How to make a Grilled Cheese Pizza
***For complete recipe instructions, see the recipe card below.
First, make the garlic butter.
Then, preheat a 10-inch skillet on the stovetop over medium-low heat.
Next, prep the sandwiches by brushing one side with garlic butter. Then, flip the pieces of bread over top with pizza sauce and evenly spread it over the bread. Add pepperoni and mozzarella cheese to each.
Place another piece of bread on top of each sandwich.
Cook the sandwiches, garlic butter side down, for 2-3 minutes.
Finally, transfer the grilled cheese to a plate, cut it in half, and serve.
Pizza Melt Recipe Variations
Try switching out pepperoni for other tasty toppings such as sausage or Canadian bacon.
Instead of white bread, you can use Italian bread or focaccia bread.
How to store a Pizza Sandwich
Serve: These can stay at room temperature for up to 2 hours, but they’ll be cold. You’ll want to eat them immediately after coming off the stovetop.
Store: Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for about 24 hours. They won’t be as crisp (might be a little soggy)—re-crisp by placing them in a pan over low heat for 4-6 minutes.
Freeze: If you’re going to freeze these, we recommend freezing them before they are cooked. Place them on a baking sheet and freeze until frozen solid, about 2 hours. Then, transfer the sandwiches to a freezer-safe bag. You can keep them in the freezer like this for 2-3 months.
What to serve with a Pizza Sandwich
Grab a bag of salad and some carrot sticks, and you’ve got yourself a meal. Some French fries would also be yummy alongside this dish.
