Nine Books for National Pizza Day
February 9 is National Pizza Day. This year it is also Shrove Tuesday, a day when folks traditionally eat pancakes.
Personally, I prefer pizza to pancakes, well, to almost anything really.

Thank you, Margaret, for your delicious blog about pizza. I have heard that the smell of melting cheese is the most enticing of all food aromas, and I agree!
Please don’t leave out “How pizza came to our town” by Dayal Kaur Khalsa? It’s our favourite pizza book!
Hi, Karen
Thank you for your recommendation! Next year I will include fiction, too. One I liked this year was A Highly Unlikely Scenario, Or, A Neetsa Pizza Employee’s Guide to Saving the World.

Thanks, Muriel. Bread, tomatoes and cheese are a perfect combination. I don’t know why we bother with anything else!
National Pizza Day? Surprise! These all look yummy!
