I owe the inspiration of this post to a Instastory by a talented person on my Instagram feed, the Modern Nonna. She created and baked a love letter using puffed pastry dough with a heart shaped piece of pastry that was cut out and used as its seal and this no doubt was baked in recognition of Valentine’s Day 2024 which is just around the corner. In my mind, it was simply a brilliant idea and super cute.

Furthermore, it is talented foodies and chefs like her and quite a few others, that have really inspired me to be as creative with my own recipes and in preparing organic, healthy, and wholesome foods that are both eye-catching and delicious too. After all, we eat first with our eyes where we are visually enticed with a craving or desire for.

Anyway, with that being said, I’ve discovered just how much fun it is to be in the kitchen where I can feel free to allow my own creative juices to also flow, and so I had fun putting together this super simple recipe which is a play and inspiration off of Nonna’s “Love Letter Pastries”— and that is these Love Letter Pizzas and both just in time to make for Valentines Day.

Wrap up your ingredients. However, do not overstuff. I chose pepperoni and mozzarella cheese and dusted with grated parmesan.

This love letter pizza here requires only 5 ingredients (sauce, two cheeses, pepperoni, and the tortilla). However, they also can be filled with ingredients of your choice. However, do not overstuff. I recommend using Hero.co brand tortillas for the job as they are large enough and super pliable enough for folding to resemble a “letter” of some sort. But if not, any large flour tortilla will likewise work regardless of the brand.

Pizza Love Letter made using Hero Tortilla and a pepperoni heart and stuffed inside with cheese and more pepperoni.

The inside of this stuffed love letter pizza has marinara for its base, followed by pepperoni and cheese which when lightly buttered will help it to seal both sides and the heart shaped pepperoni piece, giving it more of a romantic touch. So, make this easy love letter pizza recipe from the heart and share it with the one you adore.
