The combination of a pepperoni pizza and a caesar salad in sandwich form!
I first came across this idea on Tiktok and its source seems to be Vildas restaurant in Toronto. I am a big fan of pepperoni pizza, caesar salad and sandwiches so the combination of the three of them sounded fabulous! The recipe is as easy as taking a load of bread, spreading pizza sauce over the inside, followed by mozzarella and pepperoni before baking it until the cheese has melted. A simple caesar salad is made and piled on top of the pepperoni pizza bread before turning it into a sandwich. The combination of the warm pizza sauce, melted cheese and pepperoni with the cool, crunchy and creamy caesar salad is amazing!
