Sudoku Pizza

20090319-sudoku-pizza.jpg

I won't pretend to understand sudoku. There's too many grids, columns, rows, and numbers to deal with. The point is to fill each of nine grids with the numbers 1 through 9 such that each column and row is filled with 1 through 9 with no repeats. See, confusing, right?

But reduce it to pizza toppings, and now you're speaking my language. The Sudoku Pizza, created by Colordoku, replaces numerals with olives, basil, potato, onion, garlic, Italian salami, zucchini, sausage, and spinach. All arranged in a sudoku pattern. [via Neatorama via Gordon]

What's puzzling about this is the lack of cheese!

Now just remove 1/2 the toppings and have your guests put them back in place before they can eat!

And Judge, if you visit the original site, you'll see that this picture is taken before the addition of the cheese. Phew!

Brilliant. I might actually be able to solve this one!!!!

Yeah JudgeFudge...I was thinking the same thing...where's the cheese?

This is too cute. My sudoku-obsessed mother would love this.

At the risk of sounding unoriginal and repetitive, brilliant. Simply f**kin' brilliant.

I'm glad I'm not the only person who doesn't understand the Sudoku--Scrabble, now then you're talkin' my gaming language.

However, I'm afraid the pizza looks even more unappetizing than the game. I think I might prefer something inspired by the Jumble. Or Candyland.

SUDOKU!!!

Greatest puzzle ever! Seriously, I do AT LEAST on sudoku per day. I'm hooked.

That's the coolest thing I have ever seen

(sorry, I'm a geek who loves pizza)

I'm glad cool2bars mentioned that the pizza wasn't finished - it's less hideous now that I realize it's not cooked.

Mooner, try the "Evil Puzzle for 17 Mar 2009" on http://uk.games.yahoo.com/sudoku.html

I love the websudoku.com "EVIL" puzzles.

I also made a meatball pizza tonight, which is pretty awesome. I used those little meatballs from Trader Joe's. Not bad at all.

Wow! This is great! I love sudoku it helps is preventing metal disorders later on in life. So I guess, if you aren't good at numbers, this can be your thing. I really think it's practical as well, I mean sometimes I get frustrated because all the toppings come on one slice of the pizza (if you buy the frozen ones or order out), and the first person to get there gets the best piece. This way everyone gets equal pieces with equal toppings and of the same size. Personally these toppings look like something I might not desire, but it's still great because you can always change up the add-ons to some more delicious treats.

Why would you want potato on a pizza?

Glad I don't work there, I should get VERY confused as to where the component parts of each square go...Do the customers actually check/care if the pizza toppings are in the right order???!

@snowmoonelk: Potato on a pizza is actually pretty good. Maybe the slices here are a bit too thick, but if you get very thinly sliced potato, it's tasty. And there are a number of respected pizzerias that do it.

Also: This is not a pizzeria's pizza. It's someone making a pizza at home.

@snowmoonelk: also, try mashed potato on a pizza sometime. it's actually pretty dope
