Blogwatch: Meta-Pizza Pie!

Slice contributor Andrew Janjigian sent this impressive meta-pizza post over yesterday! I see the pizza hummus as the real inspiration for this piece. It's unclear what the crust is from the post, but my money is on flour tortilla. So many layers of salty, crunchy, pizza snackdom... and a pizza combos crust?! Brilliant.

Korean Pizza Snack: 'Shany Mini-Baguette, Pizza Flavor'

Reaching in to the Slice mailbag, we've got ... I found an interesting pizza-themed snack at a Korean grocery store called Kukje Market here in Daly City, California.

What starts out with a light crunch ends as a thin paste mortaring your molars, and while this may work with the original flavor, we had trouble eating these.

[Photograph: Adam Kuban] What is a pizza puff? No, seriously. That's not a rhetorical question. I'm asking you, Chicagoans. OK. Actually, from what I've read and seen firsthand after a visit to a very well-stocked supermarket frozen pizza aisle, it's simply pizzaesque ingredients with a flour tortilla folded around them in an almost envelope-like manner. From everything I've googled on them, I know they're a Chicago thing. So, more specifically, how is a true pizza puff prepared? And what is its natural habitat?...

When Would You Ever Need 120 Totino's Pizza Rolls?

[Photograph: Adam Kuban]

I took this at a Woodman's* last night. I had to do a double read. Um, 120 pizza rolls for $9.69? First, that's a dirt-cheap 8¢ each. Second — what the hell are you going to do with 120 pizza rolls?!? I don't know, but I kinda want to find out.
