Pizzacone

By John Farrier in Food & Drink on Jul 3, 2010 at 3:35 pm

Pizzacone is a new Manhattan restaurant where you can buy the contents of a pizza stuffed into a cone:

The dough cones are shipped to Pinto daily from a Connecticut bakery, and each Pizzacone is made to order at the counter; you tell them what ingredients to add, and then it’s cooked in the oven for five minutes. The result, according to one early guinea pig, is as convenient as it is delicious. “Tastes like a pizza,” Victor Nelli, a TV producer, tells the Daily News. “You can totally walk with it, and you don’t have the oil dripping all over you.”

What say you, Neatoramanauts: awesome or disgusting? Or both?

Does it include two doses of Atorvastatin floating in a pool of delightful pizza grease at the bottom of the cone – yes – count me in!

The cone shape is convenient for stabbing directly into the heart.

Hey!
Love the blog!
Here in Brazil there is something like this.
Where I live, Curitiba, there is a shop of http://www.conepizza.com.br/ in the mall.
It is not that bad… but tricky to eat it, I thought.

Does anybody remember Steve Martin in “The Jerk” — having … pizza in a cup?

Who cares about originality nowadays, huh? It’s totally awesome because of the convenience, but I bet it’s super filling..

Meh, not much of an improvement on the ‘stack and fold’ method of eating pizza. Although I do appreciate the thought that went into it.

Awesome! I’d try making one if I weren’t allergic to cheese!

I can only imagine the incredible pizza burn when you take the first chomp of this monster.
Or, you could cut off the point of the cone and slurp the thing down. That way you’ll get all that yummy pepperoni grease first, before it has a chance to coagulate.

What the hell did he expect? It *is* a pizza. Television people are such morons.

Nothing new, these thing exists for around 2 years here in Brazil, when temaki became popular.

When I worked on Regent St in London, I used to go to a little shop around the corner for pizza wraps, which were essentially the same thing only not conical.

Yeah, and, calzone.

My Yelp review summarizes it; “Ever had a Hot Pocket? Same thing.” Also it is like $7. Skip.

I prefer a good panzerotti instead, and with more sauce then cheese in it too.

Man, you just got it now? This is very old news in Brazil…

we use to have a similar franchise in New Zealand but it was epic fail… the topping to crust ratio needed work and the center was either to hot or not cooked… never perfect… so yeah

We have a chain here in India, called Pizza Corner, which offers something called a Conizza. Take a look at the menu card, which has a photo of it: http://www.pizzacorner.com/menu.asp

It’s the same thing exactly, only it’s been around for a couple of years.
