Pizza Sandwiches

Posted on by Reluctant Retiree

A pizza sandwich is just a shortcut name for a hand-held dinner or snack that brings the flavors of Italy to your table in a new way. Favorite ingredients can start with an herbed tomato sauce, spicy pepperoni, and melty cheese—all folded into our crisp thin crust pizza dough. But the filling options are endless, and the process is easy. You define what sandwich adventure your family will love!

This clever sandwich is the best of several favorite recipes, folded into one easy-to make dish that requires very minimal effort. It has the punchy flavor of pepperoni pizza, the simplicity and portability of a sandwich, in the style of a stuffed calzone. Who could resist something so delicious? It’s bound to be a frequently requested recipe in your house.

Pizza sandwiches are simple enough to count on for a quick weeknight meal on your busiest night—or for young chefs to prepare as an after-school snack. If you like, serve them with additional pizza sauce or Ranch dressing, to dunk them in, for a fun and flavorful twist. It’s just that easy.

How to Make a Pizza Sandwich

In minutes, with just a handful of ingredients, you can make pizza sandwiches for supper, after-school treats, or wrapped up for a picnic. Details are in the recipe, but just follow these easy steps.

Press Out the Dough

Unroll the pizza dough, then press it into a 12×10-inch rectangle. Cut the dough into 4 pieces.

Add the Fillings

Spread each piece of dough with pizza sauce; arrange pepperoni on half of the dough, and sprinkle with cheese and oregano.

Fold Over

Fold the dough up and over the filling. No need to seal. Sprinkle with Parmesan.

Bake Until Golden Brown

A hot oven ensures the dough will crisp up and become golden brown, with gooey cheese!
