How sweet: pizza-loving couples can pop the question on Valentine’s Day with these pizzas shaped like Love Hearts

Pizza-loving couples can pop the question or declare their love to their other half this Valentine’s Day, with a doughy makeover of a classic romantic sweet.

In a throwback to the retro sweet shop favourite, the pizzas feature one of five romantic messages found on Swizzels Love Hearts including ‘Marry Me’ and ‘Be Mine’.

‘I Love You’ can also be ordered along with popular pet names ‘Bae’ and ‘Hun’.

Chef Ionut Zaharia at Joe & ‘Za’s in Hoxton has taken the classic margherita base topped with juicy green peppers to create the iconic messages.

Loved up pizza fans can then choose from three popular toppings including pepperoni, cherry tomatoes or black olives to form the shape of the heart.

Joe & ‘Za, has become a trendy pizza destination for its gourmet pizzas and was crowned Best Takeaway in North London at the 2017 British Takeaway Awards.

The pizzas were inspired by Just Eat data which shows that the Italian staple is the number one dish Brits order for a romantic Valentine’s night in.

Last year, according the food delivery app four pizzas were ordered every second between 6.30pm and 7.30pm on Valentine’s day.
