Comfort foods; pizza

So seeing as this is a blog that is suppose to encompass my being and personality; I think I should address a topic that many poeple know about me but don't fully understand. I have a huge adoration for food. There's a big place in my heart for food, but that place is more specifically dedicated to my love of PIZZA.

If we're being honest.. what's not to love?

Fluffy baked dough crunchy on the outside but soft inside.
Red, spiced dreamy sauce coating the dough.
Topped with mozzarella cheese.
Baked in an oven until that cheese melts to a nice golden brown.
When you bite into it, there's an abundance of flavour and cheesy goodness.
And even though there are many variations of the pizza, I still like to stick to the simple cheese pizza... because it consists of the perfect cheese to crust to sauce ratio.

Besides the obvious deliciousness of a pizza... there are plenty more reasons why I love this Italian meal.

I once read somewhere that Grecs believed that everything that was a circular or round shape was created by the Gods. That's where all their beliefs about the sun and earth come from. Pizza is a circular shape, so it is apparent to me that pizza was created by the Gods. That's why it's so heavenly to eat.

It's one of the only foods that I have never gotten sick of eating. I could eat it everyday, for every meal. The only thing that's stopping me is the discusting fact of how much fat and calories it has. I don't know how New Yorkers control themselves with famous New York pizza or I think it's Chicago with their deep dish pizza. There's just so much love of pizza to go around... I wouldn't be able to stop myself. I truly believe that no matter where life takes me, as long I live somewhere near a really good pizzeria... I would be able to live a happy life.

On top of all this, pizza or just food in general has never let me down. It's the only thing that's never let me down. I can count of delicious foods, to be there for me when I need them. Food is comfort for me, and I have no problem admitting that.

Pizza is my comfort food.
It's also a vegetable... so I think it's a healthy choice :)

  1. This makes me laugh. It reminds of that time in class you managed to include pizza in all of your answers for that grammar quiz. :)

  2. Pizza is one of the best things to ever grace the food world. The best of course is nice hot classic pizza but there are so many types like desert pizzas, which I still have to try for myself one of these days!
    And if you ever get the chance, go to Italy, specifically to Naples. They have the best pizza you will ever have. I swear it's absolutely amazing.
