Like the opening credits of a film, or the theme song to your favorite show, the arrival of the antipasto tells you something special is about to start.
Italy's response to French hors d'oeuvres, antipasto is a combination of various small foods that are usually served before a meal. Traditionally, the antipasto is meant to stimulate the appetite and get the taste buds ready for the meal without over filling the stomach. The term was first used during the sixteenth century.
Ahh…brownies. Chocolatey, fudgy, soft and chewy, cakey, it really doesn't matter. There's just something irresistible about brownies. Some prefer crispy edges so much that there are special pans that create edges on every brownie. Others cut the edges off so that they're left with pure, gooey goodness.
Pizza can either be a healthy combination of fresh, tasty ingredients or a calorie-laden meal.
Don't misunderstand me; there's nothing wrong with either option. I love a good cheat meal every once in a while, just as much as I love a healthy treat. And if I can have both at once, even better.
Here's how to build your own pizza with a healthier profile and plenty of flavor.
What makes a pizza movie moment unforgettable? What makes it iconic? When we’re talking about pizza, an iconic scene would be one in which the pizza took center stage, made the scene, or even the movie, memorable, and most importantly, made you crave pizza. Below, in no particular order, are some scene-stealing movie moments that might just make you crave a little pizza.
Hailed (get it?) as one of the greatest recipes to originate in the Americas, the Caesar salad is the perfect companion to any pizza.

However, I've attempted to at least put together the who, where, why, what, and more of the history of Caesar salad.
The modern pizza is known the world over for its hearty versatility both in the kitchen and on the table. With hundreds of dough and crust variations and thousands of toppings and sauces available, the pizza is a blank canvas that can become a culinary work of art with endless flavor possibilities.
Wings and pizza go together like peanut butter and jelly, milk and cookies, chocolate and peanut butter, French fries and ketchup, rock and roll I think you get the picture. If you're searching for the best wing places that deliver near me, say no more!
Most pizza fanatics will agree that nothing can compare to pizza served directly from the oven, but a pizza delivered directly to your door might be a close second. And with more than 1 billion pizzas delivered each year, it’s pretty clear that it’s not just pizza fanatics who think this way. Each pizza delivered arrives in a ubiquitous cardboard box, however, if it weren’t for this simple box, pizza delivery would have a completely different look.
Ah, pizza, what’s not to love? Since this is all about statistics and fun pizza facts, I’ll begin with a bold statement: chances are, at some point in your life, pizza was (and may still be) your favorite food.
Making the perfect pizza dough is definitely an art form. When done right, it is crispy, crunchy, and delicious. A perfect pizza will make a lasting impression. Let me describe it to you.
It begins with the crust - golden brown with a crisp outer layer but light and airy inside. If you don’t have that, it’s not worth going any farther. It's hard to believe that four simple ingredients — water, salt, flour, and yeast - can turn into something so delectable. And with a touch of butter brushed around the edges, you have the perfect butter crust pizza.
