MidiCi The Neapolitan Pizza Company gift card giveaway

Share the love :)

I went out to lunch a few days ago to MidiCi The Neapolitan Pizza Company in Kissimmee, Florida and ordered the “Beauty and the Beets” pizza. That’s right- there is a pizza out there in the world named after ME- well, the blog. (And there are NO BEETs on this pizza).

The whole concept started when MidiCi invited eight local Orlando bloggers to an event where we designed our own pizzas. Those pizzas were then placed on the MidiCi menu during the month of February and ….ready for the really cool part? For every pizza ordered from the blogger’s menu, $2 will be donated to the charity of the blogger’s choice.

First- my pizza. I designed a pie based off of the classic Bruschetta appetizer – mozzarella, parmesan, fresh garlic, basil, roma tomatoes, olive oil, and a balsamic drizzle. Sounds delightful, yes?

Second – my charity. It’s All About the Cats is an Orlando based charity founded in early 2005 with the following mission – “To reduce the population of homeless cats by rescuing, spaying and neutering, fostering and placing cats and kittens in suitable homes.”

This is a charity very near and dear to my heart as this is where I adopted my precious Olive in 2015. One of the best decisions I have ever made.

The bloggers, their charities and pizzas are as follows:  (copied directly from an email message)

• • Annie Alvarez of AnnieAtoZ supports Wounded Warriors Project with her pizza creation. She started with our Truffle Neapolitan Pizza topped with truffle cream, fresh mozzarella, parmesan, fresh basil, extra virgin olive oil and added ricotta cheese, and fresh sliced Prosciutto di San Daniele after it’s baked.

She started with our Classic Margherita Neapolitan pizza topped with Italian tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, parmesan, fresh basil, extra virgin olive oil and added fresh grape tomatoes, garlic and a balsamic glaze swirl after it’s baked. She was inspired by a classic Bruschetta appetizer.
