⭐ Tips
✔️ If you have the time, pop the tray of pizza pockets into the fridge for 15-20 minutes. Cold puff pastry will bake up flakier!
✔️ It's important that you have a tight seal on the edges of the pastry so the filling doesn't leak out.

🍲 Storage
To Store: Store your baked homemade pizza pockets in the fridge in an airtight container or ziplock bag.
To Reheat: Reheat individual pockets in the microwave for 30-45 seconds.
To Freeze: These pockets can be made ahead of time and frozen. Assemble the pockets, but stop when after you seal them tight. (Don't add the egg wash).
To Thaw: Allow the pockets to thaw in the fridge overnight. Brush with egg wash mixture, sprinkle with cheese, and bake as directed.
✏️ Make Ahead
Homemade hot pockets can be made 1-2 days ahead of time. Leave them right on the baking sheet, cover them with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to bake.
📖 Variations
The first time you try any new recipe we recommend that you make it just as it is written on the recipe card since that is how the recipe has been tested. However, the next time you make our recipe, you might want to try one of these ideas:
- for appetizers, cut the dough into 10 small squares instead of 6 and reduce the amount of cheese and pepperoni in the filling (mini pepperoni works great for this)
- use pesto instead of tomato sauce
- add any of your favorite pizza toppings as part of the filling:
These homemade hot pockets can also be made with Jus-Rol pizza dough if you prefer.
🍴 Serving Suggestions
For dinner, serve homemade pizza hot pockets with marinara sauce for dipping. I like to add a fresh green salad as well. You can also serve these as an appetizer - they're perfect for game day!
