Meet Pete (Za Roll)

Snacking is serious business. We needed someone in our kitchens popping snacks, burning their tongue, and taste-testing all our flavors to guarantee they’re Totino’s™ Pizza Roll worthy. Who better than a mascot that loves all things pizza? Well, a mascot made of pizza, actually.

Pete Zaroll’s the guy that bought cargo shorts for the only purpose of transporting pizza rolls™ in his pockets, the guy who’s never sat in front of a screen without a tray of pizza rolls™ to keep him company. Oh, and he’s also the guy that refuses to believe the food pyramid is more than just a slice of pizza. Tireless snacking on behalf of the masses doesn’t come easy, but someone’s gotta do it.

Totino's & the Pizza Rolls™ History

Feeding hungry people is no joke - the hanger is real, and we know that fact because we've been doing the job since 1951. Beginning as a small-town pizzeria in Minneapolis MN, hot toppings and crispy crust were our recipe foundations, but then we went and revolutionized the frozen snack game with our pizza rolls™. You can call us the 0.G. However, with great pizza rolls™ comes great responsibility, and ever since the 50s we've been experimenting with ways to make our pizza rolls™ better tasting, faster to cook, and utterly snackable.
