Birthday Greetings on Pizzas


One day at the office, my colleague had a birthday. This coworker of mine didn’t really have a lot of budget to treat the whole office to some snacks so the plan was to treat only her close friends.
 
Now one of my other colleagues ordered pizza for the celebrant since he saw that there were only few variety of snacks. Now it is customary for celebrants to at least have a cake and blow candles but this particular officemate of mine didn’t have any cake.
 
So when the pizza arrived I thought to myself that there should be a way to put greetings on pizzas!
 
Birthday Cakes for me are a bit overrated these days. The celebrant actually doesn’t eat them all and specialty cakes are astronomically expensive now. And it’s all for the sake of sending a greeting that you could also say it yourself but thought it would be better if you write it on a cake.
 
So I wondered what if pizza could be used as a substitute to greet someone since I believe us yuppies would prefer Pizza over Cakes because the former can make you full while the latter would just give you stomach ache if you eat too many. And besides that, cakes are full of sugar that is why diabetics are guarded in eating them.
 
While pizza is a more complete food. It has bell pepper, onions, salami, pineapple, cheese, tomato, olives, ham, bacon, in some cases there also parsley. Hence, it would have protein, calcium, vit A, B, C, fiber, etc. It is also not deep fried so the oil is only minimal.
 
 Pizza restaurants should recognize the fact that people buy pizzas when they celebrate something. And I think they can help hype the celebration when they put greetings on pizzas.
 
But how to put greetings is one question. I was thinking of putting it on the edges (crust) and by using cream cheese, they can write the greetings neatly. Another possible way is by using bell peppers as lettering for the pizza.
