Here’s a pizza topping we never expected to see offered.
We understand that smoked reindeer is a favourite topping in Finland but python?
Evan’s Neighborhood Pizza in southwest Florida is offering customers a pie that includes a topping of fresh python.
According to WPXI, The restaurant’s “Everglades” pizza contains just about every living creature you’d find in the Sunshine State’s swamps: frog, alligator and swamp cabbage.
Owner Evan Daniell told the New York Daily News the unusual topping has been surprisingly popular.
“We’re selling them left and right. It’s a happy accident; it’s about being creative.”
A medium 14-inch Everglades pie goes for $45, and that’s because python meat can cost about $66 per pound.
The station says Daniell has considered creating a “roadkill” pizza, which would include raccoon, armadillo and possum but has had trouble finding a supplier for the specialty meats.
Or customers, perhaps?
