I consider Pittsburgh as my hometown in US because it was where we arrived in US from India. We spent three wonderful years full of firsts; first snow fall, first snow storm, first time assembling the furniture for our house from Ikea, first of lot of things.
And Pittsburgh is a sports town, Steelers is THE team, they all route for. Naturally we couldn’t escape the enthusiasm of locals and now we are also turned into full-fledged, The Terrible Towel waving, Steelers flag in front of the house kind of fans.
Last year was particularly exciting for us Steelers fans. The rookie quarterback brought the team almost to the finals. I could have prepared ‘Roethlis-berger’ in his honor for last years wonderful play, alas I am not a meat eater.
So instead I prepared our favorite game party food – Pizza, for this month’s sport theme party hosted by lovely Stephanie of Dispensing Happiness. Not any pizza but a pizza resembling the Steelers logo and wishing for a season of Steelers super bowl.
Steelers Pizza:
This Pizza is made with a basic white dough base, flavored with tomato sauce and topped with mozzarella and goat cheese and also roasted yellow and red bell peppers and olives.
Our lunch today:)-
Oh, my god!
Indira? I love you!
I was raised on Steelers football…I absolutely love this pizza! Brilliant.
Thanks for joining in!

Oh, to be so lucky…I was six the last time the Steelers got a SuperBowl ring!
I remember kids at elementary school wearing t-shirts emblazoned with a caricature of Mean Joe Green, with the caption ‘one for the thumb’…Pittsburgh had won four titles, but never did get that fifth.
Wow…that’s a *long* time!

Nice pizza Indira. We are seeing a lot of enthusiasm even though it is just the beginning, after the good last season. But somehow I don’t understand the game and I am unable to muster as much enthusiasm as hubby.

Stephanie..They could have won the 5th ring last year, lot of momentum and new blood. Just missed a great opportunity. Love to see them play atleast as good as last year or even better.
Mika..I am not crazy about baseball & basketball, but football I like the game and I watch almost all steelers games. Winter timepass for me.
Nupur..I just tried to recreate Steelers logo.
Thanks for your encouragement :)-

Gina..I tried booing the Patriots but I couldn’t, they are so good, decent and very driven. I was happy that they won the Superbowl last year.
