pizza chef caricatures
By Nick Sherman, April 1st, 2010
Coinciding with the beginning of Pizza Month 2010, I’ve launched the Pizza Chef Caricature group photo pool on Flickr, dedicated to stereotypical portrayals of pizza-makers (or “pizzaioli”) typically seen on local pizzeria menus, signage, and take-out boxes.
Quality examples typically feature a majority of the following elements:
- Mustache
- Classic chef’s toque hat
- Plumpness
- Friendly hand gesture, such as the “OK” pinch or thumbs-up
- Winking eye
- Neckerchief or bow-tie
- Apron
- Pizza in hand, or mid-air in spin toss
- Steam lines coming off said pizza
- Other accessories, such as a pizza cutter or a peel
New submissions are welcome!

Earlier this year the dudes at Liberated Images / Shirts & Destroy released a limited edition 5-color gross-out pizza shirt that comes in a specially printed pizza box. From their description:
A pizza to end all pizzas. Served piping hot with everything you could want on it. Nails, screws, an eyeball, pocket change, a severed finger, cigarette butts, pepperoni, a razor blade, a dead fish, mushrooms and a bunch of other gnarly shit.
Gnarly shit, indeed.
The graphic was done by Billy from Tall Boy Illustration. Get yours here.
