HC-One’s Brierton Lodge Care Home, in Hartlepool, County Durham, has been marking National Pizza Day which takes place on Sunday, February 9.

Residents and colleagues at the HC-One care home enjoyed celebrating the fun day dedicated to one of the world’s most beloved foods – pizza.

Chef Keith Parkins created a selection of different pizzas by creating new creative sauces, dough recipes and topping combinations for residents to try from across the globe, including the Neapolitan pizza from Italy, a Sicilian-style pizza, and a New York-style slice.

Residents enjoyed the pizza masterpieces and broadened their taste buds by tasting pizzas with unconventional toppings, including pineapple and avocado to spice up their pizza dining experience.
