I especially love the pepperoni’s crispy edges as they bake in the pie—it reminds me of my favorite pizza slice from family pizzeria visits.
Storage Tips
Allow leftovers to cool completely and store them in an airtight container for up to three days in the refrigerator. Reheat slices in the oven for the best texture to maintain the crust’s flakiness.
Ingredient Substitutions
Try turkey sausage or soy-based crumbles for a lighter or plant-based spin. Swap out pepperoni for mushrooms to reduce the salt levels while keeping texture intact.
Serving Suggestions
Pair this hearty pie with a simple green salad or garlic bread for a balanced yet comforting meal. A side of roasted vegetables also complements the richness beautifully.
