Pazuzuzolo

a dense custard of infinity (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 15 June 2012 21:19 (eleven years ago) link

I guess the name was chosen because "p'zolo!" is the sound someone makes when they bite into one and spit it out because it's too hot.

If there was a Klingon Pizza Hut, what would they call these?

johnny crunch, Friday, 15 June 2012 21:26 (eleven years ago) link

so who is gonna be the first one of us to actually eat a p'zolo?

i mean we all know it's gonna be me but i just figured i'd give someone else the opportunity to step up to the plate this time

The bacon sundae would probably be good if I were really high. The P'zone thing just looks incredibly unappealing and I don't hate Pizza Hut pizza (although it's been about a decade since I've eaten it so maybe it's terrible now).

Here is a blog post criticizing people who are snobs about a BK bacon sundae: http://www.npr.org/blogs/monkeysee/2012/06/13/154911191/how-we-talk-about-a-bacon-sundae

see if i was really high* i'd prefer something like forty pounds of chewy bread and greasy meat

this is not a chain restaurant but at the county fair this year you can haz cheezburgers w glazed doughnuts instead of buns, feel like that's probably old hat to people east of the rockies

I've had bacon + ice cream or bacon + chocolate on a few occasions and it's never really been a very successful combination. It's basically just a sweet thing with a few chewy out-of-place bits of bacon floating around.

yeah this was how I felt about it. I was thinking maybe they could distill bacon and brew their sundae sauce with some bacon juice to get a more even spread of the bacon flavor.

the late great, Friday, 15 June 2012 22:59 (eleven years ago) link

that vosges chocolate w bacon (and other sweet bacon foods) are a gimmick, you could just use sea salt and it'd be the same

P'Zones have been around for more than ten years (they introduced them while I was working my way through CNA school there), did they stop selling them at some point?

Pizza Hut's is pretty good, but I'll always prefer how my Italian grandmother made Buffalo Chicken P'zolo.

Really hoping someone does archive all these. I asked over on oreo pizza: WTF if there was a comprehensive history of the pointless novelty pizza, but got nowhere. Where did it all begin? And when will it all end? Pizza is like the ultimate goof-proof junk food meal; it's transparent to everyone involved that these gimmicks are just attention-grabbing marketing hooks as discussed upthread, but since both customers and pizza magnates know it, can't they just, like, stop?

Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 21 August 2012 23:00 (eleven years ago) link

all it takes is one novelty hit like a chicken mcnugget to make it worthwhile.

Philip Nunez, Tuesday, 21 August 2012 23:10 (eleven years ago) link

but that's just a wad of chicken. they don't do anything WEIRD to it, besides the thing they do to make it into a wad.

j., Tuesday, 21 August 2012 23:16 (eleven years ago) link

what if they ground up leftover pizza into and formed it into a waddy extrusion that could be breaded and fried into a nugget?

Philip Nunez, Tuesday, 21 August 2012 23:18 (eleven years ago) link

i think i would try the p'zone if someone else ordered it and paid for it and put it in front of me. i would *try* it, not necessarily finish it.

there are pizza-flavored potstickers that are pretty yummy, but they are asian frozen foods alchemy, not novelty fast food alchemy.

you know how many p'zones I own?

jack chick-fil-A (dayo), Wednesday, 22 August 2012 01:08 (eleven years ago) link

this might not count but i tried one of taco bell's new "cantina bowls" today. i imagine it's still terrible for you since it contains both guacamole-product and a creamy sauce, but it made me feel less like death than i usually do after eating there.

not to be outdone, been inundated with ads for the Papa John's Cool Ranch Doritos Papadia lately... don't worry, in case that's not enough Cool Ranch Doritos for you, it also comes with Doritos Cool Ranch dipping sauce and you can get the meal deal with a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos on the side
