Pizzaron
November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ ConnieAnother example of Filipino ingenuity, pizzaron is pizza cooked just like turon (banana spring rolls).
I first learned about pizzaron when a friend sent a SMS asking if I had tried it. I said no, I didn’t even know what it was. My husband said probably pizza tppped with chicharon (pork cracklings). I said no, they wouldn’t go together. Days after, over dinner, our friend explained. Start by spreading pizza sauce, toppings and cheese on a flattened slice of bread. Roll up the bread, dip in beaten eggs, and deep-fry. I decided to try it.
Yesterday, while preparing our pizzaron, my 11-year-old daughter was spreading sauce on bread slices and asking what exactly was going to be done to the rolled up bread. I said we were going to dip them in beaten eggs and deep-fry them. She said we should roll them in bread crumbs after dipping them in eggs. Smart girl. She was absolutely correct. Our cooked pizzaron looked and tasted good enough to serve at a children’s party. Crisp on the outside, moist on the inside.

hi, I kinda have an idea about this recipe. Instead of pizza toppings, I usually use ham and cheese — more of the susie roll type… but cant wait to try pizza toppings!!! great idea. thanks.
Salami or pepperoni would be great too.
Hello. I’m browsing the web for possible recipes for my son’s first birthday party. I think i’ll gonna try this one and sure kids will enjoy. Your a big help. Thanks.
hi connie,
This is a great recipe,but i made my own version.the easy way,first spread the tomato ketchup on the flattened bread,then add the drained boiled ham or hotdog slices and added some button mushroom(canned) and red or green bell pepper, topped with cheese then roll,dip and fry.hmm delicious.masarap ding substitute ang canned tuna(Drained).
God bless you and thanks for your site.
Veeery interesting recipe
. I wouldn’t have to spend for pizza deliveries whenever I crave for pizza. Good job 
hi ate connie! i tried this recipe tonight for our dinner. it was a big hit! both my mom and dad absolutely loved it. thanks so much!!!
hello, ms. connie…
my sis-in-law made a similar dish last year as her potluck dish last christmas…although she used ham and cheese. but, it was the best seller of the party….i think she made 2 trays na super full and the rolls were wiped out in a flash. it was click na click sa mga kids…according to my brother in law, its also a good pulutan dish din…but substitute (canned)spicy sisig or spicy tuna instead…goes well with light beer and mga wine coolers (for the ladies)…ultimate party food…
I remember doing the same thing, but only using ham and cheese. It tastes almost like Cordon Blue—the one sold in supermarkets and served in fancy restaurants. However, this one is less expensive but still sumptuous as the same time.
I’m definitely trying this version. Thanks!
Hi Ms. Connie,
Thanks for sharing this recipe. I tried this two weeks ago and it was delicious and easy to prepare. I used sweet ham and wheat bread although the ham became a little salty after getting fried with the bread.
Will try it again using tuna or salami.
hi there…just learned about your website a month ago… and it’s superb all the cooking and recipe idea’s are great. about this entry “pizzaron” can you help me how to keep them somehow crunchy for hours? I’m planning to make them a head of time before serving on a small get together , say 4hours before serving it. Is there any other way than storing them in foil and keeping them in an insulated storage bag? Just wondering if there would be any other tricks… thanks and more power.
If you keep them covered, the steam build-up will make them soggy.
Hmmm, now I know how to go about making something similar to Mini-stop’s Kariman! Thanks, Ms. Connie!
may i ask, what is the best substitute for basil? since it’s hard to find basil here in the rural area.
A lot of people from rural areas have told me that basil grows abundantly. It’s known by different names though. There’s really no substitute.
