Pizza Nights Are A Timeless Tradition | honeyandbirch.com

Last year when I met Jacques Pepin, he spoke in length about food and memories. How you could eat something and be brought back in time to the last time you experienced that taste.

I was going through a box of old photos and was surprised to see how many times I have celebrated life’s moments with pizza.

No 18th birthday part is complete without pizza, right?

Surprising a friend at work on her birthday? Pizza.

New Year’s Eve? Pizza.

Now that Mr. B and I don’t go out as much (hey, we got old) our celebrations are much smaller and for silly things (like hockey games instead of birthdays.)

But we still break out the pizza, usually paired with salads now.

No date night is complete at our house without a salad. I wanted to pizza to be the standout part of our meal so I threw together this no-recipe tossed Greek salad. Instead of salad dressing, we just tossed on a little olive oil and flavored vinegar (a present from a neighbor.)

Let me tell you, best salad ever for pizza. I often can’t decide on a pizza flavor… so we make two!

  4. We love Red Baron pizza! It is our favorite pizza. When my son was 4 years old we had to move to a new town and house and everything was a mess. We had not unpacked and we only had a big cardboard box set out with a couple of chairs and I decided to make it a pizza night. We made Red Baron pizza and sat on our chairs and I put a tablecloth over the cardboard box and had a wonderful fun dinner in our new house.

  42. Red Barron was a staple in my house when I was growing up. My mom was a working single mom, so every Friday she’d pop these in the oven and we’d enjoy our “take out” night. When I got to college and eventually lived on my own, I carried that tradition with me, and like you paired it “grown up” things like salad or (when we could afford it during our college years) beer, then wine (when we got a bit older). So, this post is nostalgic for me. I love the salad you share, but also the milestones that pizza is a part of. Thanks so much for sharing this with us on #SHINEbloghop this week. We’re so glad you could join us, Jenny!

  47. When I was a younger teenager we didn’t really have any pizza in our town – but for slumber parties we’d get a box of pizza mix and make our own! Now most kids probably can’t imagine not having a pizza place!

    Thanks for sharing on our Throwback Thursday link party last week and I can’t wait to see what you have for us this Thursday!
