Why Choose a Heart Shaped Pizza?

There's something undeniably charming about a heart shaped pizza. It's a simple yet meaningful way to show someone you care. Plus, who can resist the combination of gooey cheese, savoury sauce, and your favourite toppings all baked into a delightful heart shape?

How to Make a Heart Shaped Pizza

Making a heart shaped pizza is easier than you might think. Start by shaping your pizza dough into a heart shape – you can use a heart shaped pan or simply mould it by hand. Then, add your sauce, cheese, and toppings as usual. Pop it in the oven and bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly. Voila! You have a delicious heart shaped pizza ready to be enjoyed.

Get Creative with Toppings

One of the best things about making pizza at home is the endless possibilities for toppings. Get creative with your heart shaped pizza by adding toppings that your loved one enjoys. Whether it's classic pepperoni and mushrooms or something more adventurous like pineapple and jalapeños, the choice is yours. Just make sure to arrange the toppings in a way that showcases the heart shape.
