Although you can add anything you prefer to this recipe, we love ours with peppers no onions, provolone cheese, and thinly sliced ribeye leftover (cooked from a previous meal), or for an easy cheesesteak pizza roll just use deli roast beef.
Sometimes we make several smaller pizza rolls and make all different combinations.
Typically beef such as ribeye is the traditional Philly Cheesesteak meat of choice.
It is sliced super-thin and cooked on a hot flat-top griddle until well done then placed in a hoagie roll with melted cheese ( American, provolone, or soemthing like Velvetta).
The restaurants we've been to in Philadephia offer a variety of options grilled chopped white onions, onion, sauteed mushrooms and a whole list of variational toppings.
Adapt and make the this stuffed Philly Cheese Steak Pizza dough anyway your heart desires.
This all in one baked sandwich just may become your new favorite for the famous cheesesteak sandwich.
