How to Make a Pepperoni Pizza Ceasar Wrap
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper. Do not skip the parchment paper here — cheese sticks badly to regular pans.
Spread the shredded mozzarella into a thin rectangle or large circle directly on the parchment paper. Try to keep it even so it cooks consistently. Place the pepperoni slices evenly across the top and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
Bake for 10–14 minutes or until then let it cool for about 5 minutes so its easier to wrap. Let the cheese cool for about 3–5 minutes before touching it. If you try to roll it immediately, it may fall apart. If you wait too long, it becomes too stiff.
While the cheese cools, toss together: Romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, Black pepper
Place the Caesar salad mixture onto one side of the cheesy crust and gently roll it into a wrap.
Slice in half and serve immediately while the cheese is still crispy.
Pro Tips for Pepperoni Pizza Ceasar Wrap
- Pre-shredded cheese works, but freshly shredded mozzarella melts more smoothly and crisps better because it doesn’t contain as many anti-caking agents.
- If the layer is too thick, it stays greasy and floppy instead of crispy.The difference between golden crispy cheese and burnt cheese happens fast.
- For restaurant-style crispy edges, broil for the last 1–2 minutes.
- This recipe tastes best right after making it while the contrast between warm cheese and cold salad is still perfect.
Serving Suggestions
This cheesy Caesar wrap pairs well with:
- Air Fryer Steak Fries
- Pickle spears
- Roasted vegetables
- Protein chips
- Marinara sauce for dipping - Basic Marinara Sauce Recipe

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper. Do not skip the parchment paper here — cheese sticks badly to regular pans.
Spread the shredded mozzarella into a thin rectangle or large circle directly on the parchment paper. Try to keep it even so it cooks consistently.

As the wrap bakes, the pepperoni crisps up and flavors the cheese underneath.
Bake for 10–14 minutes or until then let it cool for about 5 minutes so its easier to wrap.
Let the cheese cool for about 3–5 minutes before touching it. If you try to roll it immediately, it may fall apart. If you wait too long, it becomes too stiff.
You want it warm and flexible.
While the cheese cools, toss together: Romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, Black pepper
Place the Caesar salad mixture onto one side of the cheesy crust and gently roll it into a wrap.
