Love comes in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes it arrives in the form of crispy, thin-crust delights with generous toppings and sometimes in pan-cooked, deep dishes loaded with a generous helping of cheese. Sometimes, they come as classics with Margherita or Pepperoni on a bed of tangy, tomato sauce and sometimes with unique improvisations like four-cheese burst, honey-glazed pineapples with bacon, sour cream with meatballs on olive oil or a barbecue sauce base. Sometimes, we crave Italian or American-style flavours and at times, even our traditional tandoori delights with a spicy Indian tadka become irresistible. By now, I’m sure you can agree that pizza is love redefined. Whether we’re celebrating or down with the blues, pizza is that one comfort food that never ceases to elate us.
