'The detail that turns this from a pizza into a magnum opus is the cheese crown, an outstretched, golden brown filigree that rises an inch above the edge, conjuring Jack Nance’s hair in 'Eraserhead,' writes lucaspeterson.

The detail that turns this from a pizza into a magnum opus is the cheese crown, an outstretched, golden brown filigree that rises an inch above the edge, conjuring Jack Nance’s hair in “Eraserhead.”“I wanted to make something super graphic,” says De Leon. “It’s stimulating.
