Eight retro pizza scenes from Sunderland's past as we mark National Pizza Day
Who is ready for National Pizza Day? It’s on its way on February 9 and we are getting into the spirit of things with 8 tasty Wearside scenes from the past.
We have a great menu of photos from Richard Avenue Primary School pupils trying out their pizza making skills to free pizzas during Clap for Carers. We have Thornhill School pupils sampling the products at the Italian Farmhouse.
And we have photos of lots of people cooking up a treat.
So what are you waiting for. Tuck in and enjoy the memories.

Four Girl Guides from the 16th Sunderland St Gabriel's pack beat all the other packs on Wearside to win a competition to create a healthy options menu, advertise it and then make it.
