Pizza fries are our new favorite thing!! Crispy waffle fries topped with marinara, melty mozzarella and pepperoni. The parmesan and fresh basil take it over the top. So cheesy, crisp and satisfying! Best game day snack ever.
I’ve got your weekend recipe!
These pizza fries are covered in sauce, cheese, crispy pepperoni and and enough parm to make anyone happy.
They taste like a DREAM.
Okay, so you know things have changed when I’m making a recipe requested BY MY CHILD.
Like what?
I still don’t even feel old enough to have a child, but here we are.
For months, Max has been talking about pizza fries. I don’t know where exactly he heard about them, and I know he hasn’t tried them yet. But one of his friends has talked about them in school, so he keeps mentioning them over and over again.
He even told me what kind of fries to use! If he hadn’t, these wouldn’t be as good.
I would have grabbed the classic super crispy long french friends. But when I asked him more about pizza fries, he said “you have to use the chick-fil-a fries.” Ahhhh… okay.
Otherwise known as waffle fries!
Which let me tell you, is completely brilliant. Because each fry is like holding a mini pizza in your hand. IT IS PERFECT.
So here we are with this ideal game day snack that everyone in my life is now losing their mind over.
Crispy french fries
Melty, gooey cheesy
A drizzle of marinara
Super crispy pepperoni
Lots of parm
Fresh basil
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And that is how we’re here.
It’s so easy. They’re ridiculously good and if you like pizza? Then, hello, you’ll love these.
We make sheet pan nachos all the time. I also make fun versions of fries – like smashburger fries, chimichurri fries and hot honey feta fries.
So, I don’t know why I’ve never thought of this before. But thanks to Max, we’re now enjoying it and you can too!!
Game day weekend treats!

Sprinkling all over with parmesan cheese and the fresh basil. Top with pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately!
