Awesome Pepperoni Pizza Cheese Ball

January 29, 2014

Nothing goes better with football than pizza (and beer)!  The Food Network's Justin Warner created this clever twist on the classic pepperoni pizza. He layers pepperoni slices over a tasty cheese bowl that's filled with tomato sauce - perfect for dunking in pita points (toast them up for extra texture and crunch)! This awesome appetizer has all the flavors of a scrumptious pizza but in dip form!
