Let’s talk about innovation, shall we? Allegedly, it’s a good thing. Curious inventors can bring exciting new creations to life by improving or modifying existing things that people already enjoy. Sometimes these innovations are undoubtedly beneficial to our lives—think the french fry. Sometimes these innovations end up being massive disappointments—think putting coffee into single-use plastic pods that only work in one machine, usually taste bad, and will remain on the planet long after the human species goes extinct. But every once in a while, an innovation comes along that yields nothing more than the passing thought of, “I guess you could do that…if you really wanted to.” Today brings news of one such curious innovation: Cheez-It Pizza. What a time to be alive.
Cheez-It Pizza? Like Cheez-Its on top of pizza?
No, not like Cheez-Its on top of pizza. That would not be nearly innovative enough. What Cheez-It has done is made full-size frozen pizzas with Original Cheez-It-flavored thin crust and three different topping varieties. Yes, the pizza is orange and shaped like a Cheez-It. According to photos of the packaging that have appeared online, it also bakes in only 8 to 10 minutes, which makes me believe the crust will actually be cracker thin, akin to a real Cheez-It.
What are the different Cheez-It Pizza varieties?
The topping varieties include Italian Four Cheese, Pepperoni, and Cheddar Jack Supreme. Of course, it’s only right that they all include 100% real cheddar in their cheese blends. Despite my lamentations about pointless innovation, I would still try this pizza if it magically appeared in front of me. I guess that’s kinda the mentality Cheez-It is banking on us all having here.
When and where will Cheez-It Pizza be available?
Releasing the news of a giant-Cheez-It-turned-pizza in such close proximity to April Fools’ Day is a bold move, but despite the perplexing visual of an orange square pizza, these pies are no joke. While a release date hasn’t been announced just yet, snack expert Markie Devo on Instagram says they’re “coming soon to major stores nationwide.” That may still sound like April Fools’ speak to you, but they’re already on Instacart so you better believe it, they’re coming. Sometimes you just gotta let the innovators innovate—ultimately, let Cheez-It cook.
