Pizza, pizza, pizza. Oh, how we adore you. What to order for a kid’s birthday party? Pizza! What to cook on a busy night? Pizza! I just cannot cook another meal. Pizza!
Pizza to the rescue! What makes cheese and tomato sauce a magical combination? Is it the tried and true combo of fat + salt + acid? Probably. Or are you more into all the possible toppings? Yes!
