Pizza Recipe

 

If we look back a couple of decades, it can be observed that people had a very few choices in fast food and normally it was desi. But with the evolving times and the influence of west and east through internet and TV, we are trying and incorporating different cuisines in our daily food. The most famous in Pakistan are Chinese, Thai, Arabic and Italian.

The Italian cuisine is the most famous among the youngsters. The variety of pastas, pizza, lasagna and breads are very popular food choices in Pakistan. Now pizza have a separate fan base. I don’t think that anyone hates it!!!!!! Everyone loves a loaded cheesy pizza, no matter the time. The best thing about them is that you can top it with any kind of meat choice; processed meat like sausages, pepperoni and ham. You can also make a plain cheese pizza if you have a fetish for cheese and you don’t care for being over weight or love to work out after having it. 😂
