Pizzacone! For numbfucks too intellectually and/or emotionally challenged to eat a normal slice.
Feb 26th 2010 By Nick Romano
Pizzacone, the Perfect Combination of Pizza and Cone

http://www.asylum.com/2010/02/26/k-pizzacone-new-york-pizza-in-a-cone/



Remember back in the day when everyone ate pizza by the slice with the grease oozing off the tip and staining their clothes? Those days are over.

K! Pizzacone's revolutionary product combines the deliciousness of a pizza slice with the portability of an ice cream cone. Since its grand opening in New York City this past Monday, only one question has been on our minds -- why didn't anyone think of this before?

"The problem with pizza is that the toppings need to be proportional to the crust," said John amidst eating his first cone on Tuesday.

With Pizzacone, however, everything is combined in a swirl of cheesy goodness. Depending on your preference, either tomato or pesto sauce is poured into the crust-like cone along with melted cheese and choice of toppings. Some of the staff's personal favorites are the scrambled egg breakfast wrap and the jalapeno pepper cone.



Many New Yorkers are already flocking to Pizzacone, located on 5th Avenue in its first U.S. location, to take a bite out of this addictive concoction.

Although the eatery is usually open until midnight, Ingo Pinto, one of the store owners, had to close shop early on Monday because they had sold out. "I'm on my third one," said one New Yorker waiting in the cramped space on Tuesday.

Another customer, Joanna, thinks Pizzacone is like Go-gurt. "It's weird because pizza is already so portable," she said before sinking her teeth into the crunchy crust. It's true, why fix something that was never broken to begin with?

However, just like Go-gurt did to young kids, Pizzacone makes eating pizza more fun and exciting. As a pregnant woman, Joanna says the Pizzacone satisfies her cravings.



While these customers were enjoying the latest in pizza technology, others were not so thrilled.

"I'll stick to hot dogs," shouted one New Yorker as he left Pizzacone. "Little Italy blows this place away," said another.

But after tasting it ourselves, we expect Pizzacone to spread at least as fast as the far inferior Pinkberry.

1. If we in America are creative enough to make a pizza-flavored ice cream cone...
then why the hell can't we invent a cage strong enough to keep Republicans in?

4. Pizza isn't food anyway.
It's 'Ewwwwwwwww.'

Yes, I'm half-Italian. Pizza is evil. It's just bread with cheese and whatever you put on it.

6. If it comes from Pizza Hut, yes...
...authentic Italian pizza is another matter entirely. It's an art form.

5. Not since the failed Pizza in a Cup has a better idea graced our shores.
Oh, remember to stay away from these cans.

13. Cuz it's still pizza.
You can find pizza in a grease-stained box on a counter where you know it sat out overnight with bugs crawling on it, and you'll still debate whether to grab a slice for breakfast before cleaning up. Even if you don't do it, you'll think about it. :)

20. Oh... there's no doubt...

A CLASSIC and literal no-brainer.

And YUMMY, pocket-portable pizza.

Reading that last sentence made me feel like Niedermeyer in "Animal House"
spraying the ROTC plebe with "PLEDGE PIN!!!!!".

12. Pizza is just a crutch for numbfucks who can't eat a normal meal, anyway.
Not that I'm not one of them.

14. You live in fucking New York City, you fucking better get a fucking pizzeria pizza.
A real one. None of this pizza cone bullshit.
With some of the best pizza available anywhere in the world right at your fingertips, you have no excuse for this shit.

21. Hmm...this would work as a "freezer case" item
Someone on YouTube pointed out this is the next Hot Pocket, and you've got to admit there's a certain panache to the thing...make a little fold-out heating thingy to stick it in so it remains upright in the microwave, and rig it so you can nuke it in two minutes, and people would buy these.

As a substitute for real NY pizza this is NOT, but it's the kind of thing every pothead should have a box or two of on hand just in case.
