Pizza fries/cheese fries

[MaggieTheCat]

Is this a Wisconsin thing?

I'm not talking about french fries covered in cheese/marinara sauce/etc. The pizza fries/cheese fries I used to be able to get in Wisconsin were pizza crust, some kind of garlic-y sauce, cheese, and dried herbs. It was like a cheese pizza with no marinara sauce on the crust, instead it had some kind of butter-garlic sauce. And no toppings besides cheese. Usually cut into strips or "fries" and served with marinara sauce to dip in.

Whenever I do a search for pizza fries or cheese fries, I always come up with french fries covered in pizza toppings, which isn't at all what I knew pizza fries as in Wisconsin. :x It must be a northern thing? Does anyone have a recipe for these? I'm making pizza tonight with homemade dough and I might take some dough and just try covering it with melted butter, garlic powder, mozzarella, and dried herbs and see what happens.

It might just be. This is the first I've heard of this. Sounds yummy, though

I saw that recipe too, Seraph, which is what made me think to use butter and garlic powder on my pizza dough tonight. (that's the only recipe I've found that even resembles what I'm talking about.) I'm not sure if that's it but we'll find out tonight!

The pizza place I used to work at has breadsticks that are like that.

Now I want breadsticks

Definitely let me know, because darn it sounds tasty! I saw the website of the restaurant you must've been to.....made my mouth water hardcore, LOL.

That's what I was thinking. There are a number of pizza places that do bread sticks/cheese bread sticks, and if they are a pizza place, it's likely just pizza dough. It should be noted that most of these places are fast food pizza (papa johns and such)

And yes, now I really want that....

[MaggieTheCat]

They're definitely not cheesy breadsticks, at least not the kind you'd get from Papa John's, Dominos, or Pizza Hut. Those are usually big and fluffy, the cheese fries I remember are thin and crispy, like a thin crust pizza.

There is a place around here that makes them...soooo yummy.

*has a brainstorm*

Try searching for "garlic bites" or "cheesy garlic bites" or "garlic bites with cheese." I know exactly what you are talking about; the pizza places where I went to college had them, and that's what they were called there. This was in Hamden, CT (go Quinnipiac! ).
