London Pizza Festival

If you didn't already know 
pizza a.k.a heaven on a plate is one of our ultimates faves
we usually stick with the classics and party with pepperoni 
but its time for these strawberries to venture out of their pizza comfort zone
and where better place to experiment than
LONDON PIZZA FESTIVAL
you read that right… a pizza festival.
