That's actually a tradition from Japanese sushi restaurants going back about 60 years. The leaves are to keep the different varieties of fish from impacting the flavors of the neighboring slices.

My daughter's coffee shop sells pizza rolls. They use the same bread they use for cinnamon rolls, but instead of the sweet filling they spread it with marinara and sprinkle on shopped pepperoni, dried herbs, and shredded cheese. Then they roll it up, slice it, let them rise, then bake.
