Caesaroni Pizza Sandwich!! A delicious twist on a pepperoni pizza sandwich with caesar salad piled in. This sandwich was seriously so delicious! Hope you try it!
If you’ve been following me on social media, you may know that I try to keep bread and pasta at a minimum. I don’t even really eat pasta anymore; with the exception of rice noodles. I also try to eat gluten free bread. It’s helped me feel better and surprisingly it’s not that hard anymore. Now, don’t get me wrong. From time to time, I will allow myself a treat.
Friends, after seeing this video on TikTok, I knew I had to try this sandwich. I knew it would be good but dang, this sandwich is freaking delicious. You can’t go wrong with pepperoni, cheese and bread after all. I also love that you are adding a caesar salad into the sandwich.
Caesaroni Pizza Sandwich
I make my own homemade caesar dressing, which- in my opinion, is the only way to make this sandwich. You also must add my pickled red onions. Sooooooo good! I honestly thought of trying pizza dough but then that would take away from the sandwich and would have been too much bread and dough.
This sandwich will probably be equally (or better than) as good as your favorite Italian hoagie or sandwich. I love the hot and the cold-ish salad. This sandwich also has tons of flavor and texture.
Caesaroni Pizza Sandwich
Ingredients
- Ciabatta or Focaccia bread loaf sliced in half
- 1/2 to 1 cup pizza or marinara sauce
- olive oil extra virgin
- Maldon sea salt flakes
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 to 1 cup pepperoni
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese finely grated; split + more if needed
- Romaine lettuce chopped
- caesar dressing see recipe link below
- pickled red onions see recipe link below
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Place sliced bread on a lined baking sheet. Spread the pizza sauce on one piece of bread, and drizzle olive oil on the other side of bread; season with some flaky sea salt. Alternatively, feel free to spread pizza sauce on both sides of the bread if you want to!
- Add the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza sauce and add the pepperonis. Top with some finely grated Parmesan cheese and bake in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is nice and melty and the bread has browned and toasted a bit.
- While the sandwich is in the oven, using a bowl: mix together the chopped romaine lettuce with some caesar dressing and add some finely grated Parmesan cheese.
- When the sandwich is ready, remove from oven and add the caesar salad mixture. Top with some pickled red onions. Close sandwich with the other side of bread. Slice and enjoy!
Delicious and so easy! I used ciabatta rolls which made it easier for individual servings.
Brilliant and hooray!!!!
