Ingredients
(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)
Flour tortillas form the base of the wraps. Soft, pliable tortillas roll easily and crisp nicely in the oven.
Pizza sauce provides classic tomato flavor and moisture. A thick sauce works best to prevent sogginess.
Mozzarella cheese is essential for that signature pizza-style melt and stretch.
Pepperoni adds savory, slightly spicy flavor, though it can be replaced or omitted easily.
Cooked sausage is optional but adds heartiness and depth to the filling.
Bell peppers bring sweetness and color, balancing the richness of the cheese.
Olives add a salty bite that enhances the overall pizza flavor.
Italian seasoning ties all the flavors together with a familiar herb blend.
Olive oil is brushed on the wraps to help them brown evenly and develop a crisp exterior.
Directions
Begin by preheating your oven to 200°C (400°F) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent leaking during baking.
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, followed by pepperoni, sausage, bell peppers, and olives. Finish with a light sprinkle of Italian seasoning.
Carefully roll each tortilla into a tight wrap, folding in the sides slightly to keep the filling enclosed. Place the wraps seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly brush the tops with olive oil. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, turning once if needed, until the wraps are golden brown and the cheese is melted. Allow them to cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Leftover baked pizza wraps can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in the oven or air fryer until warmed through and crisp again. Microwaving works but may soften the wraps slightly.
Variations and Customizations
Quick Baked Pizza Wraps are incredibly versatile and easy to adapt. You can create a vegetarian version by loading them with mushrooms, spinach, onions, and extra cheese. For a meat lover’s option, add cooked bacon or ham alongside the pepperoni.
For a spicy twist, use spicy sausage or add crushed red pepper flakes to the filling. You can also swap pizza sauce for pesto or white sauce for a different flavor profile.
When I tested a version using whole wheat tortillas, the wraps were slightly heartier but still crisped beautifully in the oven. These small changes allow you to tailor the recipe to your taste while keeping the preparation simple.
