    Python Pizza- Would You Dare To Try It?

    When it comes to the topping on pizza, some people and restaurants can get a little crazy. If you thought pineapple and anchovies were strange toppings, wait until you try a python pizza from Evan’s Neighborhood Pizza in Fort Myers, Florida.

    The python pizza is a creative twist on pizza that includes toppings such as python meat, swamp cabbage, hog, alligator and frogs legs with the bone still in them. The python pizza was inspired by the Everglades and is apparently a very popular pizza. According to restaurant owner serves-up-an-interesting-pie/2521391281246/” target=”_blank”>Daniell said about the python pizza. You have different flavors throughout Evan Daniell, the pizzas are selling like crazy.

    “I’m very adventurous when it comes to food, that’s for sure,”

    If you think the python pizza is cheap, think again. Although the toppings may be a little out there, they are also high quality and costly, with python meat costing around $66 per pound. The python meat is naturally chewy, so it is marinated and tenderized to make it taste better.
    So what does a python pizza taste like?

    According to a customer from Minnesota named Mike, “It’s good but a little chewy.”

    “It tastes like chicken but chewier,” said his wife.

    If you are ready to try a python pizza, be prepared to $45 for one. The actual name of the pizza is the “Everglades Pizza” and you can order one the next time you find yourself in Fort Myers.

    Move over Pepperoni and Sausage, never thought of before toppings are slithering their way onto Florida pizzas dished out in the Sunshine State. Evan’s Neighborhood Pizza in Fort Myers may have originally devised something called an “Everglades Pizza” as a Facebook gimmick, but now people are actually buying it. Their python pizza has even gone viral.

    What’s in the pie, you dare ask? Think about a swamp, then think about what you would find in a swamp, that’s a good place to start. We’re dealing with alligator, hog and frog legs. Throw in a little swamp cabbage and tomato for color, and you’ve got the Everglades on a crust.

    Sure, the meat on the pizza is described as being a bit chewy and also a tad gamey, but many regulars and tourists alike are intrigued enough to try a slice. Evan Daniell, owner of the pizza joint, said that the restaurant marinates the meat and slices it into small pieces in order to enhance the taste. He spoke about the internet buzz that the pie has sparked, “It was just to create talk about the shop and being creative and this thing literally just went viral.” He added, “People talk about it all the time and whether it’s negative or positive, it really doesn’t matter because the fact is we can make it and it’s delicious.”

    And if you’re still not impressed by Daniell’s creativity, don’t worry, the visionary pizzaman has some other ideas brewing. How about a Roadkill Pizza with a little racoon and possum? Daniell is all for pushing the limits of the pizza envelope but he confessed, “I’ve yet to find a supplier.”

    The Everglades Pie is not cheap at $45, so if you’re going to try it, be sure to bring your wallet.
