Turns out he had opened it upside down and saw only the bottom. Tosser. [via Daily Fork]...Freschetta Frozen Pizzas Shrinking?
Nobody's Business According to photojournalist and freelance writer Rogier van Bakel, Freschetta has downsized its frozen pizzas from 11 inches to nine inches. If I know my pie pi, that means the pizza's surface area has gone from 95 square inches to just under 64 square inches. That's a third less. And at least at our grocery store, the retail price of the damn thing has actually gone up. Given the fact that this is Freschetta we're talking about, the shrinkage might be a good thing....'Top Chef' Contestant Fabio Viviani Spokesman for New Frozen Pizza Line
The blog YumSugar reports that Top Chef Season 5's Fabio Viviani will be hawking a new line of frozen pizzas: ...Dr. Oetker, one of Europe's top frozen pizza brands, is launching its Ristorante line in America and has called on the reality TV personality to be the spokesperson for the thin-crust pizza. "We feel Fabio is the perfect voice for the brand," Dr. Oetker USA said in a statement. "He has an incredible personality and a real passion for cooking." Anyone had Dr. Oetker frozen pizzas? What can we expect? Will they make me give up my Totino's pizzaritos? Related...How to Make a Pizzarito
"Did you know you can roll up those Totino's and eat them like a burrito?" asked Greenolivemedia in response to an earlier post on Slice. My response, the ever-so-calm "NO! WTF! THAT IS AWESOME." You know I had to try it, so I did. Step-by-step photos, after the jump....Wall Street Journal (Sorta) Does the Math: Delivery vs. Frozen Pizza
©iStockPhoto.com/lvinst When I first clicked through to this link on the Wall Street Journal site about the cost of delivery vs. frozen pizza, I thought there'd be some interesting numbers and an illuminating conclusion regarding DiGiorno's ad campaign touting the cheaper price of frozen pies. But, alas, "The Numbers Guy" doesn't really break it down for us. It comes out to a he-said-she-said piece in which chain pizzerias tout their selling points while a Kraft spokeswoman maintains that DiGiorno pizzas are still cheaper. The chain-pizza party line: Added Chris Sternberg, of Papa John’s, in an email, “With delivered pizza,...Cool Video: The BBC Goes Inside a Frozen-Pizza Factory in Ireland
The BBC has a fascinating video inside a frozen pizza factory in Naas, Ireland. It's amazing how few people are needed to run the place, which turns out 2 million pizzas a week. It's all very Laverne & Shirley intro, minus the wacky charm of human beings. When the pizza "bases" are topped with to-mah-to sauce, it'll sort of remind you of the Play-Doh Mop Top Hair Shop. And the pepperoni stick machine—looks sort of like some octomonster has been caught in a trap. [via Tien Mao]...How Long Would the Large Hadron Collider Take to Defrost a Pizza?
The Large Hadron Collider site. It looks like a big pizza. Scientific American figures it out: According to an old Cosmic Variance post, the power of one of the LHC's proton beams at full energy is 10 trillion watts (TW). (A watt is a joule of energy per second.) A household microwave produces 500 to 1000 watts of power. Let's call it 700 watts. And defrosting a frozen pizza takes about six minutes*. So that's 700 joules/sec x 360 sec = 252,000 joules of energy needed to defrost a pizzaTherefore: 252,000 joules / 10^13 joules per second = 3x10^-8...Tombstone Pizza Vending Machine
This Tombstone deep-dish-pizza vending machine made the rounds on the blogs yesterday. K., of the site She Eats, found it on the Houston Architecture Info Forum (registration required). K., perhaps, set the tone of the online discussion, calling it a sign of the apocalypse. But I'd like to advocate for this thing. I, for one, welcome this technological development. I've been gunning to try pizza from a vending machine for years now. The folks at Wonderpizza haven't been able to get on the horse, but it looks like Tombstone, a division of Kraft Foods, has the money and gumption to...Slice is part of the Foodblog Ad Network.
