Disney World Pepperoni Spring Rolls
Bring some magic to your home with these Disney World Pepperoni Spring Rolls! Crispy exterior stuffed with melty cheese and savory pepperoni!
A 9-MINUTE SNACK
When we went to Disney World last year, we had these delicious Disney World Pepperoni Spring Rolls. OMG! So good. You wouldn’t think eating fried food while walking around Disney World is a good idea but they are small enough to enjoy without feeling like you ate a slice of pizza lol. They have a cheeseburger version and that’s the one that everyone told us was the best but we actually preferred this one but that one was still good. I might work on the cheeseburger one next, so stay tuned!
These are awesome and were a huge hit!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
So in the world of spring rolls there are different types. There’s a rice spring roll wrapper (that I used here) and a wheat-based spring roll wrapper. Some people can find the rice wrappers a bit harder to deal with (since they need to be soaked first and they are thin). If you find that to be the case, I would definitely go with a wheat based spring roll wrapper like you would use for lumpia. It’s a bit easier to roll but isn’t thick like an egg roll wrapper. I would not suggest using an egg roll wrapper for these, you just won’t get the same texture as the Disney World version.
I think the ones at Disney World have slightly more pepperoni than cheese and we thought it could use a bit more cheese so that’s what was done here. However, you can certainly cut back on the cheese and throw in some more pepperoni slices.
You sure can! Now, of course, they won’t turn out as crunchy so I need to put that out there but it can be done.
Preheat an air fryer to 350F degrees. Roll as directed below.
Spray each roll with non-stick cooking spray on both sides.
Lay two rolls at a time in the air fryer without touching each other. You will need to cook these in a few batches.
Cook for 5-7 minutes, then flip and cook for 5-7 more minutes. These are merely estimates and some air fryers have a tendency to cook faster than others so just pay attention to how they are looking and crisping up to know when they are done.
Remove and serve!
Keeping frying oil at the right temperature is tricky. It is best to use the time for cooking listed as a guide but ultimately use your own judgement and cook until the wrappers are medium/dark golden brown, then remove from the oil or fryer. Having an electric fryer is very helpful in keeping oil temperature consistent.
These rolls are best right when you first make them, however, you can store leftovers in an airtight container and can keep them in the fridge for up to 2 days. They’ll lose their crispness overtime.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)
- pepperoni– you can use regular pepperoni or turkey pepperoni, whatever your preference.
- shredded mozzarella cheese and provolone cheese – I used a combination of cheeses (see ingredient photo below) but you can use just mozzarella.
- spring roll wrappers– I shared more info about the different kinds of spring roll wrappers available and my thoughts on which ones are best for these rolls, above in the FAQ (Frequently Asked Question) section.
- oil – for frying. Use a frying oil of your choice. Peanut or vegetable oil work well but use your favorite.
- marinara or pizza sauce – I have a homemade pizza sauce recipe if you prefer to make it from scratch.
HOW TO MAKE DISNEY WORLD PEPPERONI SPRING ROLLS
Grab a circular cake pan or large shallow bowl and add 1 inch of lukewarm water to the bottom. Dip one whole wrapper in the water and lay it on your preparation surface. Add two Tablespoons of shredded cheese to the center of the wrapper, leaving two inches of room on both ends. Lay 10 pepperoni pieces on top of the cheese in a two-by-two fashion. Lay the remaining 5 pieces on top of the 10.
Add 1/8th cup of shredded cheese on top of the pepperonis. Take one end of the wrapper and fold it down over one end of the roll. Then take one side and fold it over to the other side tightly encasing the filling. You want to have the pepperonis to roll/fold over each other sandwiching the extra cheese in the middle.
Take the second short end of the wrapper and fold it down over the first folded side. Repeat with the other side.
Take the last side and finish the wrap. Repeat this process with the remaining ingredients. You will have a lot of wrappers left over (they can be frozen for later use.)
Add 2 inches of vegetable oil (or frying oil of your choice) to a heavy duty frying pan. Heat the oil to 375F degrees over medium heat. Use a thermometer to ensure you reach the appropriate temperature and it doesn’t get too hot. Use a set of tongs to place two rolls at a time in the hot oil. Cook for two minutes, then flip and cook the other side for an additional two minutes.
Remove to a plate covered with a paper towel to absorb the extra oil. Repeat the process with the remaining rolls. Serve warm with marinara sauce and a dusting of grated parmesan cheese if desired.
