Heart-shaped pizza from Pitfire
Sharing a pizza is a love language in itself. So when it’s a heart-shaped pizza with a personal message on the box, it’s an entirely different story. Expert pie makers at Pitfire Pizza are creating a heart-shaped base that you can top with any of the 21 pizza flavours available on the menu. You will also be able to add a personal message inside the box for your special someone. If you need inspiration, Pitfire has prepared a list of cheesy yet cute messages like “Without you, life is like pizza without cheese”, and our favourite, “Unlike this pizza, you can’t be topped”. Or just use “Love fades, pizza is forever” if you’re just digging into one by yourself.
Feb 14, available through delivery only. Order via Deliveroo @pitfire.pizza.dubai, www.pitfiredubai.ae (800 7483473).
