Pizza Pizza
Anyone remember those old Little Caesars’ Commercials from waaay back?
They were (are) ridiculous, but all these years later I still say “Pizza Pizza”, out of the blue, in that silly voice.
The poodle is just plain creepy in this one.
And some singing. That uvula is so bizarre.
Enough of those and on to these.
Pizza Pizza.
I love making pizza and I love to make different kinds.
These two recipes were fantastic together as the flavors were very complimentary, but different enough to add variety to the meal.
