If there was one pizza to make my pizza dreams come true, this would be it.

Pizzas share a special place in my heart. And I think I can speak for most os us here and say it makes us all warm and fuzzy on the inside.

For the past few years, my husband and I have forged expensive dinners out on Valentine’s Day and spent our evening making our kitchen into a pizzeria, sipping wine and setting a blanket out for our intimate dinner in. The idea of having a delicious dinner with my main squeeze in our PJ’s and minus couples filled restaurants is always a perk. Let’s be honest, its a made up holiday anyways!

Plus why only shower your love one day a year when you can all year long? I know it sounds cheesy but hear me out.

Recently, my husband and I have tried to do more for each other. Everything from someone just unloading the dishwasher to planning a surprise date for us to enjoy. Thank you to Taylor with Food Faith Fitness for this idea! She has been a great influence on how to ‘date your husband.’   And honestly, trying to have the mindset of treating your love like Valentine’s day more often helps to keep the spark going.  Now let’s be clear. I don’t suggest blowing your budget on presents every day…forget the fluffy bear. But I will accept diamond necklaces any day…

With our special Valentine’s Day approaching, I have already started to brainstorm my pizza creation for this year. The husband never strays from his beloved BBQ Chicken with Pineapple (which he is dying for me to but on here), but I take the more classic route of olive oil brushing, spinach and a whole lotta cheese. The addition of roasted red peppers and chicken is a bonus. White pizzas, such as margarita pizzas, are perfect for those that don’t care for the traditional pizza sauce. Which I have my time and cravings for. But mostly, I just want cheese on cheese on cheese!

Whole wheat crust gives this pizza a slight nutty character. And the garlic? Think garlic breadsticks. But with the WHOLE pizza! #Winning.

A key to a stress free pizza dinner? Quick rising yeast! It creates the perfect chewy and crunchy crust. With the help of Fleischmann’s Pizza Yeast, this dough doesn’t require any rising time as you throw it into the dry ingredients, then add the liquid and on you go.

No need to let it rise? Music to this lil bakers ears.

Fontina anyone?  And heck, while we are at it, why not toss on some bacon? No explanation needed!

    the hubs and I both prefer to stay in on Valentines day, it really is a made up holiday, and crowded restaurants are highly overrated. Ill take this pizza, and PJ's with a movie any night of the year

    I love what you wrote about trying to find new ways to date your spouse. My hubby and I had our first baby a few months ago and its been tough to find time so we have to really go the extra mile to do things for each other. We've been trying to do the small things daily. Marriage is a marathon not a sprint, right? lol Anyway besides that long needless ramble....this pizza looks amazing! Pinned.

    This looks so good. Friday night is always pizza night in our house. Hubby and I snuggle on the sofa with pizza and a movie. So this is sure to be a hit. Thanks for the inspiration

    Turning V day into pizza night at home sounds like the perfect evening! We're not ones for going out for dinner as I find it's a bit over-commercialised and plus the restaurants are just going to be rammed with other couples, so we normally just snuggle up. I'm thinking that this pizza needs to become a part of our night though - fab flavour combo!
