Notes

For a twist, add pepperoni or sliced olives between the waffles. If using homemade waffles, let the batter rest for 5 minutes for fluffier texture. Store leftover pizza waffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in a toaster or oven. Avoid overfilling the waffle iron to prevent cheese from leaking out. Serve with ranch dressing or garlic aioli for extra flavor.
