We decided to deep fry our favorite food: Pizza. Not only did we batter and deep fry the pizza slices but we then took our slices and formed a pizza, slathered it in pizza sauce, covered it in shredded mozzarella, topped it off with pepperonis, and baked it to perfection. Then we brought it to the next level by battering it and deep frying it again. If you're having a party, and everyones on their Cheat Day, this pizza is for you.
