Menu Madness Season III: Pizza Picks…

The nutty menu items just keep on coming! We’ve already looked at a Four-Pound Taco and a ‘maxed-out Pastrami Chili Cheese Dog’. Now, we’ve got a whole cavalcade of crazy Pizza innovations which will either thrill you or make you want to throw up. Hold on! here we go…

The Balls Deep Meat-zza Ball…

Balls Deep is described as a large Meatball wrapped in Pizza. That’s plain Cheese Pizza, but who’s complaining?

It’s offered by Sgt. Pepperoni’s Pizza Store in Newport, CA. The Sgt. also ‘exhibits’ at an annual celebration of Cheese called OozeFest, in Santa Anna, CA. It’s next week, Oct. 15-16, 2016. Tickets are still available.

Pizza Hut gets stuffed in a nice, new way…

Pizza Hut, which has offered ‘stuffed crust’ pies on and off for years, is now offering a new version: Grilled Cheese Stuffed Crust.

The crust stuffing is Cheddar and most of the Hut’s pies feature traditional Mozzarella on top. Don’t know how this will taste, but the cheese pull will be extreme and in stereo!

Cheeseburgers and Lasagne…

ChefTym Bussanich has made a name for himself on Instragram as a mashup maestro. Two of his Pizza creations drew my attention…

First, there’s the Lasagna-stuffed Pizza:

Then there’s his inimitable McDonald’s Cheeseburger Pizza:

If you’re still hungry, I’ll whip you up one of my famous scratch pies with Crispy Bacon, thin-sliced Pepperoni, Olives, Sweet Onion, three colours of Sweet Pepper, Chopped Pepperoncini, Paper-thin Beefsteak Tomato Slices and Three Cheeses. The recipe for my special Pizza sauce will remain a secret. For now…

However you like your Pizza: Mangia! Mangia!
