Directions
This “special” is really just two pepperoni pies, which is about as perfect a pizza order as one can imagine. These pies might also be paired with a beer as a “thank you” to your friends for helping you move. As we all know, it is no easy feat getting furniture up a tiny stairwell. They deserve a slice after all that pivoting!

Spoon one ladleful of the sauce in the center of one of the pizza crusts. Use the ladle to spread the sauce evenly on the crust, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle about a third of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then top with half of the pepperoni. Sprinkle a bit more cheese on top. |
