I grew up with this delicious snack. Simple to make and eaten cold.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Warm, saucy, and full of flavor, we loved snacking on these pizza strips. There is a lot of sauce, and add more than you think. We didn't add it all, and wished we had used more. But we used the extra sauce to dip our strips in, and it was a delicious final touch. The pizza dough is crispy with the flavorful, quick tomato sauce on top. These are almost like pizza, without the cheese. A nice appetizer for a less formal party or game day snack.
