    Pizza cones

    Pizza, in the form of a cone, is officially a thing! What could be better than a pizza-dough cone filled with melty cheese and your favourite toppings (or, now, fillings)? We can report that, although a little unorthodox, pizza cones are a trend that is hard to beat – try making these a snack for the kids or for your next drinks party… they are ideal to eat with a glass of red wine in your other hand!
