Add parmesan cheese and 1/2 of the cheddar or mozzarella cheese and beat to combine.

Roll out pizza dough. Cut into large triangle. Use reserve dough to create second triangle. Spread spinach mixture onto one of the triangles. Top mixture with second triangle. Press edges of dough together. Use pizza cutter and cut into strips from the edges into the center about 2-3 inches. Then, twist the strips.
