Q: How big is this calendar?
A: Hot Pizza Calendar is a hanging wall calendar that comes in two sizes, 8x11 and 12x12! The perfect sizes!
Q: What kind of slices and/or pies can I expect to see in this calendar?
A: All sorts of stuff! Glorious whole pizzas from NYC, grid-style taven cuts from the midwest and even an extremely photogenic homemade pie straight from my kitchen!
That's no basil - that's mint! Pair it with hot soppressata and soft beds of ricotta with a literal cherry on top for an otherworldly pizza time at Cent's in Cleveland!
Q: This seems kinda pricey for a calendar! Shouldn't it cost less?
A: There's a good reason why the price is what is is - I'm just one guy putting this thing together! If you try to find a comparable calendar featuring only the most succulent of adequately-heated pizza action, you won't find anything at all, proving once and for all that this world is entirely a sham!
Most calendars you find in stores and online are mass-produced in huge bulk shipments, and I'm super small-time and can't afford that right now, so the current price takes into account the higher cost to print this thing.
But who knows - if enough people end up craving hot pizza action on their walls, bringing the serenity that only an all-seeing pizza presence can provide, maybe I'll make a deal with a bigger publisher to help bring the price down for everyone!
September sports a magical garden replete with sausage as far as the eye can see, from The Pizza House in Columbus, OH!
Q: How much is shipping?
A: Shipping is a flat $5 to US addresses.
Q: What are some of the best pizzas you've had?
A: The personal Sicilian pie at
Cortese Restaurant in Binghamton, NY was so good that it ruined my internal pizza criteria and I actually got upset about it!
San Matteo's Diavola pie in NYC is consistently amazing, and I always try to stop by when I go back to visit family.
And during a trip to Italy that was 95% pizza tourism, the Margherita pie at
Osteria Caffè Italiano in Florence was absolutely astounding - it was so good I put it on the cover of the very first calendar!
Q: Which is better, Neapolitan or Sicilian-style?
A: Which is better, breathing in or breathing out?
