They are so comforting and easy to customize in so many different ways.
What’s in pizza sandwiches?
For this pizza sandwich recipe, you’ll only need a few simple ingredients:
- Bread
- Butter
- Pepperoni
- Mozzarella cheese
- Marinara sauce
- Cooking oil spray (or vegetable oil)
How to make pizza sandwiches
These pizza sandwiches couldn’t be any easier to make! Just butter one side of each bread and place half of the bread slices in a greased frying pan in one layer. On each bread, add mozzarella cheese slices, then top with pepperoni, and spread the marinara sauce. Place another bread on top, flip and cook until cheesy and brown.
Tips for making the best pizza sandwich recipe
- For a healthier option, you can use whole wheat bread and cut down the cheese.
- Other topping ideas include ham, fresh tomatoes, cooked bacon, sausages, mushroom or onions, etc. Mozzarella is my favorite cheese for pizza as it melts well. But any flavor of cheese you like will do.
- You can also bake your sandwiches in the oven instead of cooking on the stove. Just place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake for about 6 minutes at 400°F.
- You can add another layer of toppings and finish with one more slice of bread for a double-decker style! Just cook a few minutes longer to make sure the cheese is melted.

- 2 tablespoon butter, softened to room temperature
- 8 slices mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup marinara sauce

Instructions
- Butter one side of each bread slices. (I used about ¼ tablespoon for each bread, but you can use more or less according to personal preference.)
- Place a frying pan over medium heat and grease with cooking oil spray or vegetable oil.
- When hot, place 4 slices of bread onto the pan in one single layer, butter-side down. (If your pan is not big enough for 4 slices, cook in batches.)

- Place the remaining bread slices on top. Cook for about 3-4 minutes.
- Flip the sandwiches and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until cheesy and brown.

Notes
- *Cook your pizza sandwiches longer if your bread is thicker.
- If using griddle, heat your griddle over medium heat. Once hot, toast pizza sandwiches for 3-4 minutes PER SIDE or until cheesy and brown.
