One of my family's favorite exhibits at the Children's Museum of Idaho is the Idaho Pizza Company's little pretend pizza shop. The kids love making their own pizzas and I love the chance to sit down and pretend to order from the cute wait staff. But every single time we enjoy this area I leave craving pizza! You too?
Well the other day our family grabbed some pizza from Idaho Pizza Company and I asked on Instagram what your family's go to pizza take out was. I rounded up all your answers below! Prepare to be hungry...
