~ BEST WEDGIE SANDWICH ~

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 Take the two pizza crusts, and cut each in half, on the cheese side of the crust, I spray with cooking spray, to keep from sticking. Update: I started making my own pizza dough for these. I oil and sprinkle pan with corn meal. Spread dough as if making a pizza and bake for 10 - 15 min at 400 degree F.
• 2. Arrange meats on the one half, and a hand full of the cheese, spread the cheese over the meat. Put the other half of the crust on just like a sandwich. Bake on a pizza pan for roughly 10-15 min, carefully flip to the other side, and cook an additional 10-15 min till crispy, and cheese is and meat is heated through.
• 3. Remove from oven, take the crust off on the cheese side, add the lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo. Cut in half and enjoy. These can be a bit sloppy to eat, you made need a bib..but oh so good!!In my opinion Boboli's crusts are the best for these, they get nice and crispy, yet stay chewy..any thin crust will do, have had to use another, when I couldn't find the Boboli's... The possibilities for this sandwich are endless.. I have made these on the grill also(wrapping in foil)
• 4. Note: recently made with my homemade pizza crust and were fantastic. Crunchy goodness!
