K.C. Pit Master Making Smoked Pizza
The Wilmington Star News reports on a recent WTF pizza moment at the Currituck BBQ Classic in Corolla, North Carolina: When I heard [Chris] Marks say that at the recent Currituck BBQ Classic in Corolla, I thought, "He's smoking something." But Marks was serious. The owner of Kansas City's Three Little Pigs BBQ & Catering told me he simply places rolled-out pizza crust directly on the smoker grate, adds sauce, cheese and toppings and then bakes the pizza for about 45 minutes at about 275 degrees. The crust, he says, comes out cracker crisp, the pie smoky and flavorful. Related...Pipe-Organ Pizzerias Briefly Explained
Yesterdays' Arizona pizza post and its mention of Organ Stop Pizza inspired me to do a little more digging on this surreal combination of pizza and pipes. That there were ever—and still are—pipe-organ pizzerias is something that never ceases to amaze me. But I'm also saddened that these places are quickly disappearing. Above, Dean Cook, former house musician at the now-defunct Angelino's in San Jose, California, briefly explains the history of this unlikely pairing before launching in to a rousing number. In short Cook says that around 1958, a Haywood, California, man installed a Mighty Wurlitzer organ after having...Peking Duck Pizza at Costco (in Taiwan)
[Photograph: My Inner Fatty] From the blog My Inner Fatty comes this account of Peking duck pizza, available at Costco of Taiwan: it looks just like a regular pizza, except... it's covered in Peking duck! Instead of tomato sauce, try 甜麵醬 (er, I don't know how to translate that, it's the sauce you put into those thin pancakes when you have Peking duck). Then to replace normal onions, you have scallions. To be fair, the pizza wasn't amazing, the crust was kind of soggy ... it was overly doughy, and lacked the char on the bottom. Whatever, you find...Jeremy Scott's Pizza Dress from His 'Food Fight' Collection
According to the Wikipedia, fashion designer Jeremy Scott "is best known for his outrageous and sometimes comical designs"—like this pizza dress from his Food Fight collection....Look But Don't Touch?
thedenverchannel.com I remember traveling through Sturgis, South Dakota, during an annual Sturgis Rally. The assembled masses of Harley riders wore T-shirts and plastered stickers on their bikes, many of which expressed the sentiment "You can look, but don't touch my f***in' bike." Bears are illiterate and don't really fear humans, though, so there's little this Harley owner could do when one or more tore into his bike's storage compartment trying to get at a pepperoni pizza. The biker and his wife had already removed it and were surprised the bear or bears could still smell the cheesy aroma of...Interview: Robbie Augspurger of Wolf Choir Explains 'VIDEO PIZZA'
Earlier this week, the blog Eat Me Daily turned me on to VIDEO PIZZA, a hypnotizing one-hour video of a spinning pepperoni pizza. I initially didn't believe it was real, but it did have a webpage and a link to buy the DVD, so I bit. Yesterday the mailman dropped off my fresh, hot copy. That answered that: It's real. But I had so many more questions. I contacted Robbie Augspurger of the conceptual art trio Wolf Choir, which produced VIDEO PIZZA. Robbie was kind enough to answer.... What inspired VIDEO PIZZA? Some friends and I were watching Video...Video: The Original Video Pizza Trailer, Perfect for Stoners
And now for something completely pointless but sort of intriguing. From Wolf Choir, a Portland, Oregon, band, comes the trailer for The Original Video Pizza, an hourlong video of spinning pizzas. Why you would want an hourlong video of spinning pizzas is anyone's guess. It somehow seems perfect for stoners, though. "No pizza boxes to clean up! No waiting for it to be ready!" Video, after the jump....Bogey's Pizza & Guns, a Combination Pizzeria and Gun Shop
Bogey's Pizza & Guns seems like it might be legit, according to the website Neatorama, which found a website, reports of people visiting, and a phonebook listing. When I called, however, the shop said it was "closed for a couple of weeks," with no definitive date to mark the temporary closing or reopening. I'm still skeptical until I can get verification, but it's fun to think it might be real. And, heck, there have been weirder combos—like this sneaker shop burger joint.

The site People in Pizza Costumes Becoming Pizzas cleverly clones single "slices" of pizza-costumed people into whole "pies." In addition to the cute little baby slice above, there are five other pizzas on the site....Slice is part of the Foodblog Ad Network.
