If pizza and loaded fries had a baby, these Pizza Fries would be it. Crispy fries get piled high with pizza sauce, melty mozzarella, pepperoni, Parmesan, and a little parsley for good measure. They're cheesy, crispy, ridiculously easy to make, and honestly one of my favorite lazy dinners when I want something fun. Whether you're making these for game day, movie night, or just because it's been a long week, don't forget the ranch for dipping.

Why You'll Love these Pizza Fries:
- The ultimate comfort food mash-up
- Ready in about 30 minutes
- Easy to customize with your favorite pizza toppings
- Perfect for parties, game days, or an easy dinner
- Kid and adult approved
Ingredient Notes:
- Frozen French Fries: Use your favorite! Waffle fries, crinkle-cut, steak fries, or seasoned fries all work great. (I especially love waffle fries here.)
- Pizza Sauce: A thicker pizza sauce works best so the fries stay crispy.
- Block Mozzarella: Shredding it yourself gives you the best melt.
- Pepperoni: Classic, crispy, and always a good choice.
- Parmesan: Adds a salty, savory finish.
- Fresh Parsley: Totally optional, but it brightens everything up.
Dietary Swaps:
- Gluten-Free: Use your favorite gluten-free frozen fries and double-check your pizza sauce and pepperoni.
- Vegetarian: Skip the pepperoni or use your favorite plant-based version.
- Lower Carb: Make these with roasted cauliflower or zucchini fries.
- Dairy-Free: Use your favorite dairy-free mozzarella and Parmesan alternatives.
Recipe Variations:
- Supreme Pizza Fries with sausage, peppers, onions, mushrooms, and olives.
- Meat Lover's Pizza Fries with sausage, bacon, and pepperoni.
- Hawaiian Pizza Fries with ham and pineapple.
- Buffalo Chicken Pizza Fries with shredded chicken and buffalo sauce.
- BBQ Chicken Pizza Fries with barbecue sauce instead of pizza sauce.
- Finish with hot honey or crushed red pepper flakes for a little kick.
Tips & Recipe Notes:
- Cook the fries until they're extra crispy before adding the toppings, they'll soften slightly once the cheese melts.
- Don't overload the fries with sauce or they'll lose that crispy texture.
- Freshly shredded mozzarella melts much better than pre-shredded.
- Broil just until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned. It only takes a minute or two, so keep an eye on it.
