      creative theme! i think my favorite was SAUCEALIST. i didn't realize someone could come up with this many government-based pizza puns--how did you think up this theme?

        I was making lists of pizza related things trying to find any possible puns, I wanted "pizza party" to be celebration related but had better luck with political parties! I was saying then out loud to myself hoping they came through in the fill

        Lovely theme! (Though it did give me flashbacks to reading Animal Farm in school..)
