Sometimes, it’s all about the delivery system.
I mean, where would raisins be without ants on a log?
Or kale without the green smoothie?
Or ice cream without the cone?
Okay, that’s a bad example. I’d eat ice cream out of a shoe if I had to.
The point here is sometimes changing up the delivery system can make you see food in a whole new light.
Such is the case with this cheesy, fun, party-worthy Pizza Fondue.
This is crazy simple stuff folks. I took our favorite pizza toppings, slapped them on a stick, then whipped up a quick mozzarella fondue for dunking, slathering, and eating straight up with a spoon.
The fondue starts with wine, continues with mozzarella and asiago, and ends in me licking the bowl clean. It’s really good. And it takes roughly 6.8 minutes to make.
The rest of this is just as quick. Hunks of garlic bread, turkey meatballs, and pepperoni are strung on bamboo sticks and baked until the garlic bread is a tad crispy and the smell is so overwhelming you can no longer control yourself. Chop a few choice veggies to serve on the side, heat up some marinara, and you’re done.
Pizza on a stick.
Obviously, this is wide open for you to experiment with all of your favorites. Love chicken pizza? Heat up some chicken skewers and dunk it in BBQ sauce. Want some extra veggies? Try it with broccoli or olives (wait…are olives a vegetable?). You could even go nuts and skewer up some pineapple and anchovies (but ewww).
Obviously, if you want to keep the cheesy fondue warm, you’ll want to put it in a nice fondue pot on low heat. But my fondue pot is straight from That 70s Show and a weirdo split pea soup color so I put mine in a pretty bowl instead. The moral of this story? Do what works. With pizza. With life.
This recipe is easily doubled or tripled to serve a crowd.

Notes
I do not recommend using pre-shredded cheese as it can be difficult to melt and may cause clumping.
If you're serving this to kids, feel free to substitute milk for the wine.

I’d love to see a photo of your old school fondue pot! Here’s to hoping it’ll make an appearance on your blog in the future 😉 Courtney, you outdo yourself all the time with your brilliance. Seriously, pizza fondue is one of the best things I’ve ever heard of. This is tied with Alice Hip Foodie Mom’s pizza pot pie. You ladies are killing it with these ingenious ways of getting one of my favourite foods, pizza, into my face and belly!

I just found out olives are a fruit! How messed up is that?!
