Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

It’s hard to believe that Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Many of us may have celebrated Valentine’s Day for years by going out for a nice dinner, but the pandemic is changing those plans. Thankfully, many pizza chains are stepping up to the plate and helping us with some heart-shaped pizza. It’s a delicious way to say “I love you” to your sweetheart.

Although any pizzeria should be able to create a heart-shaped pizza for you, there are some who are ahead of the curve and offering it already. Here are some of the different restaurants you can choose if you happen to live in the right area. Of course, you can always use them as inspiration to make your own or to challenge your favorite pizzeria to do the same.

Amish Door Village – If you happen to live in Wilmont, Ohio, then Valentine’s Day will be a little saucier, thanks to this heart-shaped pepperoni pizza. The order should be placed by February 11 and you can pick up the pizza on February 13. They will cost $13.99 for those who want them.

Buca di Beppo – This Italian restaurant has locations throughout the United States, from Florida to New York and even in Hawaii. If you order some items to go on February 14, then a free heart-shaped pizza is yours for the taking.

Unfortunately, you can’t mix-and-match discounts or offers. One heart-shaped pizza is available per order and dine-in customers, banquets, and catering will not be able to receive this deal.

California Pizza Kitchen – You don’t have to live on the West Coast to enjoy what CPK has to offer. In 2021, they are offering their “Sweet Deal” package once again. You can take advantage of it between February 12-16 for $35. It will give you one appetizer, two entrées, and a dessert. Any thin crust pizza they offer can be made heart-shaped during that time.

Giordano’s – This chain may be based in Chicago but they are willing to ship their deep dish, heart-shaped pizzas to any location in the United States. The pizzas are frozen, about 10 inches, and will serve up to three people.

You can also pick up the pizzas at their restaurant on February 12-13th.

Papa John’s – Between February 8-14, customers in select locations can order a heart-shaped pizza from Papa John’s.
