When I was a kid, every Friday was pizza night. We would either order pizza from any of the nearby delivery places or, my favorite, make our own pizza. My mom would make the dough, spread it out on the cookie sheet, and let my sister and I go to town with the toppings. I would painstakingly place the pepperoni on the dough (too much is gross, not enough is, like, WHY BOTHER, there is a VERY SPECIFIC RATIO) and try not to gag as my sister sprinkled on the mushrooms (which I would later pick off, once the pizza was cooked).I've since rethought my stance on mushrooms, but I still love making my own pizza. I mean, I love pizza PERIOD, and we routinely order it, but lately we've been making our own, too. Pizza Fridays are making a comeback. And the best part is, unlike Pizza Fridays when I was a kid, I can drink beer now.
I can't find any pictures of pizza and beer in my own collection but here's a picture I stole from the internet:

Friday night is pizza night! Yes! When I was married, we would often make pizza at home and watch all the sci-fi programs on TV. I'm not a beer-drinker, but I had my fair share of margaritas, which go REALLY WELL with pizza, by the way.
I used to dislike pizza when I was a little girl. It was probably a combination of the tomato sauce (I later found out I was allergic/sensitive to tomatoes) and the inferior canned cheese we used for topping, which didn't actually melt. In other words, it wasn't very good pizza. Fortunately, I was exposed to delicious pizza in the US, and have been a fan ever since.
Ooh, yes to margaritas. I also like wine with pizza, but not as much as beer.
Beer + Pizza is ALMOST as good as Beer + Burritos!
Wait, you can't find any pictures of pizza + beer in your own photos?? Jennie, I have never been so disappointed. Make pizza and open a beer IMMEDIATELY so you can fix this!
Well, I'm not saying the picture doesn't exist in my collection, just that I was too lazy to look for it. Hee. I would seriously pay someone to go through my Flickr stream and tag and organize my photos.
I'll do it! That would be fun, and I would get to look at lots of pictures of you, whom I find to be lovely. Also, I think the pizza you make might be more delicious than any other pizza.
Joe, you are so much better than even Mr. Darcy.
*sigh* Joe, you are dreamy.
Friday night was pizza night at my house, too! We watched Lady and the Tramp and ate pizza every Friday night for three years, and the only reason we stopped was because of TGIF, so it was pizza and TGIF after that. I haven't had pizza in MONTHS.
TGIF! That was the best part of Pizza Friday when I was a kid. Pizza + Boy Meets World is almost as good as Pizza + Beer.
