Pizza Logs
Description
Each pizza log starts by laying out a large egg roll wrapper, then layering pepperoni slices and a stick of low-moisture mozzarella cheese. The edges are brushed with beaten egg to seal and wrapped tightly in an envelope-like shape, forming a compact roll. These rolls can be frozen on parchment or in containers, preventing sticking and allowing long-term storage up to six months.
When ready to serve, the frozen or fresh pizza logs are fried in peanut oil heated to 325°F in batches without overcrowding. Frying for 1–2 minutes per side achieves a lightly browned, crisp exterior that holds melted cheese and pepperoni inside. They are typically served warm alongside marinara sauce for dipping, mimicking pizza flavors in a portable form.
Pizza Logs are best eaten freshly fried for optimal texture but can be reheated in the oven briefly or refried gently to warm leftovers. Care must be taken not to overheat and risk cheese escaping. This preparation offers a make-ahead option for convenient, shareable snacks with familiar pizza ingredients.
Ingredients
- 12 egg roll wrappers large
- 1 egg , lightly beaten
- 12 mozzarella cheese low moisture, string cheese sticks
- 60 pepperoni slices
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 2 quarts peanut oil
Instructions
- Place all of your ingredients around a work space, like a cutting board or plate.
- Baste the edges of a large egg roll wrapper with the egg. Overlap 5 pepperoni slices in the center and top with a cheese stick.
- Fold over one edge, then the sides to look like an open envelope. Roll into an egg roll.
- Continue with the remaining egg roll wrappers.
- Place onto parchment or wax paper and into a container to freeze. You can also use a baking sheet if you plan to fry them later that day. Avoid the rolls touching because they will stick and you'll have trouble pulling them apart for frying.
- Freeze for a minimum of 1 hour, but up to 6 months in a freezer bag.
- When you are ready to fry, heat the oil in a large, high-sided Dutch oven, pot for deep fryer. Using a thermometer, make sure the oil is 325°F.
- Place 3-4 of the egg rolls (depends on size of your cooking vessel) into the hot oil, making sure to not crowd the pan. Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned, but before the cheese melts and starts to escape.
- Remove to a paper towel lined plate or baking sheet.
- Repeat with remaining pizza logs. Serve immediately with marinara sauce.

Notes
- Assemble pizza logs and freeze before frying to have ready-made snacks available for months.
- When frying, avoid crowding the pan to maintain oil temperature and ensure even crisping.
- Reheat fried pizza logs in a 350°F oven for about 5 minutes to maintain texture without excessive melting of cheese outside the wrapper.
- Refrying pizza logs briefly can reheat them without further cooking, preserving the crispy exterior and melted cheese inside.
