Jason:  You want to get some food?

Amy:  Pizza?

Jason:  Sure. That’s pretty agreeable.

Amy:  I just…I could eat pizza every meal of the day.

Jason:  Yeah, there’s Hawaiian pizza with pineapple and bacon on it. And, you know, you could also get vegetarian pizza. It’s almost like you’re eating a salad and your dinner at the same time with all the spinach on there.

Amy:  Yeah, you can get tons of vegetables on there. It’s almost like a health food.

Jason:  Well, what kind are you in the mood for today?

Amy:  You know, I like the traditional, cheese or peperoni. But are there any toppings you don’t like? Maybe we should rule those out first.

Jason:  Yeah, let’s leave out the onions.

Amy:  Oh yeah, I don’t like onions either.

Jason:  And what kind of crust?

Amy:  Well, I’m not starving, so deep dish might be a little too heavy. How about thin crust?

Jason:  Yeah, that’s a good way to go. And actually, I ask them to leave off some of the cheese sometimes.

Amy:  What? Leave off the cheese?

Jason:  Just about half, like use half as much cheese as you would normally use.

Amy:  No way. I love the greasy cheese.

Jason:  Right on.

Jason and Amy want to get something to eat. Amy suggests pizza. Jason thinks that pizza is an easy food to agree on because there are so many different kinds and styles. Amy agrees. She likes lots of vegetables on her pizza when she’s in the mood for something healthier, but she likes traditional types of pizza like cheese and pepperoni, too.

Jason and Amy talk about what kind of toppings and crust they want. Amy wants thin crust because she isn’t very hungry. Jason says to leave off the onions. Sometimes he thinks there is too much cheese on pizza, so he asks for half the cheese. But Amy loves cheesy pizza.

Do you like pizza? What are your favorite pizza toppings? What toppings do you not like on pizza?

I remember in my younger years at school I was always eager to take my compass from my geometry set, and draw a perfect circle, but the hardest shape was the  oval : )

My first pizza experience was many years ago, I had visited architecture exibition with my father and after that we decided to have some meal at the local cafeteria. I ate one of the cheapest types of pizza – with cheese and sausages only, but that pizza was soooo tasty, just incredible ahaha) And then, several years later, I ate a pizza with more, hm, complicated topping. But that pizza didnt make such impression on me, as that sausage pizza. I was dissapointed ahha) Well, it was tasty, but not very much. I think, it was cooked in a wrong way) But I want to visit Italy someday and apart from sightseeing to try true Italian pizza) And if I will be in Chicago some day, I’ll visit well-known pizzeria UNO and try their Deep-Dish Pizza.

Actually I would like to say When I want to enjoy in my food, I always choose my favourite food is pizza, specially when My sister cooking at the home.

When I have desire to eat Really I eat so much of pizza, I know there are many damages when we decide eat fast food against our health, For me I don’t like eat any food isn’t healthy but sometimes we aspire to change our mood we love go out for picnic or go to the restaurant with my family, my friends.

If we want to talk the objectivity we should confess the home food better more than food at the restaurant

I have some problems these days because I prefer eat out of my home more with my family and Eventually I starting suffer from many diseases, The doctor told me I should stop eat at the restaurant If I want to be healthy man

I hope All the best to everyone over the world as the same time God protect you from any harm, my recommend you should change your habit food.

I think Pizza is one of the most recognizable dishes, worldwide! Call it junk food, drunk food, Bachelor’s pie :) whatever it is it’s good, period!! (to me)


  During my first years living all alone, without any cooking experience under my belt, pizza has been a life savior to me. As much as I ate it, pizza has never gone stale, with so many crusts and so much spices, and toppings to choose from. I can tell you although they might look alike every pizza has a unique taste. I think Pizza is way up there with Cake and Diet Coca-Cola as ‘Masters of Events caterings’. This edible wheel comes handy for those of us who like to shun the hardship of doing the dishes or cooking. It’s the staple food for partiers, it’s said that pizza is very efficient in staving off hangovers and other malaises that people might feel from partying too much.


   I always felt a sense of freedom when I eat it, I just grab a slice with my bare hands, shove it into my mouth, and talk as a masticate, suddenly it’s okay to ditch all the hocus-pocus etiquettes such as, eat with proper utensils, eat on at the  table, wash your hands and don’t talk with your mouth full, masticate 20 times before swallowing. You can even consume it on-the-go. SmileI don’t have a preferred topping, but I like having my pizza delivered rather than homemade; there’s something very enticing about lifting that cardboard cover open and have this aromatic fume rush to your face saying “I’m hot, but I taste better this way, devour me”. I see people leaving the dry, hard edges untouched and I think to myself “what a waste!”, it’s like eating ice cream and trash the cone. I see people dab a napkin over their pizzas to soak up the extra grease, and I yell “No! leave it there, it’s good grease, you’re killing the flavor” : )


     With delivery price hiking up and drivers urging me to tip more generously, I decided to cut back on pizza for a while. Also, because I tend to embrace a more ‘healthy’ diet now, I don’t find myself craving for a Pizza like I used to, but the last time I had it, mmm… it tasted just as good and I couldn’t content with only one slice. The day I turn down a slice of Pizza, please rush me to the hospital , something is definitely wrong with meLaughing


Look at mom and daughter in the photo, all smiling. When in doubt or in pajamas one can never go wrong with Pizza for dinner : )
