This five cheese stuffed crust pizza is a cheese lover’s dream!

Around here we are big pizza lovers! We have it at least once a week; whether it’s pizza bites for lunch, or a Pretzel Crust Pizza at dinner, we sure do love our pizzas. We used to go to Little Caesars to get $5 pizzas or Domino’s during the week for their $7 pizzas. But not only was that getting to be a bit expensive but they just didn’t have the same taste as homemade. 

Last year I shared with Tastefully Frugal readers a month-long series; Friday Pie Day. We had everything from taco pizza to our five pound supreme pizza, even a vegetarian pizza; but one pizza that we hadn’t tried yet was a stuffed crust pizza. I always loved stuffed crust pizza when I was growing up and we had dinner with my dad a few weeks ago, he bought a stuffed crust and it reminded me how good they are. So of course I had to try to make my own.

My first attempt was an epic fail. It tasted good but the crust was way too thick. The second time around I cut the string cheese in quarters instead of halves and cut off the excess crust before I cooked it. That did the trick! This pizza is so ooey-gooey good it hardly lasted 10 minutes between myself, my husband and my two boys. We will definitely be adding it to our regular routine.
