Excellent! I used mozzarella only (all we had) and also left out the chopped tomato and it was still super good. It oozed a little out of one spot of the loaf, but did not affect the flavor! Sliced up nicely, with all the filling staying neatly "glued" to the bread with the cheese. We used spicy sausage. Will make this treat again!

Made this for Super Bowl. Yum!!! I used mozzarella cheese and parm cheese only. Next time I'll add provolone. I also used store pizza dough. I used a mixture of hot and sweet sausage.

Very easy, very tasty and very possible to use things you may have in the fridge. Mine was huge and baked beautifully, just a little watery at the seams. A keeper for the future and something kids would love.

This was absolutely delicious. We loved it! I didn't have any fresh tomatoes or pizza sauce, so I used 1/2 lg can of crushed tomatoes and 6 oz tomato paste instead.
