In 2001, Pizza Hut delivered a six-inch salami pizza to the International Space Station—
the first pizza delivered to outer space
The U.S. Military Lab recently invented a ready-to-eat pizza that can last for up to three
years. The pizza is intended for soldiers abroad who are craving a slice… and also
presumably for anyone preparing for a zombie apocalypse.
Pizza is such an iconic food, it even inspired an art show. In 2013, the Marlborough
Broome Street Gallery in New York curated a show called “Pizza Time!” featuring more
than 25 pizza-inspired works of art. The works ranged from paintings like “Caveman on
Pizza,” which featured a sunglasses-wearing caveman surfing a giant slice of pizza, to
works of art made of actual pizza, like John Riepenhoff’s “Physical Pizza Networking
Theory.”
