The Pizza Bandit in Dayton, Ohio tested out what it calls a Spicy Thai Cicada Pie, which is made with cheese, onions, mango, spicy Thai sauce — and blanched and sautéed locally foraged cicadas.
'These crunchy cicadas add a heck of a note to an otherwise wonderful Thai inspired pie,' the restaurant wrote on Facebook.
Cicadas are edible, though the FDA warns that those with seafood allergies should avoid them.
The restaurant's recipe calls for miso hoisin sriracha sauce, mozzarella, provolone, cicadas, mushrooms, cabbage, green onion, mango, cilantro, and a spicy Thai sauce.
They also baked cicada wings into the crust.

What’s next in cultural appropriation? Pizza a la dog? Pasta a la cat?

LoL I love anchovies.
I don’t get it. 17 years?
Nevermind I looked the 🐜 bug up and see what you mean now.
This is but a convenient way to hide the roaches.
Tastes like chicken? Asking for a friend.
You can only get them once every 17 years.
Not only would I not eat bug pizza, I would never go to that restaurant again.
If they capture the cockroaches in their kitchen and bake them into a pizza how would that be different?
Uh, thanks, but, uh, you can have mine.
I’d rather eat the cicada wings than all that cilantro ... tastes like nasty soap to me.
UGH!!!! NO thanks!!
I’ll wait.
that’s just nasty
