Your kid can make pizza at Domino's right now

Your kid wants to make pizza This is adorable.

Good morning from the Forest City — yes, the other London. The one that actually matters to us. Let's get into it.

You know, there are some stories that just make you smile, make you remember what London is all about. And this one? This is prime Forest City gold. We're talking about hundreds of kids, right here in our own city, getting to go behind the counter at Domino's Pizza locations, rolling up their sleeves, and building their very own pizzas for March Break. Over at the Clarke Road spot, I hear it's been a non-stop parade of little chefs. Now, I've been covering this city for a decade, and you see a lot of things come and go, but this… this is community. This is those small, sweet moments that make London feel like the biggest small town in Canada. It's not about the big headlines, it's about the everyday joy, and honestly, a kid covered in flour and cheese? That's a good memory.

It's such a simple idea, really, but it speaks to that spirit we've got here. It's the kind of thing that makes you proud to be from London, where local businesses still find ways to connect with families beyond just ringing up a sale. Forget the BRT debates for a minute, forget the provincial politics, sometimes it's just about letting a kid live out their pizza-making dreams, right here in our neighbourhoods, from Westmount to the Old East Village. That's a Richmond Row problem for the grown-ups; for the kids, it's a slice of pure fun.
