Pizza in teglia tonight 🍕❤️ This has been our lit Pizza in teglia tonight 🍕❤️ This has been our little tradition since my husband and I first got together. For years, Friday night meant homemade pizza, long before having a pizza oven at home was even a thing. Back then, we made pizza in teglia: a thin, super crispy pizza baked on a tray in our regular oven. Tonight we decided to go back to where it all started… but this time, there were three of us at the table. ❤️ And judging by Rosanna’s reaction, I think this little tradition might be here to stay. 😂🍕 #pizza #pizzainteglia #italiantradition #italianfood
