National Pizza Day – What’s your favourite topping?
It’s National Pizza Day! It’s not like we need an excuse to eat pizza, but it’s good to have one anyway!
We can’t have a pizza without giving it that extra Italian taste using an infused extra virgin olive oil or balsamic vinegar, it makes it taste like you are sitting in Rome next to the Trevi Fountain eating a really authentic masterpiece!
To celebrate we have put together a list of eight family favourite pizzas, whatever flavour you’re looking for, there’s always a pizza and a The Gift of Oil product out there to tingle your taste buds!
Meat Feast
If a deep pan meat feast pizza, covered in pepperoni, beef and ham doesn’t taste glorious enough, our delightfully earthy but sweet truffle infused balsamic vinegar drizzled across the top after cooking creates an unimaginable taste sensation.
Four Cheese Margherita
As great as a Margherita is, it can sometimes perhaps taste a little bland and boring. A drizzle of Chilli & Garlic Olive Oil and Caramelised Onion Balsamic Vinegar will take it to a different level altogether and one guaranteed to make you want more!
Mexican Heatwave
Trust us, when you taste how amazing our Basil Olive Oil and Vine Tomato Infused Balsamic Vinegar
tastes when drizzled over a Mexican heatwave pizza, you will never want a takeaway pizza again. The flavours of the oil and balsamic mixed with onions, red peppers, juicy tomatoes and jalapeño create a truly wonderful taste sensation!
