MAMMA MIA - CARE HOME RESIDENTS CELEBRATE NATIONAL PIZZA DAY

What could be better on a cold February day? Staff and residents at Barchester’s Meadowbeck care home in York had a fantastic time celebrating National Pizza Day on February 9th, a brilliant excuse to sample lots of delicious, warming pizza!

Overseen by head chef, staff and residents experimented with many different types of toppings and flavour combinations - from the exotic, to the classic and everything in between! Some people controversially added pineapple, others preferred spicier options, and some stuck to a good old Margherita. Many people tried a folded Calzone pizza for the first time or branched out with a creamy base instead of tomato, everyone ate their fill and declared National Pizza Day a triumph!

General Manager, Annaliza kemp, said: “It wasn’t just the residents that were excited when we found out there was a National Pizza Day, the eyes of the staff lit up too! Who doesn’t love pizza? Our fantastic chef did us proud and we all had a great time trying out new flavour combinations and toppings, it was a wonderful way to warm ourselves up!”

Christine, a resident said: “I absolutely love pizza! My Husband was the one who got me into pizza one evening when we had gone out together, we didn’t have it when I was growing up but I am a total convert now. We have had loads to sample today with all kinds of different toppings, my favourite is cheese and pineapple, it was great to get our sleeves rolled up and create our own. They have all been truly delicious!”
