Not something I’d be interested in making myself, but I can certainly appreciate the nostalgia. You definitely nailed the look, lol

I’d like to see people make a complete tray like you used to get it at school. Do you want a corner piece? Do you want a centerpiece… I like school🍕

1988. Pizza day. I’m 5th in line. I’m more excited than I’ve ever been. Then I’m ripped out of line, taken out of school, and told my dad left us. Can’t wait to relive that nostalgia this weekend. Thanks, OP!

Is it really school lunch pizza if it doesn’t have the little cubes of pepperoni?
