CONTEST NOW CLOSED- Take a Break From Your Diet, It’s Pizza Party Day!

Alan_K — Fri, 24 May 2019 17:52:40 GMT

Hey Community,

Assemble the squad because it’s Pizza Party Day! We love pizza because it’s the food that gives you the best bang for your buck, kind of like Public Mobile. Plus, you have ultimate flexibility in your choice of toppings just like we have tons of choices when you’re building your own plan. The real question is, haven’t you always wondered where this magical combination of cheese, sauce, and bread comes from? What genius had the idea to put these ingredients into a wood-fire oven and change the world forever? We did some digging and here’s what we found:

While many believe pizza was invented in Italy, its origins have deeper roots. People in countries such as Greece and Egypt would cook flat bread in mud ovens during ancient times.

It wasn’t until the 1500s when tomatoes were brought from South America back to Europe that the dish we call pizza came into existence. Bakers in Italy would use their excess dough from the day combined with tomatoes and cheese to create a delicious and low-cost food.

During the late 1800s a man named Raffaele Esposito was asked to prepare a pie for Queen Marghertia of Savory. One of the pizzas he made included tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil. The Queen loved the pizza so much Esposito deemed it Pizza Marghertia.

Now you have some knowledge to share at your next pizza party! In fact, we want to make that pizza party a reality. Comment below by 12:00 pm ET on May 24, 2019 and tell us your favourite pizza toppings and we’ll randomly three winners who will receive a $50 Domino’s gift card. As we all know, the only thing better than pizza, is free pizza! Contest runs May 17 to 24, 2019. Read Contest Rules before entering.

I'm going to have to go with Pepperoni and Bacon. Those are my go-to toppings when ordering from Domino's Pizza. 😄

Thanks for this fun contest, by the way!

Pepperoni and mushroom, extra tomato sauce. That's it for me, but i'm sure that's partly because I don't want to pay for extra toppings

Re: Take a Break From Your Diet, It’s Pizza Party Day!

Interesting information on origins...

Best pizza (subjectively speaking)!

So long as it doesn't include any meat, anchoivies, pineapple, mushrooms (especially canned), or olives...it's all good:)

A pizza I loved to have at a local pub is what I'm recommending you try, and is, therefore, my submission for this contest.

I ordered this pizza so much, they put it on special as the Pizza of the Week a number of times, and called it the St. StoneChucker (well they used my real name).

The toppings I selected are mushrooms, bacon, and pulled pork. One night, they ran out of pulled pork because a 'going away' party for a former co-worker, everyone ordered it after I placed mine. 8 pizzas were made that night.

Ohhh... I need to make this now at home for myself!

Great and fun idea for a contest.

Simple pizza is the best. Pizza brushed with garlic-infused extra-virgin olive oil, covered with mozzarella cheese, traditional tomato sauce, freshly grated Parmesan cheese and herbs.
