Who doesn’t enjoy pizza? I mean seriously this stuff is good! Who ever created pizza should win a lifetime aware for BEING AMAZING!

We love to eat pizza!

Any kind: thin, hand tossed, pan, Chicago deep dish, New York style, Neapolitan  extra crispy, grilled, bites, calzone, Stromboli,  supreme, veggie and the list could go on and on. My personal favorite is hand tossed pizza loaded with everything and topped with red pepper flakes. I might even let you know that I am one of “those” people who dip their pizzas in ranch dressing. Appalling I know, but I love it!

This past weekend I was craving pizza. When I need a quick fix we usually call Pizza Hut or Papa John’a and have one delivered 45 minutes later. This go around I planned ahead and even made a homemade crust. I wanted a simple pizza for lunch but Shaun wanted a little touch of meat with his pizza so he added some Italian sausage to his pizza.
