Garlic bread and pizza are both delicious options you can get from any pizzeria, but what happens when you combine both of these dishes to make one? It’s like pizza but with a garlic bread crust – oh and there is delicious cheese in there too!
More cheese goes on top along with tomatoes, and of course you can add any of your preferred pizza toppings. Any kind of cheese works here, such as mozzarella, cheddar, provolone, gruyere, parmesan, or a mixture of all your favorites.
The easiest way to make this garlic bread pizza hybrid is to use frozen garlic toast, since you can just warm it up and add the toppings. Once the garlic bread is crispy and golden brown, you can spread pizza sauce on top followed with cheese and perhaps some additional toppings. The final step is to broil the garlic bread pizzas until the cheese has melted.

Can You Make It Ahead?
If you make these ahead and then reheat them, the garlic bread will come out soggy, so it’s best to make them fresh. Oh, and make more than you assume you’ll need. These have a habit of disappearing fast!
Storage Instructions:
If you do happen to have leftovers, they’ll keep for 2 days in an airtight container in the fridge and can be reheated for 10 minutes in the oven at 375°F or else you can serve the leftovers cold.
Variations and Substitutions:
You can either use fresh or frozen garlic bread, make your own with stale baguette slices, butter and garlic, or use pizza dough. The choice is yours. Add any herbs and topping you want before broiling.
