Today, many stuffed crust pizzas go far beyond the simple addition of mozzarella cheese to the breading.
Then again, who could have predicted a lot of other things, too.
Here are sixfast-food pizza chainswith some great stuffed crust pizzas.

Papa John’s
Papa John’s is arguably the second name in stuffed crust pizza.
And the chain doesn’t offer just any old stuffed crust, but instead “Epic Stuffed Crust.”
The result is a pizza with more cheesy taste (and calories) instead of a different taste.

There’s much love for Little Caesars' stuffed crust pies on the web.
Cicis
Cicis offerstwo stuffed crust pizzas: a Cheese Stuffed Crust and a Pepperoni Stuffed Crust.
In those parallel strips of pizza crust, you’ll find a plethora of cheese.

An unusual pizza, to be sure, but Cicis does most things in an offbeat kind of way.
It is a pizza buffet restaurant, after all, and those are hard to find these days.
No, these guys went ahead and made a whole line of stuffed pizzas.
Little Caesars / Facebook
Each stuffed pizza features a layer of crust topped by plentiful foodstuffs followed by yet another layer of crust.
And yes, atop this upper crust, you still get cheese and more toppings.
It’s sort of like laying two thin crust pizzas atop one another.
Cicis Pizza
Marinara Pizza is a smaller chain with just five locations at present, all of which are in Manhattan.
