Pizza-disiac? Aphro-pizziac?

As delicious and sexy as it is, does pizza really need any embellishments to further spice it up? U.K. supermarket chain Iceland thinks it does and so is developing an aphrodisiac pizza. This, according to CNN.

"Food has long been associated with the art of seduction so we're combining romance with one of the most widely enjoyed foods in the U.K.," said Iceland's Steve Sweeney in a press release.

The grocer is calling it "Pizzagra." We'll see how long that lasts before Pfizer gets a piece of that action.

CNN goes on to say: "The Pizzagra will contain items the company says are 'renowned for their ability to lift the libido in both men and women including artichoke, asparagus, ginger, chocolate and banana.'"

Yeah ... uh, hope that Pizzagra works out for ya, Iceland: I can't speak for the other Slice staffers, but the whole pizza-is-sexy thing doesn't seem to play too well with the ladies. Maybe you lads across the pond will have a better go with it.

We will concede that Iceland is a great name for a supermarket, though. Totally cool.
