Call me old school

I love my pizza to be soft and springy with crispy outer crust

I don’t crave for the thin and crisp crust that is popular nowadays

My family love pizza and we make them together

From kneading the dough

To stamping the crust

Applying tomato paste to the crust

Layering ingredients and cheeses

Family who eat together Stay together
