Pizza Supercut Celebrates the History of Pizza in the Movies

Emerald Catron — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 21:10:46 +0000

We love supercuts, and we figure you're a human being, so you must love pizza. This video combines the best of both. It's a supercut of pizza in films. There's a little bit of swearing around the 3:22 mark. Who ever let a couple of curse words come between them and some pizza, though? We think this video's great, although it has two GLARING omissions.

Japan Goes There With Mayo Pizza

Jeremy Taylor — Sun, 20 Jan 2013 22:30:26 +0000

America’s controversial condiment just became Japan’s newest pizza topping… Even the egg-based spread’s more ardent supporters would acknowledge that there is something about the taste, color and texture of mayo that makes it dodgy companion for some foods. Pizza is probably one of those foods. Yet in Japan (a nation often described as “mayonnaise obsessed”) Domino’s is rolling out a [...]

Like so many of us have done, Ryan Hopkins made a bad decision while drunk. Unlike the rest of us, he decided to rob a Little Caesars. But the stick-up didn’t go quite the way he had (probably not) planned. It got off to a good enough start — Hopkins stumbled into a Lexington, Ken., [...]

Man Crashes Car Into Pizzeria, Orders Pizza

Jeremy Taylor — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:20:50 +0000

When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. And when life steers your car straight into a pizzeria, you order a large pie.

Luckily [...]

Pizza Hut Perfume Is an Actual Thing That Is Happening

Jeremy Taylor — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 22:15:33 +0000

Fact: everybody who isn’t a monster loves the smell of pizza. But that doesn’t mean that Pizza Hut should be making a pizza-scented perfume. Especially because their pizza is exempt from the “everybody loves the smell of pizza” clause. But they’re doing it anyway. It started (and should have ended) as a joke, when Pizza Hut [...]

On a Lighter Note, a Ridiculous Pizza Commercial

There Is a Hot Dog Stuffed Crust Pizza, Because We Aren't Fat Enough

Jeremy Taylor — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 20:03:53 +0000

In 1995, Pizza Hut introduced pizza with cheese stuffed in its crust. The innovation was an immediate hit, and suddenly more people were eating their entire slice of pizza, rather than leaving the crust.

As the years passed, Pizza Hut stuck things besides pizza--like bacon and pepperoni-- in their crust. And pizza fans were basically happy with this development.

But the pizza giant may have gone too far with their latest stuffing trick, the Hot Dog Stuffed Crust, which comes with a "free" mustard drizzle.
