  1. Love the pizza. Home made ones are the best

  2. with pepperoni of course!! yummy!!

  3. Hi Margot,
    No pepperoni for me :-) The kids must have really enjoyed this. Homemade pizza is the best! We had a pizza party once where we supplied the pizza base and basic ingredients and guest are free to bring their own additional toppings because we had a competition for who could create the best tasting and also the most creative pizza :-) It was lots of fun. Some people made dessert pizzas (e.g. nutella, banana, almond flakes). yummm!

    Have a good day,
