If you have eaten pizza in as many different places as we have, you came across restauranteurs (or down-to-Earth pizza slingers) who served you a side of great music with your pizza pie. Just thinking about pizza can bring certain songs to mind: Dean Martin's That's Amore, Louis Prima's Che La Luna, Rosemary Clooney's Mambo Italiano, Billy Joel's Scenes from an Italian Restaurant, or even the great partisan anthem Bella Ciao (made famous by the Spanish Netflix series "Money Heist").

You do not have to be Italian to love great Italian or Italian-inspired music, Italian wine, or pizza. They are universal. Sure, the people who grew up with a nonna who toiled over Sunday gravy (recipe?! who needs a recipe!) while singing along to Louis Prima probably get a little catch in their throats when the music and the marinara are served together.

We would love to know your favorite pizza-related songs, especially if they come with a great story or a solid pizza recommendation. So, please post them in the comments (remember to subscribe first)!

To help you to remember your favorite songs, we want to connect or re-connect you with some delicious music to eat and/or make pizza by. So, grab someone you love and a bottle of Chianti, turn down the lights, throw your homemade pizza in the oven or dial up a pizzeria for delivery, and enjoy these pizza-connected playlists from Spotify.
