I could really eat this pizza right now 😋
But I actually only eat pizza when I go to Italy so it’s usually just once a year! It’s so worth waiting for and tastes completely different to pizza in any other country.

Do you love pizza too?

🇮🇹🐶
Italy has become the first country to officially allow medium and large dogs to fly in airplane cabins instead of cargo holds. As long as the dog fits in a secure seat carrier and meets the weight requirements, they’re welcome on board. This marks a major step forward for animal welfare and could set a kinder new standard for air travel worldwide.
