I popped them in the oven, and they came out the perfect level of crispy on the outside with yummy pizza filling on the inside. I feel like they’re larger than other pizza rolls/bites, too. They were super tasty with a side of homemade ranch, and I can’t wait to make these for football Sundays! These instantly became a freezer staple for me. Thanks, Brazi Bites!" —Dakota
