On that particular day, I was taking pictures around lunch, and it was killing me not to be able to eat them. I was holding the camera in one hand and the cheese-filled pizza pocket in the other. The pizza pocket was all I wanted to do, slowly move it to my mouth. Mmmmm…
These handmade pizza pockets are my favorite since you can pretty much put anything inside of them. You can stuff them full of vegetables. Or stuff them full of cheese. All of your favorite pizza toppings are available!
Serve them with your favorite pasta sauce, preferably one that isn’t too thick, for dipping. Hunt’s Thick & Rich Pasta Sauce worked great for me!
