LONDON, ENGLAND – AUGUST 12: A woman serves pizza at ‘Agile Rabbit’, a traditional pizza restaurant in Brixton Village on August 12, 2010 in London, England. Brixton Village has enjoyed a revival over the past year with many shops that previously laid empty now home to a variety of restaurants, boutiques and galleries. This is thanks largely to a revitalization project led by the nonprofit organization ‘Space Makers Agency’ in cooperation with a local group, ‘Friends of Brixton Market’, who succeeded in getting the market listed by the Department of Culture for heritage protection. Originally the heart of London’s Afro-Caribbean community in the 1920’s and 30’s, the area is attracting a young and creative demographic bringing much needed independent businesses and projects to the arcade. Brixton Village is open daily and until 10pm on Thursdays. (Photo by Dan Kitwood/Getty Images)

Getting a heart-shaped pizza for Valentine's Day is a tradition that I've been doing since high school. First, my mom and I would always get one when we lived in Raleigh, and for the past two Valentine's Days, I have done the same thing with my now-fiance. I love them!

With January coming to an end, 'tis the season for all things heart-shaped and love-related.

That’s right, Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and whether you’re celebrating it with your boo or spending it with your roommate or by yourself, pizza makes everything better. And if it’s cooked into a heart shape? Even better.
