I just did pepperoni and cheese and used olive oil on the bread.(A tip for using pepperoni is to lay them on paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds to get the excess oil/fat off so it's not so greasy in the pizza!) It was just awesome!!! Very easy way to satisfy a pizza craving. -
Clever idea. A nice switch up and the topping possiblities would be pretty much endless -
This is a great switchup to the normal pizza and/or grill cheese. Very unique. I used pepperoni and bacon for the meat of choice and some shredded cheddar sprinkled over all. Kudo's for a keeper Bill.! Made for Regional Tag~
