It’s date night with your special someone, and you want to do something fun, but you also don’t want to go out. Instead of dealing with traffic, crowded restaurants, and expensive meals, keep it simple and make your own homemade pizza for two.
Making homemade pizza for two on date night or staycation is an excellent way to connect with your babe. Just because you are staying home doesn’t mean you can’t make it special.
It’s still date night so wear something sexy, light some candles, pour some wine, put on some music, and get creative together in the kitchen.
It’s important to make time for romance and keep the spark alive in a relationship. Carving out time together is tough, and making it special and meaningful can be a lot of pressure.
So take the pressure off and just enjoy each other. The kitchen is an excellent place to connect with your partner, and if you both love homemade pizza, then that’s a great place to start.
Obviously, you want to make the evening special and create a mood. But beyond candles and wine, how do you make it special? Well, we have a few ideas.
Take Your Romantic Pizza Outside
Nothing is more romantic than a nighttime picnic under the stars. Fire up the grill and make grilled pizzas on your patio. Set a romantic table with nice dishes and wine glasses, and enjoy your homemade pizza for two in the European al fresco style. Make your neighbors jealous with your romantic picnic for two.
Make a Specialty Personal Pizza
You can show how well you know each other by each making a personal pizza for the other with their favorite toppings. Or make them something they have never tried, so their first time trying it is with you.
If your partner likes to play, make it a game. One person wears a blindfold, and the other has to give instructions on how to make the pizza. It’s messy but fun. Then, take turns.
If your romance is on the newer side, you can ask each other the 36 questions that lead to love. If you have never heard of these famous 36 questions, they are a set of questions developed in the 1990s by psychologists Arthur Aron, Ph.D., and Elaine Aron, Ph.D., to gauge whether two people can develop an intimate connection just by talking through their answers to these questions.
This is an excellent way to get closer to your honey while you chop veggies and grate mozzarella. The entire set of questions is designed to take about 90 minutes which is the perfect amount of time to make homemade pizza for two.
Make Meaningful Homemade Pizza For Two
For couples that have some time together, you might already know everything your honey likes, and there are no surprises there. So, instead, make a pizza with toppings connecting your lives together.
If you and your babe have traveled together, try incorporating toppings from your travels to help you reminisce about all of the fun you have shared.
For example, if you have traveled to Spain, make a pizza with chorizo and drink Spanish wine. Or, if you spent time together in New York, make a New York-style pizza and watch your favorite New York gangster movie.
If you spent time in the Pacific Northwest, make a pizza with smoked salmon and oysters, and remember the time you camped near the Pacific ocean. Or make a taco pizza to remember the fun you had in Mexico. The possibilities are endless.
Be Like Shakespeare
Get creative, think of a pizza as a poem, and use symbolism. Each topping connects with something unique about your special someone.
Let us give you an example. Maybe you make a pizza with green peppers, sausage, and olives. You can tell your babe that the green peppers are for their green eyes, the spicy sausage is for their spicy hot personality, and the olives are because Ah luv U.
Let’s try another. You make a pizza with sun-dried tomatoes, chicken, and jalapeños. The red sun-dried tomatoes match her perfect red lips. The chicken is because she is your favorite chick, and the jalapeños because she lights you on fire.
We have another one for you, a pizza with pineapple, bacon, and garlic. The pineapple is because she is sweet. The bacon is because everyone loves bacon just like everyone loves her. And the garlic is because you promise to always protect her from vampires.
If this sounds too silly well, love is supposed to be fun and silly. It’s fine to be a cheesy romantic. Feeding the one you love is a love language and making pizza is about being creative. So get creative about feeding your special person.
Love is about finding the one to be silly with. Remember the old Dr. Seuss quote about how love is finding someone who is your same kind of weird.
Making pizza for date night should be a fun way to show them how much they mean to you.
Whether you are in a new relationship or an established one, a date night is the perfect way to connect, and well, homemade pizza just makes everything better.
