This Weekend Set a Date with Your First Love - Pizza!

“I love my pizza so much, in fact, that I have come to believe in my delirium that my pizza might actually love me, in return. I am having a relationship with this pizza, almost an affair.” – Eat, Pray, Love

Elizabeth Gilbert had her priorities straight when she had this epiphany in the middle of chomping down on a slice of cheesy pizza which was busily mending her bruised soul. No, really! You’ve left your most faithful companion alone for too long and now it calls for you, whispering of its cheesy goodness. It has seen you at your best and at your worst, and stayed fast by your side.

Hence, without further ado, here is where you can go to rekindle your love affair with pizza once again.

Pepperoni pizza

Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver’s pizzeria's hand-made and stone baked pizzas are loaded with rustic, bold flavours.

The Soho

You can estimate how good Fat Lulu’s really is by their assertion that their Brooklyn-style pizzas are stiff competition to Detective Peralta’s pizza choices in the series Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Sink into plush brown leather sofas by their massive bay windows and order the Pork Me Up with pink bacon bits, asparagus, smashed garlic and ample, stretchy mozzarella cheese. Their moist, fresh pull-apart garlic bread is seriously addictive. Wood-fired ovens impart a smoky aftertaste to their pizzas.

Honey! It’s Bacon
