Bit of a silly poem about food… No deep-and-meaningfuls here, just a lot of food… 
Pizza
Cheese. It’s all about the cheese.
And the gory tomato sauce,
so hot you blister your tongue
on those first few gorging
mouthfuls of diet-blowing bliss.
You can’t resist. You get stuck in.
Mushrooms and mozzarella
slopping down your chin.
Deep pan decadence or thin.
Garlic-slicked fingers ripping,
lustful, even for the crusts,
herb butter stuffed for dipping.
Toppings piled and spilling.
Perfect pepperoni polkadots.
Pineapple, ham, spicy chicken.
Salty anchovies – love or hate.
Jalapenos kick a feisty bite.
Smoked rashers lashed across.
But in the end, every single time,
it’s the essential magic that binds.
Continental or British. Smoked
or goat’s. Feta, Edam, Roquefort.
A pungent bit of blue or sneaky brie.
It’ll always be all about the cheese.
Ah … nothing beatsa slice of pizza
Mmmmm…. It was about time I revisited the food poems…
Mmmm. Just had that for dinner last night…But for me, it’s got to have onions!
Yum. Love onions. I think my favourite (currently) is a garlic mushroom pizza with plenty of red onions, cheese and olives…
By the way David – where’s your blog gone? I’ve noticed I can’t click on it from your comments.
Really? I don’t know, I’ll have to check into that.
Yeah, it’s weird – your name’s just in black and not a link and I can’t access you via the comments page either. Which is a shame as I’d like to pay you a visit! (Your page I mean – not carrying on from the stalker poem! lol)
Unless youre vegan like my daughter, who eats cheese free pizzas!!! Lol
Great fun this one Holly

I’ve heard of vegan cheese, but I guess that’s not always available. I don’t eat a lot of meat, so could probably go vegetarian fairly easily, but I don’t think I could give up dairy.
I agree. Cheese is everything. Now I want pizza.
Can’t go wrong with cheese… Thanks for reading Laurie.
I saw a tv ad the other week about the amount of fat in a standard pizza. I love pizza, but after seeing over half a wine glass full of fat, I shall not be eating one again in the near future. But due to this delicious slice of pizza worship, I am left craving a pizza, just a slice, please
Eww! Yes, that would put me off rather too. I guess at least this is just a virtual one…
dang…i havent had dinner yet…this is so unfair….smiles…so delicious…nothing like a good pie….and some of the best i ever had was at this place just off broadway in new york…mmmm….
Mmmmm… sounds good. You guys across the pond definitely know how to do good pizza I hear! Hope you get something tasty for dinner after reading this!
Yummy Pizza, with anchovies the best and then Pavlova for dessert! My favourite meal…I’ll be thinking about it all day now…
Oooh, a fellow lover of anchovies…
I think pizza is the universal comfort food. Sometimes a person just has to indulge!
I think so too.
Love this – fun and now my mouth is watering – I want pizza! Lol
Thanks Gretchen.
“those first few gorging
mouthfuls of diet-blowing bliss”
I know, right?! I hate you for writing this poem.
Pizza is totally my weakness. 
Lol! Ah, go on then…
Mouth watering.
Loved your poem.
Thank you!
One would almost have to light-up after that and I don’t smoke!
Lately, I’ve been making a three-cheese with caramelised onions and chorizo…
I prefer making my own, something to do with quality control or perhaps just being cheap!
Oh that sounds delicious Lea!
Gotta have the cheese, Holly, and this was very clever and I felt had a very “deep dish” meaning!
Hugs!
Deep dish meaning – I like that!
I love this poem, Hollyanne, you do entice the reader with mouthwatering visuals. Now, I like the others want pizza.

I should get advertising rights for this!
For me, it’s always about the cheese – the best snack, supper, lunch, even breakfast on occasion. I like it plain, on bread, with grapes and apples, with crackers, melted in pizza, in fondue, gratin…. I could go on and on. Maybe we should write together an Ode to Cheese?!
What a collaboration!
The cheese and 30 mins or free…!
Oh yes – that always helps!
Descriptions created a mouth-watering image! I’m loving your poem, and forever loving good-old-pizza <3
Thanks very much – I have a feeling there will have been a few extra pizzas eaten after reading this and I’m very happy about that!
