The Ultimate Wedgie Sandwich – A Crispy, Meaty, Cheesy Delight
The wedgie sandwich is the perfect combo of a sandwich and a pizza—crispy crust folded around juicy deli meats, gooey cheese, and fresh veggies. It’s warm, satisfying, and great for lunch, dinner, or game nights. Think of it like a calzone that decided to turn into a hoagie!
Ingredients
For the Crust
1 pre-baked pizza crust or flatbread (12-inch round)
Olive oil for brushing
1 tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp garlic powder
For the Filling
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp yellow mustard (optional)
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 medium tomato, sliced
6 slices cooked bacon
6 slices turkey or ham
4 slices salami or pepperoni
4 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Banana peppers or pickles (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Crust: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush one side of the pizza crust lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Place in oven for 5–6 minutes just to warm and lightly crisp. Don’t overbake—you want it pliable.
- Spread the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix mayo and mustard. Spread this on the inside (non-seasoned) half of the crust.
- Layer the Good Stuff: Add shredded lettuce, tomato slices, deli meats, bacon, cheese, and any extras like banana peppers or pickles.
- Fold It Up: Fold the crust in half over the filling like a taco or calzone. Slice in wedges and serve warm.
Optional Add-Ons
- Red onion rings for crunch
- Avocado slices for creaminess
- Hot sauce or ranch drizzle for extra flavor
- Swap in rotisserie chicken for a quick version

FAQs
Q: Can I use pita or naan instead of pizza crust?
Yes! Pita, naan, or even large tortillas work great—just warm them slightly before folding.
Q: How do I keep it from getting soggy?
Use a thin layer of sauce and pat dry ingredients like tomatoes. Toasting the crust also helps.
Q: Can I make it vegetarian?
Definitely. Use grilled veggies, cheese, and hummus or pesto as a base.
