About this word search
Hawaiian pizza, with ham and pineapple, was invented in Chatham, Ontario, in the early 1960s by a Greek Canadian restaurant owner. It is not on this list, but Mozzarella, Salami and Parmesan are, along with Tiramisu, whose name means pick me up in Italian.
Pizza has a double z, which makes it easy to find. Spaghetti has a gh and a double t. Mozzarella has both a double z and a double l. Words can slant in this puzzle, but none is backwards.
On pizza night, let everyone choose three words from the list and invent a pizza with them. Lasagna and Tiramisu on a pizza is allowed, as long as you can explain it.
