Uuni Personal Woodburning Pizza Oven: Disown Your Papa Johns
Home By on Jan 17, 2013
We all know the big pizza chains don’t get their business because their pizza is delicious. They get tons of orders because they’re in every single neighborhood in the U.S. and they advertise out the wazoo. But if you’re aiming to make 2013 about quality pizza, you can reject that wazooiness with Uuni, a personal wood-burning oven that promises to deliver primo pizzeria flavor to your plate at home. Due to some sort of pixie magic, the Uuni can replicate the crazy high temperatures of traditional wood-burning ovens (600°-840°F), and it’s precisely that heat leads to the charred crust you find with Neapolitan-style pizza. Peace out, Papa.
Fat Boys Pizza Box Vinyl Reissue
Media By on Nov 7, 2012
Consider yourself lucky if you grew up in the era of the Fat Boys. The Human Beat Box, Kool Rock Ski, and Prince Markie Dee had more fun with their beats & rhymes than all other rappers combined from the years 2000-20012. They were never shy about their love of food (trans fats hadn’t been invented yet), so it’s only fitting that a reissue of the Fat Boys debut album is released on vinyl–inside a pizza box. This chunky set comes with a 20-page liner notes booklet and a download card for bonus materials.

Hell Pizza Roulette
Culture By on Mar 14, 2012
Russian roulette tends to get a little too dramatic, what with the gun play and all. But if you still enjoy the concept, we just found dinner for your next UK trip. New Zealand-based Hell Pizza offers their customers an option for Pizza Roulette, which means one slice of your pie comes with two drops of the world’s hottest chili sauce (2 million Scoville units) on it. Of course no one knows what slice actually has the heat, so the pressure builds with each bite. It’s roulette the way we like it: melted cheese sans Deer Hunter hijinks.
