Welcome back to Song and a Slice, our music + food video series where musicians play a song and then make a pizza. In this installment, we’re thrilled to host singer/songwriter Gina Miles, the winner of season 23 of NBC’s hit reality TV singing competition The Voice, under the tutelage of coach Niall Horan.
Gina played her upcoming single “As I Am,” (written with The Fray’s Isaac Slade), and then helped make a custom pizza, “The Fontina Miles/The Fungi-na Miles,” a white pizza pie with fontina cheese, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, and basil. Not only were the songs great, but the pizza might’ve been the best Song and a Slice pizza yet. On top of all that, Gina–who’d never made pizza before–made the best-looking pizza any artist has made so far in this series.
Check out the songs–including bonus song “Hey Stranger”–and the pizza making, as Gina discusses her songwriting, her favorite pizza shop in her hometown of Paxton, Illinois, and the one topping she can’t abide on a pizza.
