It’s called The Elvis, and we still can’t decide if it’s bolt of culinary genius or a terrible mistake.
Served at Roscoe’s Pizza in Corwin, Ohio, which is roughly an hour away from Downtown Columbus, the pizza features a peanut butter base, traditional pizza cheese, bacon and bananas. Honey is added after baking.
An allusion to American music icon Elvis Presley, the pie has garnered more than 7,000 likes and more than 3,000 comments on a Facebook post the restaurant made about the pie on April 5.
The majority of comments were positive, with some leaving rave reviews after eating the pizza and others voice their desire to try it.
The pizza also recently received coverage from Indy 100 and Rare.
The Elvis isn’t the only wild pie to come out of the Corwin eatery either. On April 26, Roscoe’s introduced The Peanut Butter & Jelly, which combines combines peanut butter, jelly and a Panko topping.
What’s next....pineapple on pizza?
I read that Elvis liked to eat a loaf of Hawaiian bread filled with bananas and PB. Don’t recall it being pizza.
I watched about five minutes of it, got the gist of it. You can’t go wrong with Cab Calloway “Everybody Eats When They Come to My House” as background music. I happened to be playing it the day before yesterday.
The old Mom & Pop places beat the shopping mall chains hollow, and there are too few of them these days. I’m from Boston, 40 years ago, and I can’t tell people going there to hit the old local spots, because one by one they’re disappearing. And what’s replacing them isn’t an improvement.
