Print Recipe

There’s something magical about combining two all-time favorites—pizza and grilled cheese. This Pepperoni Pizza Grilled Cheese reminds me of cozy weekend lunches at Grandma’s house, where simple ingredients turned into something unforgettable. It’s perfect for a quick meal or a special treat for the grandkids. Give it a try and bring those pizza night vibes into your kitchen—grilled cheese style!

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 slices of bread (white or whole wheat)

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 12 slices of pepperoni

  • 4 tbsp pizza sauce (plus extra for dipping)

  • 2 tbsp butter (softened)

  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning (optional)

Instructions

  • Butter one side of each slice of bread.

  • On the non-buttered side, spread 1 tbsp of pizza sauce.

  • Add shredded mozzarella, pepperoni slices, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning.

  • Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side out.

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook each sandwich 2–3 minutes per side or until golden and cheese is melted.

  • Slice and serve with extra pizza sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Cheese Matters: Use freshly shredded mozzarella for the best melt—it’s creamier and more flavorful than pre-shredded.

  • Get Crispy: Cook low and slow to get that golden, crispy crust without burning the bread.

  • Pepperoni Pop: Try turkey pepperoni or spicy slices for a twist!

  • Add Veggies: Sneak in thin slices of bell pepper or mushrooms for a pizza-style upgrade.

  • Sauce on the Side: Warm up extra pizza sauce for dipping—it’s a game changer.
