pizza roll
Frozen snack pocket
Pizza rolls are small bite-sized snacks consisting of pizza toppings—typically cheese, tomato sauce, and pepperoni—enclosed in a pocket of dough and usually baked or fried.
Most often refers to the frozen commercial variety popularized by Totino's: We microwaved some pizza rolls for a midnight snack.
The filling reaches scalding temperatures while the outside seems merely warm—a notorious source of mouth burns.
