Pizza Cute
Pizza Mau From Flickr member hale_popoki. Earlier today we brought you a heart-shaped pizza. In keeping with the novelty pies, we now bring you a cat-face pizza, made by Flickr user Hale Popoki. The recipe for this pie and other cute, crusty critters can be found in the book Pizza Fun by Judy Bastyra.

Meanwhile, in the world of competitive dog grooming: One owner asked for a red carpet at the entrance. ("You see a dog come in on the red carpet," Grymek said, "and other dogs say, uh-oh.") Another asked for seven McDonald's cheeseburgers without onions; another wanted pizza. Some ask for cases of specific brands of bottled water, others for extra cots and pillows.

Fresh from the Another Useless Study Dept.: A new survey by the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation and Domino's Pizza suggested the pizza toppings people prefer signal the types of people who they are most compatible with romantically. For example, those who prefer more non-traditional topping combinations, such as pineapple and onion, are most romantically compatible with people who prefer similar non-traditional toppings. Our own unscientific research here at the Slice Institute for Pizza Research suggests that if your dearest doesn't like pizza at all, you should consider relationship exit strategies.

Spy Museum From Flickr member otavio_dc. Our erstwhile Queens correspondent traveled to D.C. a couple weeks ago to visit the International Spy Museum for a story on AmericanHeritage.com. Ever the sleuth, she uncovered the following pizza-related fact: The International Spy Museum claims that 10,000 members of the intelligence community work within a block of its Washington location. The number seems a little high to me; it would probably implicate everyone from bored security guards to the employees of the local pizzeria. But since the museum also reveals that 40,000 pounds of shredded documents from the National Security Agency are...What Kind of Pizza Are You?

Beaver From Flickr member Mr Lunatic Fringe. From InsideBayArea.com: HARD to believe, but Nome has just gotten its first pizza delivery business, a joint that brings gourmet pies to people's doors and even flies special orders to Bush villages hundreds of miles away. For free. It may not arrive hot, but it's all the rage in this Northwest Alaska region where Nome, with its 3,500 residents, had no food delivery options until Airport Pizza launched.

When I posted about breakfast pizza a few days ago, some of you seemed to think I was totally opposed to the idea. That's not the case. I'm sure something tasty can be pulled from the twisted collision of my favorite food and the morning meal. What I meant to convey was the suspicion that whatever the major chains come up with in this area will be bad. Given their track record with with lunch and dinner fare, it's a fair assumption.
