MOZZARELLA STICK CRUST PIZZA

For the first time, in a long time, JP had a crazy idea that was incredibly weird, breaking all of the rules, but also absolutely genius at the same time; Mozzarella Stick Crust Pizza.  With several initial ideas on how to do this, we decided to experiment with a few ways.

Fried mozzarella, shaped like a pizza slice, topped with pizza sauce, more cheese, and pepperonis, is the new most glutenous but most tasty way to eat pizza.  Super easy to make and super satisfying to eat.  We tested this recipe out with string cheese & fresh mozzarella.  Up to you which type of cheese you stuff in your crust!!  Both worked out great!!  No dough required.  Cheese pull expected.
