Valentine’s Day Pizza

Let’s talk about Valentine’s Day Pizza! Valentine’s Day is all about love and caring, right? So, to celebrate, we’ve got a special recipe for you. This year, we’re doing things a bit differently. Instead of making a big fuss, we’re focusing on the joy of sharing: sharing food, moments, and laughter. We think that’s what love is all about, after all. So, forget about fancy stuff and let’s enjoy something simple yet really special together.

Why We’re Keeping It Simple

We love Valentine’s Day since it’s the day of love. We stand still by giving each other gifts and love. Of course, every day is a special day with the people you love, but on this day, we cherish our loved ones. It’s the little things that count: those small acts of kindness and love that often go unnoticed but mean the world. A shared look, a quiet moment together, a simple meal prepared with love.

This year, we want to bring those moments to the forefront of our celebration. We’re embracing the beauty of simplicity, the elegance of effort, and the joy of sharing something homemade, however imperfect. It’s a gentle reminder that, sometimes, the most memorable experiences stem from the simplest acts of love.

Our Heart-Shaped Pizza Recipe

With this warm feeling in our hearts, we proudly present our charming Valentine’s Day Pizza. Starting with a heart-shaped mozzarella pizza from Lidl, it’s a cute nod to love traditions. Sure, going for a ready-made pizza might seem a bit different for us, but it fits our theme of keeping things simple and enjoying the moment together. Adding our personal touch, we scatter juicy tomato slices, earthy mushrooms, tasty ham, fresh basil, and olives for a tangy twist. These toppings aren’t just toppings; they’re little expressions of love, making each bite special. We’re excited to share this heartfelt dish with you!

It’s All About Love

This Valentine’s Day Pizza is our way of saying, “Hey, we care about you.” It’s about keeping things simple yet heartfelt. We believe that even a simple gesture, like making a pizza, can speak volumes about how much we appreciate and love someone. So, let’s slow down this Valentine’s Day and focus on sharing moments together rather than getting caught up in the usual hustle and bustle. Whether you’re enjoying this pizza with your partner, your family, or your friends, let it be a reminder of the joy that comes from spending time together. From all of us at CherriesWithLove, we wish you a Valentine’s Day filled with love, laughter, and plenty of delicious food shared with the people who mean the most to you.

Preheat your oven to the temperature indicated on your Lidl heart-shaped mozzarella pizza package. Add tomato slices, mushrooms, Parma ham, and black olives to the pizza, then bake according to package instructions until the cheese is bubbling and the crust is golden. Finish by scattering fresh basil leaves on top before serving.

Ingredients

• 1 pre-made heart-shaped mozzarella pizza from Lidl

• Tomato slices

• Fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced

• Parma ham, torn into small pieces

• Fresh basil leaves

• Black olives, sliced

Directions

• Begin by preheating your oven to the temperature recommended on the pizza packaging. This is usually around 220 °C (425°F) for a conventional oven.
• While the oven is heating, take the heart-shaped mozzarella pizza out of its packaging. Place it on a baking tray lined with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
• Arrange thin slices of tomato evenly over the pizza, leaving a small border around the edge.
• Scatter the thinly sliced mushrooms across the pizza.
• Distribute the torn pieces of Parma ham over the pizza. The fat from the ham will render slightly in the oven, adding flavor.
• Sprinkle the sliced black olives over the pizza, distributing them evenly.
• Bake the pizza according to the package instructions until the edges are golden and crispy, and the cheese is bubbling.
• Once the pizza is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two. Add the fresh basil.
