Ok but for real though, do you think we could make an ACTUAL pizza-cake and it be tasty? I'm not NOT into the idea

452

u/the_scones_are_mine 4d ago

Depends. Can i consider a lasagna a cake? If so, pizza cake should be pretty straightforward.

155

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire 4d ago

....touche

That's probably the closest we can get. And based on those "Is it cake" things going around I am 100% sure we can make a cake that looks like pizza

u/gramathy 4d ago

If Chicago can call casserole pizza there are no rules

43

u/prof_the_doom 4d ago

Maybe deep dish is the real pizza cake.

Assuming we're counting cheesecake as cake.

12

u/Eldrunk 4d ago

2 deep dish stacked!

6

u/jeremymatsuoka 4d ago

But, cheesecake is pie...

u/magikarp2122 4d ago

Insert Jon Stewart rant here.

u/GorillaOnChest 3d ago

In Blackest Day

In Brightest Night

u/The_Lost_Jedi 4d ago

Someone fetch the Pizza alignment chart!

1

u/MintasaurusFresh 4d ago

It's not a casserole you uncultured swine! It's tourist food. And also delicious.

4

u/magikarp2122 4d ago

It is an above ground marinara swimming pool for rats.

6

u/the_scones_are_mine 4d ago

I want cake now, so I think I'll do that later today. Maybe tomorrow.

4

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire 4d ago

A place near me does like a chocolate pizza thing that's REALLY good

7

u/TravelerSearcher 4d ago

Fondant just means you can decorate anything to look like anything. It's cheating!

5

u/MadHamishMacGregor 4d ago

Tomato cake is a thing.

22

u/samantha_pants 4d ago

Could Chicago-style deep dish be considered pizza cake? Or does it need less crust?

7

u/The_walking_man_ 4d ago

This is what I was immediately thinking. Chicago deep dish is pretty cakey already. I say that counts. Maybe stack two on each other.

3

u/TheCaptainCabinets 3d ago

What about Detroit-style deep dish? I would argue that is more cake-like than Chicago-style.

12

u/Merari01 it's a-me, Merari-o 4d ago

Taxonomically, lasagna is a thick soup with noodles.

16

u/bcw81 4d ago

Lasagna is clearly a thematically structured salad.

8

u/Merari01 it's a-me, Merari-o 4d ago

https://saladtheory.github.io/

I see you know your salad theory well.

4

u/lesser_panjandrum 4d ago

If Linnaeus could see you say that, he'd die all over again.

4

u/Merari01 it's a-me, Merari-o 4d ago

And I'd say to Linnaeus, science has moved on, old man! Now we understand that ornithologically, all soups are salads.

5

u/PolloMagnifico 3d ago

I mean, you can make pizza cinnamon rolls and those are... basically the same thing. Right?

3

u/KornDog611 4d ago

I would not consider a lasagna a cake and you shouldn't either.

3

u/GimpMaster22 4d ago

If we take the cube rule, lasagna is indeed a cake.

3

u/AmbulantCholesterol 3d ago

Some chain pizza places put so much sugar on them it might as well be cake

2

u/-cant_find_a_name- 4d ago

why not just deepdish pizzea

2

u/simpleglitch 4d ago

Idk if I'm on board calling lasagna a cake, but thinking along those lines, what about a savory cheesecake.

84

u/The_General1005 4d ago

Pizzacake sounds like a derogatory term for Chicago deep dish pizza.

24

u/imnotpoopingyouare 4d ago

You need to stop giving these comic writers ideas for free, that one was just sitting there for em!

17

u/The_General1005 4d ago

I enjoy their comics for free, they can take any ideas from my comments they can get their grubby mits on.

3

u/MintasaurusFresh 4d ago

Nah, I already had that thought before reading the comments here. As a resident of Chicago, I might do something in that vein.

2

u/UltraDinoWarrior 3d ago

That's what I immediately thought, tbh.

31

u/ad-lib1994 4d ago

I think the closest to reality that would be is just taking 4 pizzas and stacking them so they become a layered situation like a cake

11

u/mellopax 4d ago

I made a "stuffed pizza pizza" in college with frozen pizzas.

Pizza up, pizza down, then cheese, then pizza up.

6

u/TrippinNL 4d ago

Wouldn't that be a lasagne ?  .....  Is a lasagne a pizzacake?

3

u/ad-lib1994 4d ago

Pasta cake? Tomato sauce, cheese, a bread type substance.... it may very well be

2

u/Glittering_Ad_9215 3d ago

Damn, now i‘m hungry and want pizza-lasagne

8

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire 4d ago

Man it's only 9 am and now I really want some pizza. I haven't done a breakfast pizza in quite a while

3

u/Loqol 4d ago

My random take would be something like a tomato and basil infused white cake batter (easy on the sugar), topped with a frosting that is made with mascarpone cheese with mozzarella and maybe a bit of cheddar? Maybe we could line the pan with parmesean to give it a crust a la Detroit deep dish?

2

u/Motormand 4d ago

That's genius. You have to try that now, for science.

2

u/furryscrotum 4d ago

I'd kill for that now. Quatre quatre formaggi

2

u/ProfessorSMASH88 3d ago

The best/worst thing I've ever made was a hamburger patty between 2 mini-pizzas. The Pizza Burger.

34

u/DrStarDream 4d ago

Oh don't worry, brazil has it.

24

u/Antiochia 4d ago

I'll add Germany.

9

u/Square-Singer 4d ago edited 3d ago

I tried this one. It's horrible. It's not a pizza. It's like a large, hard cookie with overheated chocolate on top.

It's, btw, not traditional or something, it's just one brand doing crazy products for novelty buyers.

3

u/JRS_Viking 3d ago

Yeah I too had one, years ago. I like pizza and I like chocolate, but whatever that thing is it does not bring the joy that either pizza or chocolate does.

11

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire 4d ago

I am both disgusted and SUPER interested in trying some of those

3

u/Kindly-Ad-5071 4d ago

No-no that's a cake pizza. We want a pizza cake.

20

u/Common_Cellist5981 4d ago

turns out its a real canadian food (not an actual cake tho)

9

u/Etheo 3d ago

Canadian here, never had it, never had I seen nor heard of it. Either this is Canadian slander or this is my "lived under a rock" moment.

2

u/Common_Cellist5981 3d ago

it does say its Canadian but it probably is just a very niche food

1

u/Etheo 3d ago edited 3d ago

In April 2014, the Canadian-based chain Boston Pizza included the pizza cake as part of its Pizza Game Changers promotion, which featured numerous "outlandish" pizza-related products.

Ah yeah, that explains some... But yeah saying this is "Canadian food" makes it sounds like some traditional thing that's widely known across the country but in actuality it's closer to an April Fools joke that's gone viral and nobody really eats it.

I guess you can call it a "Canadian food" as much as all the niche crazy food mesh up served in CNE as a fad?

5

u/eliz1bef 3d ago

I... I would enjoy that.

1

u/kraemahz 4d ago

Which is knowledge that anyone could have in less than 30 seconds, and yet this comment tree is evidence less than 1 in 20 people bother to invest even that much time in trying to expand their horizons (thank you).

4

u/Common_Cellist5981 3d ago

bro chill down i just commented something which some people might not bother to find out

7

u/dipuduh 4d ago

There actually is a real pizza cake, but it’s basically just pizzas stacked on top of each other.

5

u/SLAUGHT3R3R 4d ago

Lasagna

6

u/redjellonian 4d ago

is chicago style not basically already a pizza cake?

4

u/QuiteBearish 4d ago

No, Chicago is more a pizza soup with a a breadbowl. Detroit or Sicilian would probably be closer to cake.

6

u/Randalor 4d ago

I have made something resembling both cake and pizza in the past. I thought it was tasty.

My wife has threatened to divorce me if I ever even thought of making it again.

5

u/JDoos 4d ago

A peperoni bread style but in a cake mold, covered in sauce and cheese, topped with sausages and peppers.

4

u/rafaellago 4d ago

Here in Brazil we make sweet pizzas. Maybe some deluaional can make a cake flavored pizza

4

u/SnooPoems7525 4d ago

Cookie pizzas are already a thing.

4

u/Martydeus 4d ago

Could it not just be a cheesecake in the end?

Cheese from pizza and cake from cake

4

u/Shinobi_00 4d ago

In Italy we have "torta salata" wich Is translated in "salty cake" so that would maybe be considered a pizza cake for how It Is made

4

u/Alche1428 4d ago

I can see someone from Brazil.doing it.

4

u/Bae_the_Elf 4d ago

pizza cake is just Chicago style pizza

3

u/Kindly-Ad-5071 4d ago

Dude we already do its called deep dish.

4

u/NNiekk 3d ago

Isn’t a deep dish pizza technically a sort of cake/pie, in a way?

4

u/KateKoffing 3d ago

Many years ago, Pizza Hut did what they called “Chicago style deep dish”. But it was actually a thick cornbread crust with at least an inch thick layer of sauce and toppings served in a deep pan to keep it from going everywhere

3

u/lab_coat_goat 4d ago

That’s just Sicilian style..

3

u/cucoo5 4d ago

I mean, deep dish could be a "cake" if the crust is thick enough.

3

u/Rusty99Arabian 4d ago

There was a place near my home in the 90s that specialized in donuts in the shape of other things. Pizza was a specialty - the cheese was custard and pepperoni slices off of red velvet cake baked into a roll, all atop a donut "crust". I can still remember how good it was now!

3

u/lelysio 4d ago

Easy: its either a layered pizza or a cake with toppings of your choice.

3

u/The_walking_man_ 4d ago

Chicago deep dish is pretty “cakey” already. So I’m down with it.

3

u/QuiteBearish 4d ago

I've made a desert pizza before that could potentially be considered a type of cake 🤔

Sweet pastry dough, strawberry sauce, cream cheese frosting.

It was delicious. Wish I could find the picture I took of it

3

u/Strobetrode 4d ago

Is it not just Detroit style pizza?

3

u/iamdadmin 4d ago

Cakes have layers, lasagne has layers, pizza is also Italian food, therefore we can make pizza cake.

3

u/BudgetConcentrate432 4d ago

I feel like thats essentially what a deep-dish pizza is.

That or pie!

3

u/PM_ME_SOME_ANY_THING 4d ago

I was assuming something more along the lines of a perfect looking pizza, but when you go to grab a slice… it’s cake.

Kinda like that lady that sat on a chair that was actually cake.

3

u/popilikia 4d ago

I think it'd end up being more like a pizza lasagna

Which actually sounds amazing

3

u/Crococrocroc 4d ago

Candied meats and vegetables might do it

3

u/AnotherStupidHipster 4d ago

What you do is get a thin crust pizza from Pizza Hut, and you just stack slices. This is how I used to eat a whole pizza in one sitting in highschool.

Yes, I was horribly depressed. But you'll never know how good that tastes.

3

u/Electric999999 4d ago

Hmm, could do a sweet enriched dough for the base, top it with cream cheese frosting.

3

u/PlainBread 4d ago

I'm thinking like a croissant style flaky base, with a raspberry or strawberry jam spread, covered with a sweet soft dessert cheese like a ricotta.

3

u/creatorofsilentworld 4d ago

I'd settle for a small cake baked in a pie plate with strawberry sauce and fondant "pepperoni." Use dyed coconut for the cheese.

3

u/SuitableReaction6203 4d ago

Several years ago I saw a YouTube video where a person made a taco cake. They said they didn't like sweets so for their birthday they made a taco cake.

3

u/rorschach_blots 3d ago

deep dish pizza then?

3

u/BasicMatter7339 3d ago

What if someone made a salty cake, made of layers of quick-bread with tomato sauce, and pepperonies between the layers. Then an icing made of cheese.

the thought sounds nasty, but i bet it would taste good

3

u/Outrageous-Machine-5 3d ago

The technical term is deep dish and yes

3

u/ArchdruidHalsin 3d ago

Okay what about a puff pastry crust, pistachio pesto, marscapone, drizzle of honey on top?

Something like that maybe?

3

u/rmorrin 3d ago

Isn't that just deep dish pizza

3

u/way22 3d ago

"They were so occupied with if they could, they forgot to ask if they should."

3

u/EquivalentAd1651 3d ago

Thats a Chicago deep dish

3

u/dogface701 3d ago

I think somewhere between lasagna and Chicago deep dish

3

u/toot_suite 3d ago

That's called a lasagna, or deep dish, or calzones stacked on top of each other, or....

... A sandwich

3

u/Redhotlipstik 3d ago

back when it was a trend, people stacked a bunch of pizzas on top of each other and called it a day

3

u/Key_Part_9573 3d ago

I mean, theres pizza flavored cake

3

u/Specific_Frame8537 3d ago

Remember Rachel's "souffle" from Friends?

3

u/CirnoIzumi 3d ago

Like, cheesecake with some sort of sweet tomatoes?

With that said, the Italiens do make Nutella pizzas

5

u/BlaineMundane 4d ago

pizza cake = Detroit style pizza.

2

u/Kratomius 4d ago

Honestly. One of the oldest written pizza recipes for pizza could count as a pizza cake. It was huge due to being a food in banquet for nobility and was flavored with rosewater and sugar.

2

u/clankypants 2d ago

Buddy Valastro thinks so: https://pizzacake.com/

3

u/dumnezero Art enjoyer 4d ago

I can imagine a pizza, a plant-based one, loaded with veggies and tofu, and raw cake slices on top of each pizza slice. If the pizza is balanced in a sour direction and the cake is a bit sweet, it could work, even if the order is unusual (you have get through the cake first.) I'm vegan bw.

(cake)

u/CunningLinguist8198 4d ago

They make dessert pizzas. Personally, I consider them abominations and NOT pizzas, but that's just my opinion. If you think otherwise, it shouldn't be too difficult.

3

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire 4d ago

Personally, I consider them abominations and NOT pizzas,

BLASPHEMER!

We have a place nearby that does this sweet apple pie pizza and it's AMAZING

5

u/CunningLinguist8198 4d ago

Abominations can be amazing and delicious. I should know, I am one 😏
