Hello! Today is my second favorite day of the year (after Thanksgiving) = National Pizza Day. So in honor of this joyous occasion I made a heart shaped pizza. Love.
I used Trader Joe’s wheat dough and this random tomato sauce.
I <3 Pizza.
I also made ranch dressing with a packet of Hidden Valley, greek yogurt and some mayo.
Since today is National Pizza Day I feel like I should share a lil ode to pizza…
Question: What was the BEST PIZZA you’ve ever had?
Me: The pizza I had in Tampa in November. Ah-mazing!!
Colleen @ Keep it Real Clean says
Oh my gosh. How did I not know that it was National Pizza Day. That’s a crime. Thank you so much for this PSA. Now, I’m going to go eat only pizza for the week…you know, for honor and all.
Amy @ runlikeabird says
That Selena gif, though. <3 Please film yourself doing the washing machine.
Alisha @ Real Girl Running says
I totally missed National Pizza Day!!! 🙁 Maybe because I’m not in the US, so it’s not technically my national pizza day … I’ll have to find out when the Aussie one is!
The best pizza ever is a hard call to make. In fact, I don’t think I can tell you the best! I pretty much fall in love with whatever pizza I’m eating at the time, and it becomes my new best 🙂
Sheena @ Paws and Pavement says
Now I really want pizza! I plan to get some Friday night before my half marathon on Saturday, gotta love carbing up!
Heather @ Run Eat Play says
Yum pizza! We have a little pizza place near us called V&V that I love! Chicago pizza is the best! 🙂
Erin @ Erin's Inside Job says
There is place called Blaze here in Chicago that is amazing! It’s like the Chipotle of pizzas: go down an assembly line and for $8 you can put whatever you want on it. They toss in in the wood fired stove and you have a delicious piece of heaven in just a couple minutes! It’s so amazing and now I may have to go there tonight. Thanks for the reminder!
Sue says
Oh man…I wish I knew this when I was in Chicago last year! It’s so diff to find vegan pizza.
Livi @ Eat, Pray, Work It Out says
National Pizza Day and Valentine’s in one week?! TOO MUCH!
runeatrepeat says
I know! LOVE LOVE LOVE.
Lauren says
YUM. Totally making this on Saturday for lunch, haha!
Ashley @ Saving Money in your Twenties says
bah! It’s been too long since I’ve had pizza. My fam ordered one of those triple cheese pizzas a few weeks ago (from some chain that I now forget, papa johns maybe?) and it was actually really amazing. I want more of that right nowwww.
Stacy @ Sweating Tulipz says
I <3 Pizza! I was just talking to my hubby about making a <3 shaped pizza on Saturday for V-day! So funny that you beat me to it! (I'm sure mine would turn out more like a circle and a catastrophe anyway!) I cannot possibly choose the BEST pizza I have ever had…too hard! There is a place in Pittsburgh: Vincent's… you can basically pour the oil off of it and the toppings are so fresh! It's pretty healthy. HA! If I had to choose my favorite place, it'd probably be the winner! Enjoy your pie!
Shannon in Tustin says
Best in my life? Chicago for sure; Giordano’s for deep dish. Armand’s for the thinner style. 🙂
Here in So Cal my favorite is probably Z pizza; a little pricey but super yummy.
We also have our own favorite cheap pizza, which is for the most part where we get it most of the time. Who wants to over-pay for bread cheese and cured meats?!
runeatrepeat says
I need to go there. I cannot find great pizza around here.
Janelle says
Gusta Pizza in Florence, Italy. That obviously cannot be beat
The closest to it that I’ve ever had in America is Balducci’s in Salem NH. To all the greater-Boston area people, this place is a gem! Literally tastes just like Italy – it’s the oven!

Leslie @ Life Begins @ 30? says
I LOVE pizza!! I always eat way too much of it. My fave was in NYC at Grimaldis. Totally worth standing outside in the cold waiting to get in.
Megan @ Skinny Fitalicious says
There’s this place called Grimaldi’s in Phoenix. They have the best pizza. It has tons of garlic and italian seasonings.
Amy @ Mama Running for God says
I LOVE pizza too!!!!!!!
AdjustedReality says
Oh man, I love pizza. One of my favorites is Conan’s (in Austin), they do huge deep dish pizzas. So decadently good.
Linda @ TheFitty says
I guess you can day this was, MADE WITH LOVE *wink wink* 😉
Sally @ sweat out the small stuff says
Lucky for me I live in New York City. I have amazing pizza options all over. But I love brick oven pizza from lombardi’s.
Becky @ Ok, so here's the plan says
Lombardi’s is the best! 🙂
Jill @ Champagne for Everyday says
This is so incredibly adorable!! Love it !! It reminds me of the heart shaped pancakes my mom made me as a kid, but the savory version 🙂
Alison says
The best pizza I’ve had recently was from Pizza Luce in Duluth, MN. Their Spanish Chicken with gouda, mushrooms, red onion, and marinated chicken – so yum!
runeatrepeat says
That sounds delicious!
kristin | W [H] A T C H says
i must eat pizza today.
Kelli says
I have to know where in Tampa did you have that pizza? I live in Tampa!
Paula says
Second what you said! I live in Gainesville, but this New England-er would drive a couple hours for good pizza.
Alison says
Paula, you have to go to Satchel’s Pizza! It’s amazing! Right in Gainesville. One of the best pizza places around the area.
Paula says
DERP. A friend took me there the week after we moved in last summer and I always forget about it. Our diets clearly have a pizza deficit.
kelli says
Ha ha I hear you Paula we will drive for good food!!
runeatrepeat says
Sam and Eddie’s! It was amazing. We shared the eggplant parm pizza and another one I forget.
