I could probably eat pizza every night for a month and not get sick of it. Especially the homemade kind. We have this slick pizza oven that fits in our barbecue with a stone interior. Once it heats up it’s like having an authentic wood burning pizza oven. A bunch of our neighbours now have them too. They come with a “peel” which is the long handled giant spatula for loading, turning and unloading the pizza.

Add a few veggies to the stew and you’ve got a complete meal.
