Your OC just won a free pizza with toppings of their choice! What will toppings will they have? 🍕

(answer for as many OCs as you like)

Thank you for this!

Naturally the van Rossums, my dysfunctional-90's-esque-trophy-power-couple, would never be caught dead eating something as vulgar as pizza in front of each other...but what about when they're left to their own devices?

Johannes spends a fair amount of his time in his Bridgeport office, on long calls with @lesmana-enterprise-ltd trying to secure them permits to build in Willupette County, writing lengthy emails to the Calico Club telling them not to let supernatural Sims get a membership, and trying to slide into Lily Feng's DMs. Sometimes, he gets a craving for the kind of greasy goodness that the salad restaurant lower down in his building just can't provide, and so his go-to pizza joint is Pizza 83, a highbrow ristorante that serves his favourite: Anchovies, white sauce, and purple sprouting broccoli, all doused in the house's signature Truffle Oil.

Maëlle was educated in a finishing school in Tartosa like her mother and grandmother before her, but years of her father losing money on the Twinbrook Knubb circuit meant she was comparatively poor and unfashionable compared to her wealthy classmates, who never let her forget it. One of the only good memories she has of her time at the school is when her flower-arranging teacher, Mary Delarosa, noticed her crying and bought her a pizza from a local parlor. Maëlle likes simple, high-quality ingredients, and when Johannes is away on business, she'll sometimes pass the time by ringing up local Evergreen Harbor takeaways and asking if they have San Marzano tomato sauce, fiordelatte mozzarella, and a few fresh basil leaves. The answer is always the same: 'Lady, are you high?!'
