This little pasta salad has all the great flavors of a Supreme Pizza.  The first time I made it, I thought, hey this really does taste like a pizza!  This pasta is best when it is made ahead and allowed to chill in the refrigerator a few hours or over night.  This Pizza Pasta Salad has all the wonderful flavors of a supreme pizza! Plus it is a great make-ahead recipe!

The dressing is so yummy, and I have trouble deciding if the cubed mozzarella is my favorite part or the pepperoni.  No matter which part is your favorite, you will love this little recipe!
