Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best pizza pun for a caption?

"You've got a pizza my heart" is the most recognised, but "Just here for the slice" performs better as a caption because it's short and doesn't get truncated.

Can I use these on a menu or sign?

Yes. "In crust we trust" and "Slice, slice baby" are common on pizzeria chalkboards and work well in large type.
