When Knitting Was a Manly Art

Pretty Pie

Yesterday afternoon, before I arrived at work, a young lady called the the restaurant and asked if she could get a special pizza for her boyfriend’s birthday.

She wanted a pepperoni pizza, with the slices laid down in a heart shape. When I arrived, the counter gal asked if I had any problem doing this. No big deal…

Later the young lady called again to confirm the order, but wanted to add a topping of black olives and plenty of topping cheese.

We decided all that stuff would obscure the heart, so…. I rolled out a sheet of dough and hand cut a heart shape, sauced it, put down pepperoni and olives and baked it.

I think it turned out pretty nice, huh…?

Heart Pizza

Oh.. The pizza was a success…

Your heart shaped pizza is lovely! Years ago when my son was young and didn’t like turkey, for thanksgiving I would make a pizza in the shape of a turkey. Gobble, gobble!

How romantic! Wasn’t there a commercial about 20 years ago that mentioned a heart shaped pizza?
You did a great job. I made my mouth water just looking at it.
