Pizza Sandwiches

Friday night is pizza night at our house.  Recently I bought these two buckets from the dollar tree to store pizza fixings in them.  I buy pepperoni and shredded cheese in bulk, so I divide them into smaller zip lock bags and put them in these buckets along with frozen pizza dough and containers of pizza sauce (homemade).  This way I will have the basic ingredients necessary to make pizza quickly.  This recipe really caught my eye.  Thought it would make a great addition to our pizza nights.

I think texas toast would work great for this recipe.  I can get texas toast and french bread for 99 cents at our 99cent only store.
