Heart-shaped pizzas: Lovable or lame?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
So it’s come to this. Short on energy and time, my family is going to eat takeout pizza on Valentine’s Day. So much for trying to make it special; we’re just phoning it in.
And apparently we’re not alone. Papa John’s is serving heart-shaped pizzas through Feb. 17 in honor of Valentine’s Day. Mangia of Austin, Texas, which ships frozen deep-dish Chicago style pizzas around the country, also offers a specially shaped pie, in spinach, pepperoni or veggie versions. So somebody must be ordering them. (Not us; we’re picking up from the excellent Blue Moon Pizza in Smyrna.)
When the moon hits your eye like a big heart-shaped pizza pie, that’s amore … or at least a gimmick that pumps up pizza sales and quells any worries about garlic breath.
Has anyone tried the Papa John’s heart-shaped pizza yet (it’s been available all week)?
What’s the most romantic Valentine’s meal you’ve ever eaten? The lamest?
