Who said pizza always has to come out of an oven? Let’s take a trip back to the streets of Naples, where pizza fritta started as a beloved street food. It’s basically pizza dough fried to golden perfection, a favorite among locals looking for a quick, delicious bite.
It’s said that during tougher times, when not everyone could afford a traditional pizza, the fried version became a scrumptious alternative that didn’t skimp on taste.
Now, imagine jazzing up that crispy delight with some leftover rendang. Yes, you heard that right! We’re tossing in some rich, flavorful rendang with gooey mozzarella, all wrapped up in that crispy dough. It’s an unconventional twist that turns your leftovers into a mouth-watering treat.
Perfect for a casual dinner or when you want something a bit special without too much fuss. It’s your leftovers reborn into something spectacularly tasty and surprisingly simple to whip up.
So, let’s heat up that oil and get frying! This recipe is all about having fun in the kitchen and enjoying the magic of turning simple ingredients into something extraordinary. Each bite is a perfect mix of crunchy, melty, and umami, making it impossible to stop at just one.

Please visit my “Daging Rendang” page for the recipe.
Prepare a dutch oven or a deep fryer with at least 4 inches of oil.
*Insert a wooden chopstick into the oil. If bubbles are forming around the tip of the chopstick, the temperature of the oil is ready.*
After shaping the pizza dough, add 1 heaping TBSP of that leftover rendang, 1 stick of mozzarella and a small handful of scallions onto the pizza dough.
Fold the dough to make a 1/2 circle to cover the fillings completely,
Use a fork to seal the edges.
Gently and carefully, drop the pizza dough into the oil away from you.
Baste the pizza with the hot oil and deep fry until golden brown on all sides.
Carefully transfer the pizza dough onto a wire cooling rack or a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain off excess oil.
Repeat the process for the remaining pizza dough and fillings.
Slice and serve immediately.
