🍕 Pizza

🍕 Pizza is the shorthand for a casual meal, a night in, or takeaway of any kind. It is among the most-sent food emojis worldwide and often stands in for food generally.

Works for arranging plans as much as for describing a meal.

Neapolitan pizza has been on the UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage since 2017 – what is protected is the craft of the pizzaiuolo, not the dish. The Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana prescribes dough, oven and baking time precisely.

Worldwide it became something else entirely: pineapple on pizza, unthinkable in Italy, was invented in 1962 by a Greek-born restaurateur in Canada. The argument about it remains a reliable internet conflict – in 2017 even the President of Iceland weighed in.

• 🍕🎬 – A cosy evening on the sofa.
• 🍕🥓 – Pizza and Bacon
• 🍕🥙 – Pizza with Stuffed Flatbread
• 🍕🥪 – Pizza plus Sandwich
• 🍕🍗 – Pizza and Poultry Leg
• 🍕🍔 – Pizza with Hamburger

Easy to mix up with 🥓 Bacon, 🥙 Stuffed Flatbread or 🥪 Sandwich. They look alike but do not mean the same thing – when in doubt, check the name.
