Homemade Pizza

 Bonjour my dear Sous-Chefs, Hope you all doing awesome.

Today we are gonna learn about a very special dish originated from Italy.

The first thing that comes to my mind when I hear the word Italy is PIZZA.

Pizza is the most loved dish all over the world. My all time favorite is Onion Pizza from Dominos.

I used to have Dominos Pizzas all the time when I was staying in Bangalore. Having pizza often is sure not a good thing to our body but once in a while give yourself a treat.

As Amy told Joey once😂

Uh Oh! "The Moment on the LIPS, Forever on the HIPS"
