Since I had some leftover Texas toast from this recipe, I immediately thought about my favorite grilled cheese sandwich, the double-decker. I opened up my fridge… yanked out some marinara and slices of pepperoni and in 10 easy minutes. This pizza sandwich was born.

Left over Texas toast, your favorite marinara (homemade or jarred, nobody judges), pepperoni and cheese. I thought I bought mozzarella… but after I emptied out everything in my fridge and onto my counter tops, I realized I must not have. I must have dreamt it… but I swear I did! You’ll need some butter too.

Slice your roni’s in half. Nobody likes to bite into a hot sandwich or slice of pizza for that matter and get slapped in the chin with a blazing hot cheesy pepperoni… it hurts. A lot.
