Happy National Pizza Day!

Today’s the day for pizza, the food of which we dream…

Do I consume the pizza, or does the pizza consume me?

Just one bite, and then we’re hooked — “Give me more!” we scream…

Hmm, I dunno… Could you add MORE toppings?

Even when it’s cold and rubbery, devour it we must…

I’m into fitness. Fitness whole pizza in my MOUTH!

So have a pizza pie today, and join the upper crust!

Spare a crust of pizza for a poor dog, if you please sir?

    I was thinking about getting pizza tonight…and I forgot it was National Pizza Day! Now I guess I have to.

      Me, too – I’m tired of trying to figure out what to have for dinner. We had leftovers twice this week but pizza sounds good . And, by the by, this was so brilliant, Mike. I get the feeling you might have been preparing this one for a little while!? Love the first doggo looking rather Byzantine in that pizza halo. “Join the Upper Crust” ?????????

    The last picture is the best! Want to pet that melty-faced love slug.

      Great description, “melty-faced love slug”!!! πŸ˜€
      Which, of course, causes melty-faces and melty-hearts in human dog lovers. πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€

    Fitting right in with today being National Pizza Day, pizza is one of the selections for us in the dining room of our new senior living center. Pepperoni & Sausage are perfect!! I know what I’m having for din-din tonight along with a side salad. Gotta keep it healthy!!

    • allein ? February 9, 2018 / 12:29 pm

      I have a salad in the fridge from the batch I made for work lunches earlier in the week. Yesterday the cafeteria had something decent so I decided to buy lunch, and I took today off, so I’ll eat that with pizza.

    Just came back from a Neapolitan pizza lunch!

    • Clairdelune February 9, 2018 / 1:45 pm

      My very favorite!!! Hard to find around here, however, most pizza in the Mid-West is way too heavy. Outside of Italy, had the best Neapolitan pizza in Tokyo, Japan, of all places!!
      Still craving it… πŸ™

    Pizza – Food of the Gods. I heard from a reliable source that they eat pizza almost daily on Mount Olympus. ?

      You’ve got to have something besides nectar and ambrosia!

    That pug remind anyone else of Father Guido Sarducci’s “Find-a the Pope-a in the Pizza” sketch?

    • Murray C February 9, 2018 / 3:47 pm

      I don’t know that sketch but I LOVE him. I’m laughing out loud all by my ownsome again. I guess it’s a cross we all must bear.

      • Faye February 9, 2018 / 4:47 pm

        Cross we must bear… ?

        • Murray C February 9, 2018 / 7:59 pm

          You know, Gladly, the cross-eyed bear.

    “I’m into fitness. Fitness whole pizza in my MOUTH!” FTW!

    • Murray C February 9, 2018 / 8:00 pm

      ? I guess I’m easy – that’s hilarious.

      • Ricky's Mom February 10, 2018 / 7:49 am

        That’s two of us, Murray C β€” no joke too corny for me!

        • Meleo1 December 4, 2018 / 9:13 am

          Funny is funny, even when it’s corny!

    ?. Have become allergic to tomatoes.

    Mushroom, ricotta, spinach pizza with garlic and onion?

    • Murray C February 10, 2018 / 12:23 am

      Sounds fab. I love tomato sauce and sliced tomatoes, too – I just don’t like gobs of cheese on pizza. And I’m not a big fan of pepperoni or those kinds of meats in general. I like crumbled Italian sausage!

    • Smartypants February 10, 2018 / 7:48 am

      Eggplant and black olives – yum!

    I am weird. I don’t love pizza. I don’t love spaghetti, or goulash, or pretty much anything made with red sauce. Even Ketchup. I like a good alfredo pizza, spinach from Papa Murphy’s (or John’s, whichever it is that cooks them for you), add chicken. Unfortunately, the husband hates alfredo pizza. If I order pizza. I just order it with light sauce. We usually only eat pizza at family gatherings, and they usually order an alfredo or taco pizza for me.

    I’m glad to say that I celebrated in style! Not just a main-course pizza, but a cinnapie! Gotta love those dessert pizzas.

  12. Murray C February 10, 2018 / 12:16 am

    We celebrated with a small veggie pizza from the neighborhood pizza place. I wanted to see the opening ceremony of the Olympics so I didn’t want to have to cook and wash up. Hee, hee, I got out of it! But tomorrow I’ll make up for it and make something nice.

    Mike – I have a question – in order to give Cutetropolis some share of what I spend on Amazon do I have to click on the icon on this page before I shop? I’m confused about how this works. If you remember, I told you I had tried to include Cutetropolis when I shopped on Amazon Smile – and you said that was possible. I’m just not exactly sure how to accomplish it.

    • Not That Mike The Other Mike February 10, 2018 / 9:47 am

      You are correct. To make sure that I get an affiliate share, you should always begin your Amazon shopping by clicking the link in the sidebar.

      If you click the Amazon Smile link, not only will I get an affiliate share of your order, but you can also select a charity that will get a portion.

      • Murray C February 10, 2018 / 11:44 am

        Excellent – I have Best Friends chosen so that happens automatically but now I know what to do! Thanks.
