Pizza Toppings

When it comes to pizza, I’m not picky. I’m happy with a loaded supreme, a veggie lover’s, or even a simple cheese pizza. We also love trying something out of the ordinary like Gyro pizza, jalapeño cheddar (of course), or shrimp pesto. Let’s get adventurous when it comes to pizza!

The following are some of the flavors we’ve currently got documented on the blog. I’m working on others too and will add them as they are ready. Stay tuned!
