     Great pizza substitute when I am craving sauce and cheese. I used my George Foreman grill and sprayed the bread slices with olive oil spray before grilling. Added a sprinkle of italian seansoning to the cheese before sandwiching together. Yum :) - 1/29/09

     I used to make this for my teenage son, he was trying to lose weight, but I would use half of a whole wheat pita, stuff it with part skim shredded mozzarella, turkey pepperoni and the lowest cal pizza sauce that I could find. Then I would melt it under the broiler til the cheese melted. - 6/26/09

     Isprayed the outside of the bread with "I can't believe it's not butter" spray, that way it got nice and toasty. I also used Franz Whole Grain white bread. Yummy! nice recipe, thanks! - 9/12/08

     This is great. I add Yves Veggie Pepperoni and a little crushed red pepper for extra kick. Great recipe! - 9/10/08

     This recipe was absolutely delish! Thanks for sharing. By the way, I did pair it with a salad for lunch one day. I don't know why, but it made the sandwich taste even better! Congrats on a fantabulous recipe. (: - 6/10/08

     You can make this or any "grilled"cheese without any oil by just putting it open faced in a toaster oven until cheese melts. Shaves off a few calories. - 3/4/09

     Super tasty and easy, thats my kind of recipe. I added a little oregano to give it more of a pizza taste. - 6/12/08

     I loved this recipe. I make it with Arnold's Sandwich Thins, a little light butter (for grilling) and 3 thin slices of pepperoni. It adds a few calories, but it satisfies my pozza urge- so it's worth it. - 4/22/09

     I use english muffin as my bread. It makes it AWESOME! and soo yummy. just put on some tomato sauce and chesse and you are good to go! - 4/14/09

     Was okay, certainly kid friendly. Would recommend sourdough or Italian bread, use george forman grill or panini maker for best results. I'd call these Pizza Paninis. I brushed the outside of the bread lightly with olive oil and added turkey pepperoni in my kids' sandwiches. - 1/29/09

     I loved the idea but can't let myself have that much sodium in one sandwich. I subbed a little pesto and sliced tomato for the marinara and used a nonstick griddle. - 7/2/09
  • FIREPHOENIX
     Yum! I will make it again, with some chicken, garlic, oregano, and mushrooms. - 4/14/09

     I like making these with whole wheat pita bread, cause they are round like pizza:) I've had plain cheese and also have added lean ham or turkey pepperoni at times. Endless possibilities! Thanks for sharing. - 4/14/09
  • JUSTKLH
     I added a little Italian herb seasoning blend, but pretty good for a quick meal and a pizza fix - 9/10/08
  • MRS.CANTU
     i like to do that too, but instead of bread I like to use whole wheat buns ;) My kids love them,because they get to help make their own and they think that they have a personal pan pizza :) - 1/29/09

     I made this for dinner tonight, it was very good! I used an 80 calorie slice of Mozzerella cheese in mine, and left out the Parmesan. I added some Boca crumbles to mine too. I sprayed the outside of the bread with olive oil spray and made this on my George Foreman grill. - 7/25/09

     I added pineapple for a sweet kick and a fruit serving. It was so fast and a better choice instead of fast food on the nights we're in a rush! My sons very first food was grilled cheese so a variation was good for him he loved it!! - 7/4/09

     YUMMY! Had this for lunch today with my kids and they thought it was the best thing since ice cream! This is a definite keeper! - 9/10/08

     I made this as a quick dinner last night. The kids loved it as is. I added peppers and onions to it for hubby and I -- it was good. - 9/23/08
  • PPETTINGILL
     This was so simple yet so good. My kids already asked me when we could have it again. - 9/10/08
  • SWEETUMMS
     We've made this same thing in a sandwich maker. Sometimes we make it with whole wheat tortilla. It's great! We also like to sprinkle garlic powder and crushed red pepper. Yumm! The sandwich maker makes it into a little toasty pocket. - 7/12/09
  • LOVELYINKEDLADY
     This was so good! and very quick to fix. I did add chicken and garlic! Very tastey! - 5/21/08
  • MAYBESEXY
     I really enjoyed this, I added a few banana peppers to mine for a little kick! I also used 1/4 c. Barsilla sauce and cut out a few more extra calories. YUMMY!!! - 5/4/09
