In Praise of Pizza

In the beginning, there was flour—fine and powdery, like stardust

The pizzaiolo, hands dusted with magic, kneads the dough. It stretches, yearning for shape, like a planet forming in the cosmic oven

The yeast whispers secrets of fermentation, and the dough rises—a celestial ascent

Behold the tomato sauce, crimson as a supernova

It swirls across the dough, a passionate kiss. Garlic confides its mysteries, basil dances in aromatic pirouettes, and oregano hums ancient melodies

Mozzarella, a Milky Way of melted dreams, blankets the canvas

Choose wisely, for toppings are the constellations of flavour

Pepperoni, like fiery comets, streak across the firmament

Mushrooms, earthy and mysterious, hide in craters

Bell peppers, red and green, signal to distant galaxies

Anchovies—tiny fish from Poseidon’s realm—add a salty cosmic twist

And so, dear pizza lovers, raise your slices high

Let the tomato sauce stain your soul, the cheese bind your heart. For in this cheesy cosmos, we are all stardust—craving one more slice

Bon appétit, fellow cosmic travelers! 🍕✨
