If there's anything more irritating than someone taking your food after they said they didn't want any, we have yet to experience it.

And while the rest of the internet is currently lolling all over this girl's reaction to her boyfriend nabbing a bit of her pizza, we're with her on this one.

Having sat down to a slice in Pizza Boli's in Maryland, De'ja Davis was riled to the max when her boyfriend of two years, Dee Breezy, decided to get a little handsy with her lunch.

In a rant that can only be described as epic, De'ja schools her fella on the rules when it comes to other people's food.

"I shared my chicken with you. Not my pizza, she said. "I offered to get you something! It's MY pizza! Take this. I'll get another pizza."

And in one seriously ill-advised move, Dee went and shared his girl's hangry rant on Twitter, but Deja wasn't taking it lying down.

Responding to the footage he shared of her mini meltdown, Deja did what any self-respecting girlfriend would do – she laid it out in black and white, explaining exactly why her BF was out of line.

"Let me just say this…It wasn't about me not sharing because I always give you stuff," she began. "I just got that pizza and if you wanted just a little piece of it I could've gotten you your own."

"You plotted on getting my food when you knew I was hungry," she accused. "Let's go back to when I said I wanted carry out and you recommended pizza bolis so you knew what you were gonna do before we ever got there."

"All I'm asking is that next time you just be honest and say 'De'ja. I am starving like a homeless pig, can you spare me a slice," she pleaded.

"Now people think I'm all crazy when I'm not, I'm just really serious about my food."

De'ja, we got you.

Rihanna fans received a number of surprises at her Manchester gig last night and among them was one of our favourite things – free pizza!

As fans waited in the pouring rain outside the Emirates Old Trafford stadium, 20 mysterious pizza-filled boxes arrived at the scene – some of which were emblazoned with Rihanna's own signature – along with some dry towels for wet fans.

Naturally the receivers of the gifts couldn’t wait to share the news of what’d happened and took to social media to celebrate the experience.

But as great as pizza and towels are, that's not all Rihanna treated fans to last night as the star put on a seriously steamy performance with none other than her ex-boyfriend Drake.

While singing Work as part of Ri-Ri's Anti World Tour, Drake reportedly couldn’t keep his hands off the megastar and even began kissing her neck live on stage.

Once again fans went into total meltdown with one Twitter-user writing: "I can't believe I've just seen two of my faves grinding on each other. Please make babies @rihanna @Drake."

Earlier this week the pair sparked rumours that they were back on as they both waited until the very wee hours of the morning to leave Nicole Scherzinger’s birthday bash at Tape nightclub in London.

And – according to the Daily Mail – back in May it was claimed the pair had been “secretly dating for months” after they put on another suggestive performance at a concert in LA. 

Between pizza and Drake we're excitedly awaiting the Diamonds singer's next move.

We love pizza. In fact, we love it so much we'd go to great lengths to get it. But, not as great as this man.

Paul Price is a cyber-security expert from the UK and when feeling hungry (or hangry, who knows) one day, he used a simple tech trick to fool the pizza company into giving him free food.

He successfully ordered an 'Americano' pizza with extra pineapple and hot dog stuffed crust, a portion of chicken strippers and a tub of chocolate chip cookie ice cream straight to his door without having to pay for it.

Paul managed to fiddle with the Domino's app so it didn't process any card payment at the end of his order.

But after feeling a little guilty, he decided to pay for the meal when it came to his door.

"I told the delivery driver there must have been a mistake with the order as I never entered any card details and wanted to pay with cash," Paul admitted on his blog.

"He happily left with £26 and my conscience was clean."

Well, we all love pizza and honestly, we'd have it everyday if we could. 

But when money is tight, or you want to lose a few inches, then pizza is not a good option. *Sob*. 

But, behold, a pizza dough that only has two ingredients, is super easy, and won't ruin your bank account.

We know it sounds too good to be true, but with this recipe, you'll have the perfect pizza in no time:

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cup of self-raising flour
  • 1 cup non fat Greek yoghurt

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 200*C and as it heats, combine flour and yoghurt.

2. Sprinkle some flour on your tabletop first, then place your dough ball on the table and knead with hands. Knead for about 8 minutes. 

3. Spread dough on grease-proof paper and apply any ingredients you fancy.

4. Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust has puffed up and is lightly golden. 

And there you have it! It can now be your party piece.

We all know when sharing a pizza, it can be really annoying when your friend grabs the BIG slice and you're left with the small, measly slice that only has one pepperoni.

Well, mathematicians, Joel Haddley and Stephen Worsley from the University of Liverpool in London have found a way that will cut your pizza into 12 equal and beautiful slices. 

Known as the monohedral disc telling method (yes, sounds strange to us too), you have to cut six pieces into a curvy star-shape from the centre, and then halve those pieces. 

So, it turns out looking like this:

To be honest, it sounds mega complicated to us, and we rather just have a whole pizza to ourselves. But fair play to the lads for figuring it out. They must really love pizza.

Every Christmas, there is a flurry of gingerbread house being made, all in competition to be the very best.

But this gingerbread house beats them all… and it's not even made of gingerbread. Nope ladies, this house is made out of PIZZA. 

The masterpiece was made by Thrillist, Carrie Dennis and instead of cookies, she made pizza walls, a pizza garden and even a pepperoni roof.

Honestly, we think we'll try to make this one at home tonight!

We have eaten enough pizza in our time that we probably don't even need a degree in it. 

But, the fact that you now CAN get a degree in it, is pretty great. 

The Manchester Metropolitan University has teamed up with Pizza Hut to conceive an apprenticeship programme for a lucky 1500 students in the coming years. 

The degree will cover everything from financial analysis to food production. 

And we reckon there would also be a lot of pizza tasting. For educational purposes of course. 

And according to Pizza Hut's director of HR, this course will teach more than just making pizza. 

"Over the next few years, we will work hard to provide our apprentices and team members with the best training and development so that we can equip them with skills for life, not just for working in a restaurant."

We support anyone who wants a degree in pizza because pizza equals pure happiness.

Why bother spending all of your college years learning about pi when you can learn about delicious pizza. 

An English university has just announced that it is are offering 1,500 students the chance to take an apprenticeship with Pizza Hut.

The Manchester Metropolitan University course will run over the next five years, with some students studying the cheesy course in the university and others going to an actual Pizza Hut restaurant.

But how to nail the perfect pizza isn't the only thing on the students curriculum. The course will also focus on food production and financial analysis​, according to the Manchester Evening News.

"Over the next few years we will work hard to provide our apprentices and team members with the best training and development so that we can equip them with skills for life, not just for working in a restaurant," said Pizza Hut MD, Kathryn Austin.

Pizza is a great thing! People love pizza so much they created perfectly pizza slice shaped pockets to carry it around with them wherever they go.

Cold pizza might not be the thing that dreams are made of, but you can't deny this is a sign that our collective obsession with the food is here to stay. 

Unfortunately too much of it can be a not so great thing, as much as we try to convince ourselves otherwise.

We often hear people saying that they’re trying to cut out the amount of carbs they consume. What they should be more concerned about is eating the right type of carbohydrates.

So, if you are trying to leave the stodgy carbs behind but have suddenly become consumed by cravings do not fear. 

We found the exact recipe you need.

This pizza has a quinoa crust that is high in protein and fibre, and is also naturally gluten free. So next time you start lusting after some takeaway pizza, you will know what to do. 

Ingredients

3/4 cup uncooked quinoa
1/4 cup water, plus more for soaking quinoa
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
Cooking spray

Method

Place the quinoa in a small bowl and cover it with water. Let the quinoa soak overnight or for at least 8 hours. Drain and thoroughly rinse the quinoa (this will prevent any bitterness in the crust). Place the quinoa, 1/4 cup water, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Process until a smooth batter is formed, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the food processor as necessary. 

Line an 8 or 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and then spray the parchment paper with cooking spray. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth.

Bake the crust for 15 minutes at 220 degrees. Remove the parchment paper from under the crust.Flip the crust over and return to the oven for 5-10 more minutes, or until golden and the edges are crispy.

Remove from the oven and add sauce, cheese, and toppings of your choice. Return to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes,so the cheese is melted and delicious

Cut the pizza into four wedges (or just one giant slice) and enjoy!

Now, go forth, and eat pizza.

Eating pizza. Every day. And losing weight.

Quite literally our dream life… and now one woman has proved it IS a possibility. Well, at least in the short-term.

Writer Charlotte Palermino took one for the team recently when she agreed to eat only pizza for seven whole days, to see if a restrictive diet of any kind could lead to weight loss.

As with any other kind of "cleanse," Cosmopolitan reporter Charlotte also cut out alcohol and sugar, though she did allow herself to drink coffee. Phew.

Her rules? No fake cauliflower pizza bases of ANY kind – dough only, people. Plus, each pizza had to have some kind of cheese or topping, plus an oil or sauce. 

With an average "slice count" per day of around ten, you'd be forgiven for thinking poor Charlotte would be struggling to get into her jeans by the end of the week.

But, to the contrary, she had actually dropped 5 lbs.

"My cleanse was a 'success,' if you could call it that," Charlotte wrote

"Don't hate me, but I lost 5 pounds. I slimmed down not because pizza is some undiscovered super food, but because I was actually consuming fewer calories."

Her energy might not have been coming from the most nutritious of sources, but, as we learnt in Junior Cert Science, to lose weight you need to use up more calories than you take in.

Of course, there were a few cons.

As you'd expect after subsisting only on pizza, Charlotte said she did feel quite bloated and constipated midway through the cleanse, as well as suffering from heartburn and a few mood swings.

Our verdict? Pizza is great and all, but probably not the great dieting secret of the 21st century.

You can think twice if you think your love for grilled cheese is just a random quirk!

Apparently, our food habits say a lot about who we are, with subtle differences in taste dictated by our upbringing. 

Scientists are increasingly linking our food preferences with our personality traits, so if you want to find out what your love for chocolate means, read on:

If you love grilled cheese…

You're seductive, charitable and worldly. 

Research carried out by dating site, Skout, quizzed 4,600 people on their diet, bedroom habits and lifestyle and what they found out was quite interesting.

The survey found that 81 percent of cheese lovers donate time, money or food to those in need. And 84 percent enjoy travelling compared to only 78 percent of people who don't like cheese. 

And if you love a cheddar toastie in the evening, it also means you have a good time in the bedroom! They discovered that 73 percent of cheesy people have sex at least once a month, compared to only 63 percent of non-cheese lovers. 

 

If you love chocolate…

You're selfless and good-natured.

A study carried out by the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that people with a sweet tooth tend to have sweeter dispositions.

The research found that those who like chocolate are more likely to volunteer to help another person. They're also more agreeable and even-tempered than those without a sweet tooth.

 

If you love pepperoni pizza…

You're extroverted and argumentative

A survey from the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation tested 500 adults on their preferred pizza topping. 

The results found that people who like pepperoni on their pizza thrive when they're the centre of attention and are more likely to be extrovert than those who like other toppings.

They are also more likely to be argumentative and procrastinators, while those who like chicken as a topping are likely to be driven, assertive and competitive. 

 

If you love curry…

You're a risk-taker.

Research by the University of Grenoble found that people who like spicy food are more likely to be financial, sexual and behavioural risk-takers. 

Spice-lovers are also seen to be daring and adventurous and prove to work better in intense situations. 

 

If you love ice-cream…

You're impulsive and idealistic.

If you're partial to vanilla ice-cream, you're likely to be dynamic and idealistic.

Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation used various tests to determine that ice-cream lovers are impulsive and rely on intuition more than logic. They are also seen as more emotionally expressive and work better in close relationships.
