When you’re Italian, you know that pizza Margherita is the queen of all pizzas. So, when you’re Italian and crochet, of course, you end up with a Margherita Pizza Slice Amigurumi!
This crochet pizza has been such a fun & quick project to make.
I am now in doubt whether I want to gift these pizza slices to my older nieces who could use them as food toys, or turn them into some fun keychains and rock them like a real crochet/pizza nerd!
While I decide, I might get my crochet hook and make a few more slices. Are you going to join?

Pattern Notes
- If the pattern says “sc 2”, it means that you have to crochet 1 sc into each of the next 2 sts.
- (…) – Repeat the instruction within brackets for the indicated number of times.
- The stitch count is indicated within brackets at the end of each line of instructions.
- The pizza slice pattern is worked in the round. This means that you do not join with a sl st. Instead, you start crocheting the next round directly in the first st of the previous round.
- The mozzarella decoration is worked in rows.
