Ohio Pizzeria Goes Viral for Pizza With Peanut Butter Sauce and Bananas

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.

Yuk…
I’m a pizza traditionalist, I’m afraid. To me, this is heresy.

When I moved from the Northeast to California and saw all the crap they put on pizza out here, I used to joke about “peanut butter pizza” and “Eskimo Pie pizza”

It has become impossible to be absurd any more. It doesn’t matter how ridiculous an idea you come up with, someone’s already out there trying it for real.

Yes, upon arriving in California my reaction was the same.

Looks like one of those dessert pizzas often found at a salad-pizza-pasta buffet. No big deal

I make a mean Thai peanut sauce and would think it would be great on a pizza with or without bananas.

I'll take a slice!

OK, I’ll be the contrarian.

Agreed that it’s not anywhere near a traditional pizza, but that doesn’t mean it’s not good eating.

A PBJ is not a pizza, but it sure hits the spot sometimes.

Just don’t think of it as “pizza”.

Buon appetito!

BTW, old people (most folks on FR) don’t like change or anything new. So this thread is going to be full of complaints and gripes.;-)

The only gross thing I’ve run into on a pizza is whole cashews, they just didn’t fit with it.

Best pizza I ever had.
