Even when separated by thousands of miles, one deployed U.S. soldier managed to keep the tradition of a weekly pizza night with her husband alive. The soldier’s husband, Reddit user Robswampthing, posted photographic evidence of his wife’s love on the social media site this week. “My wife is deployed right now, and we always used to get pizza on Wednesday nights,” he wrote. “I sent her a message telling her how much I missed doing that with her, then Papa Johns showed up.” The message from his wife above the hot and cheesy Papa John’s pizza was sweet and simple....

Find instructions and photos -- and details on...

Customers stop by for pizza cones – that’s right, pizza cones – at a new shop in Squirrel Hill called Pizza Cono.

The cones use less dough than traditional pizza. “We take this cone and fill it up with fresh ingredients,” Joe says. “Pepperoni, sausages, all the meats, all the fresh vegetables. We even have some gourmet cones that we make, like the...

Japan's Kit Kat fixation, it seems, has reached critical mass. 1P After numerous Kit Kat flavors and even a specialty boutique, Japan is getting Kit Kat pizzas from delivery chains Strawberry Cones and Napoli no Kama (which, yes, is owned by Strawberry Cones).

Then comes the “paint”: toppings that bring delicious flavor, bright color, and contrast between both cooked and fresh ingredients. Last is the heat source, which for these pizza recipes is just a traditional oven and a basic sheet pan. Related: 14 New, Lighter Comfort Food Ideas

Be careful about ordering Pizza Patron's La Ch!#gona pie in mixed company. The Dallas-based restaurant group is making enemies with the name of the new pizza -- a Spanish descriptor questionable enough that Pizza Patron is giving it curse-word treatment by using symbols in marketing materials. The word "la chingona" loosely translates to an adjective like "bad-ass," explained several Spanish speakers, but it isn't a descriptor many were willing to utter aloud over and over. "This is a word you use in a very relaxed atmosphere with people of your same age or background," said Victor Arriaga, deputy consul at...

Let's just get this out of the way: Putting ranch dressing on your pizza is disgusting and foul and you should feel ashamed of yourself if you desecrate the sanctity of the holy union of bread, tomato sauce, and cheese. For shame! Anyway, Cane Rosso's in Dallas is doing it right and "charging" customers a sweet grand for the privilege to eat their pizza WRONG. Owner Jay Jerrier explained to Eater the type of people he usually encounters ordering this pghlemy subtance. It's weird, it always seems to be young, college-age girls that ask for it. Of course, when they...
