Food Fight! Pizza and Taco: Who's the Best? by Stephen Shaskan
Taco spots his top pal, Pizza, (with whom he shares a lot of toppings). Taco overshoots their high five and takes a tumble!
"I'm okay!" says Taco. "I'm just glad to see you! You're my best friend We are... BEST BESTIES!"
They do their Besties routine:
BIG JUMP!
FIST BUMP!
BUTT BUMP!
They agree they are better buddies than Hamburger and Hot Dog. But then Pizza gets a bit hot under his pepperoni, pointing out that only ONE of them can be THE best! They toss slogans at each other.
"MELTY CHEESE! SLICE OF LIFE!" shouts Pizza.
"TASTY BEEF" SPICY!" Taco yells back.
Pizza shouts that HE is the best. He demands a vote! But Pizza tries to cheat on the ballot count, and Taco takes over. The vote is a tie! Pizza demands a trial by Waterslide at the Water Park. Pizza wins the belly-whopper heat, and Taco takes the backsie heat. But if they are both the best--
"What is the true...: says Pizza "...meaning of the best?..." asks Taco.
BEST FRIENDS! they shout together. BIG JUMP! FIST BUMP! BUTT BUMP! font-size: large;"YAY!
Stephen Shaskan's Pizza and Taco: Who's the Best?
(Random House, 2020) is the latest entry in the growing graphic novel genre for middle readers, this one starring fast food friends Taco and Pizza and their foodie frienemies Hamburger and Hot Dog, as the menu rivals work out their pecking order. Edible characters like those in the best-selling Peanut Butter and Jelly (A Narwhal and Jelly Book 3)
have been popular and Pizza and Taco are jolly comic cartoon characters in this likable new series. “YAAAS! This lunch bunch serves pure silliness,” says Kirkus Reviews.And for more of the YUM CHUMS, Shaskan has a sequel. Pizza and Taco: Best Party Ever!

“Have to say, West has completely changed my life. He’s is a life saver I can’t say enough. For the first time in my life I can say I have great credit. He has educated me; I sell cars so you would think I would know about this stuff but I didn’t. In the beginning I found them because of reading the reviews. They are worth every penny. So if you’re thinking about it, contact HACKWEST AT WRITEME DOT COM. Extremely helpful throughout the whole process. I’m still seeing results. Thanks again WEST for getting those collections, judgement and inquiries off my credit report.”
