Puff Pastry Pizza Pinwheels are easy, delicious, and perfect for a movie night snack or party appetizer!
Move over Pizza Friday, there’s a new kid in town.
Light and crispy, and full of sauce, pepperoni and cheese. Puff Pastry Pizza Pinwheels are our new go-to for movie night snacks and there is enough to share!
The first time I made these was a few months ago when hubby went hunting and Nat and I stayed home and had a “girl’s night” with these pinwheels and a movie. We sent a few with daddy for the drive, and we sat down and munched on the rest while we watched Trolls. Nat loved them, and we’ve made them twice in the past month to share at our community movie night. Big crowd-pleaser, and SO easy to make!
Two puff pastry sheets will get you about 24 pinwheels, and you only need four ingredients!

How to make Puff Pastry Pizza Pinwheels
Full printable recipe below!
Step 1
Remove puff pastry from box, but leave in package. Allow to thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray, and set aside.
Step 3
Carefully remove thawed puff pastry sheets from wrapper, 1 sheet at a time and place on a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to smooth the creases and slightly elongate the rectangle.
Step 4
Place 1/4 cup of the pizza sauce on the top of the sheet and spread over the top, covering all but about 1/2-inch on each of the long sides.
Step 5
Line pepperoni slices across the top of the sauce, covering everywhere the sauce is. I used ~48 slices per sheet.
Step 6
Sprinkle 1 cup of the cheese evenly across the top of each pastry sheet.
Step 7
Starting with long side, roll the pastry sheet up tightly, pressing the dough at the end to help seal it.
Step 8
Use a sharp knife to cut into 1-inch slices and lay on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 9
Repeat process with the second pastry sheet.
Step 10
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until pastry is golden and cheese begins to brown.
Step 11
Allow to cool slightly before removing from the baking sheet. Serve with extra sauce, if desired!
