Yes, you read it correctly. Just what is a pizza waffle? Well, I suppose you could put pizza toppings in a waffle batter mix, cook it and top it with marinara sauce, but what I tried was leftover pizza.
Here's the story. I had actually put leftover pizza slices in a waffle iron before I started this blog, but now I wanted to try this gluten free pie I got from Pie Five.
The crust is quite thin and brown since it uses alternative flour rather than regular wheat flour. I ordered mine with olives and mushrooms and ate a slice on the way home then two more while watching t.v. The next day, I took out the two leftover slices from my fridge and warmed up the waffle iron. Next, I folded the triangle into smaller triangle and cut off the excess crust. Once the iron was heated, I slipped the two pieces on and closed the lid. This kind seemed to cook a bit faster than the Papa Johns regular hand-tossed crust I had before. After about a minute, I peeked in and saw that the cheese that had oozed out was crisping -- an indication that whatever you're cooking is heated through.
I love the pizza waffle because it's like a tiny calzone with flavor holes. With the Papa Johns pizza, I had poured the garlic butter sauce over it and let that drip through the waffle iron impressions. I didn't have any sauce this time, but my leftover gluten free pizza was still delicious.
4 out of 4 stars for this one too.
