Fun idea for Valentine's! Made bread sticks with the extra dough. Next time find a garlic butter for the bread sticks as they were bland.

Loved this pizza. Very quick if you don't feel like making homemade crust, and a cute idea as well.

I'VE BEEN MAKING HEART SHAPED PIZZAS (FOR VALENTINES) FOR MY FAMILY FOR YEARS! BUT I CUT MY PEPPERONI INTO HEARTS BY FOLDING THEM IN HALF AND CUTTING THEM WITH SCISSORS. NOW THATS MADE WITH LOVE!
