get the kids in the kitchen and let them help with these fun pinwheel pizzas.
- 8 flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 8 ounces shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 8 ounces cream cheese (room temperature works best)
- 4-5 ounces of mini pepperoni (it’s okay if you eat some…)
- parsley
How to Make Pizza Pinwheels
Note: you can bake them for a few minutes before rolling, just enough to melt the cheese slightly. If you do this, remove the flat pizzas, roll tightly in a clean dish towel, and leave until they cool a bit. Then slice and serve.

Over to You
Are you a fan of pinwheel sandwiches or pinwheel appetizers? I am! They are so easy and fun to make – these pizza pinwheels are no exception!
This looks great and easy. What size tortillas did you use?
Thanks, Dennis – we make them all the time and they are very easy. We use the soft taco size, so a normal-sized flour tortilla (not the big burrito ones) because they’re for the kiddo (she’s 7), but if you have a party, making them with the larger tortillas will work (they’ll just need a bit more of the ingredients – likely double).
Hope that helps!
