February 9 is National Pizza Day – an excellent excuse to gather with friends and family around a wood-fired oven, pour a few drinks and crank up the music.

 

Sure, it’s an American tradition but it’s one we’re happy to adopt! Order home delivery or better yet make your own with our recipe below. Like most fast food Pizza is cheap and easy to make which is what makes it… fast food.

With a little planning and a lot of love you can create your own Pizza Party with friends and embrace the moment.

Here are four recipes to get the party started:
