Turkey and Pepperoni Wedgie

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Ever heard of a wedgie? No? No worries, let me introduce you to a fun and unique sandwich!

This is a sandwich I grew up eating. It was popular in the tri-state area of West Virginia, Western Maryland and Pennsylvania and served at the pizzeria Fox’s Pizza Den. A wedgie is basically a pizza crust cut in half and filled with your favorite deli meat and toppings.

I like a classic wedgie turkey, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and of course a side of ranch for dipping! Next time I make a wedgie, I think I’ll add some back olives and sun-dried tomatoes!

TURKEY PEPPERONI WEDGIE SANDWICH

The fillings can be anything you like, new-age wedgies are filled with meatballs, pulled pork and buffalo chicken! So the sky is the limit, fill it what anything you are craving!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pizza crust – I used a Boboli premade thin-crust
  • 8 pepperoni
  • 6 slices of turkey
  • 3 slices of cheese – I used American but use your favorite
  • a little mayo and/or mustard if you like
  • toppings of your choice, i.e. lettuce, tomatoes, black olives, etc

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F

  1. Bake crust for about 5-8 minutes to get it warmed through and slightly crispy.
  2. Remove crust from oven.
  3. Cut the crust in half. On one half of the crust build your sandwich. I start with the mayo, then turkey, pepperoni and finish with cheese.
  4. Place both sides of the crust back in the oven and bake about 8 minutes. Remove the half of the crust w/o any toppings. Then turn the oven to broil and cook until cheese is starting to brown and get all bubbly. 
  5. Remove from oven and top with the other half of the pizza crust and serve while hot!
