You must admit, there's no better feeling in the world than a warm pizza box on your lap:)\xa0\xa0Did you know the professionals cooking up your favorite pie/\xa0 have developed their own language when it comes to pizza?\xa0Tip Sag is what you get when the pointy end of your pizza starts to droop.\xa0\xa0This most often occurs with topping-heavy pies like Neapolitan-style pizzas/ \xa0 with generous helpings of fresh mozzarella piled on top!

Pizza chefs often refer to anchovies as guppies or smellies.\xa0The terms penguin food and carp are also heard in some pizza kitchens.\xa0Mutz is simply a quicker way of saying mozzarella and slices of pepperoni are often called flyers reportedly because of the way they are tossed around on top of the pizza like Frisbees.\xa0But be careful with a pizza that\u2019s loaded with toppings or you could experience an avalanche.\xa0 \xa0An avalanche is what occurs when all the toppings slide off your pizza as soon as you pick it up:)!
