The Pizza Bandit in Dayton, OH, has discovered a new pizza topping... CICADAS? Yep, the pizza restaurant has created a new "Spicy Thai Cicada Pie" that includes locally foraged cicadas along with lots of other ingredients.
The restaurant says this new creation is "an 18" handtossed dough with miso hoisin sriracha sauce, mozzarella and provolone, blanched and sautéed locally foraged cicadas, mushroom, cabbage, green onion, mango, cilantro, with a spicy Thai sauce after the bake and a Cicada wing adorned crust!"
As for the reactions to the strange pizza topping, The Pizza Bandit says they "range from absolutely delicious to...well...uh...yeah..."
But don't plan your road trip to freak out your friends just yet. According to their Facebook page, the pizza is not for sale. "You can NOT get this pizza by the slice or whole pie because we're not even sure if we legally can sell you locally foraged Cicadas but there's tons of other delicious pizzas to round out your Sunday at iampizzabandit.com."
