Moving Day Pizza

After a very busy week arriving home late Thursday night we were on the go again on Friday. The nice thing about this traveling is we knew we would be staying at the home of parents of oldest grandbaby for two nights. Saturday was a family affair helping parents of youngest grandbaby move into their first purchased home. Whenever we get together as a family there is always good food!

Friday night we enjoyed homemade Philly cheesestakes and home canned coleslaw. I have to tell you I am really impressed with the home canned coleslaw! We mixed in Miracle Whip® so the result was very close to our favourite homemade creamy coleslaw. Even oldest grandbaby loved it!

Pizza Nova

Something about moving always says pizza and beer. Well, we got the pizza and it was really good! We got three large pizzas from Pizza Nova. This is a chain pizza restaurant in Ontario and Québec originating in Toronto, Ontario in 1963 that has grown to 120 locations. One taste of their pizza and you can see why!

The Portobellissimo (1) was topped with fresh Portobello mushrooms, hot Soppressata, and Asiago cheese. This was a definite hit! The Asiago cheese was different yet made for a very tasty pizza. The second pizza (2) was topped with pepperoni, mushrooms and bacon. The Deluxe (3) was topped with pepperoni, fresh mushrooms, green peppers, bacon, sliced tomatoes and Spanish onions. I really like this pizza. All had the classic tomato sauce. I really liked the Deluxe but then I also liked the Portobellissimo so will be making both of these versions at home.
