Elizabeth Ellis turned a simple, thin crust pizza into a tasty monstrosity tribute to HP Lovecraft and Evil Dead‘s Necronomicon book. In case you’re wondering, the eyes are garlic gloves and the mouth is made up of black olives. [via io9]
There’s no better meal than pizza and beer. That’s just a fact of life like gravity or Lindsay Lohan’s insobriety. Apparently, a couple in Illinois loved the combination so much they decided to brew a beer that tastes like pizza. The Margarita pizza is put into the mash & steeped like a tea bag. A [...]
From Slate’s L.V. Anderson: “Making pizza dough is not difficult; it contains literally five ingredients (flour, yeast, salt, olive oil, and water), and you can throw it together in ten to fifteen minutes. What is difficult is achieving the right thickness when you’re stretching the dough out, after it’s risen and before it’s been topped. [...]

Another outspoken opponent of the circumstances underlying the worldwide pizza trade has been Philip McMichael, Ph.D., a professor of development sociology at Cornell University. He [...]
What a clever idea! Tiny Urban Kitchen made a series of tiny pizza flags representing countries they have visited. I’m a little skeptical of the blue stuff on the flags (which, no biggie because they are just mashed blue potatoes) and the process and care that went into each pizza is astounding. Not only are they [...]
At this point, it’s safe to argue that I would be okay with the world ending because there is nothing more perfect than a mini-pizza on a stick. The Decorated Cookie published the recipe and ingredients list, so you to can now go forth and create this perfect bit of nom nom nom goodness. On [...]
A short, but sweet documentary on NYC pizza-maker Domenico DeMarco, owner of Di Fara. For the last 45 years, DeMarco has been making pizzas and dough by hand in his little corner shop. [via Kottke]
