National Pepperoni Pizza Day with a Friend

Today is National Pepperoni Pizza Day — and what better way to celebrate than to share it with a friend?

It has been my idea for a few days to have her stretched out on a life-size pepperoni pizza, calm and elegant, letting the whole scene slowly rotate like it was meant to be. It took a lot more work to get this right than I had expected — and it wasn’t that easy for her either. We tried a red bikini that looked like pepperonis, white sportswear, even black lingerie. Getting her on the pizza itself was also a challenge to make it look good.

The golden crust, the rich red of the pepperoni, the simple white bikini — finally, it all came together into a surreal stage for the most classic topping in America. Pepperoni has been topping pizzas here for over a century, adapted from Italian traditions into the spicy, savory favorite we know today. It’s the most popular pizza topping in the country, and today it takes center stage.

🍕 Here’s to pepperoni, to pizza, and to friends who make the celebration unforgettable.

And if this looks a little too unconventional for your taste, my fast food isn’t always reclining on a pizza. You can find plenty of it standing tall, stacked high, and straight from the bag in my gallery “Food From Bag to Background” — right here:
