When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie. That’s amore.
It seems like Domino’s Pizza is capitalizing on those famous lyrics by Dean Martin by selling a $9,000 engagement ring shaped like a pizza slice.
On Monday, Domino’s Australia showed off a design for a diamond-encrusted, pizza slice-shaped engagement ring in hopes that the lucky partner of a pizza enthusiast will say “I cheese you” to their love … and a pepperoni slice at the same time.

“Does someone have a ‘pizza’ your heart? We’re giving one lucky pizza lover the chance to pop the question with this diamond pizza slice engagement ring,” Domino’s Australia tweeted.
According to the pizza chain, the ring is worth more than $9,000, and in order to win the one-of-a-kind pizza bling, one must fill out an entry form along with the submission of a 30-second video detailing “how you will involve pizza in your proposal.”
It goes without saying, hiding the ring in a pizza slice likely won’t be the best way to propose. It would result in more shattered teeth than future wedded bliss.
It’s not known whether the contest is open to pizza lovers outside of Australia.

A local pizza joint is under fire after an employee allegedly refused service to a gay customer.
Jeremy Mizu filmed a video of an argument he had with the Gino’s Pizza employee in the Yonge St.-Eglinton Ave. area location Friday night.
“Last night I was called a f—– and told to leave store because I opened the door and it was cold,” tweeted Mizu.
Last night I was called a faggot and told to leave store because I opened the door and it was cold. This is the worker after the manager had been standing up for him. Here he is calling me a faggot and smirking. http://t.co/PJlns46rZK

In the 16-second video, Mizu is heard saying to a man wearing a red and white Gino’s Pizza shirt, “I can film you. I’m allowed.”
“You are?” responds the worker. “Because you are a f—–?”
The video has been watched more than 27,000 times.
The caption in the tweet — also shared by LGBTQ rights advocate Rob Gill — states Mizu was denied service “for being gay and was called a f—–.”
Toronto man Jeremy Mizu was denied service at @GinosPizzaCDN (Yonge & Eg in Toronto) for being gay and was called a “faggot”.

I opened the door once. The Irish girls were with me and were telling the manager how it’s unacceptable and we want a refund. They did not give us said refund. But either way to call me a faggot several times for opening the door? Still unacceptable. http://t.co/m2V31BNxqW

Gino’s Pizza replied on Twitter, thanking people for bringing the incident to their attention and confirmed the employee has been fired.
“Gino’s Pizza management has been investigating this issue. This was clearly a violation of our staff conduct policies and code of ethics that all our employees must adhere to,” the company wrote in a statement.
Thank you all for bringing this to our attention. We’re taking this matter very seriously. The employee involved has been terminated. pic.twitter.com/6BtSs1JEC9

“We take this matter extremely seriously and as a result, the employee involved has been terminated. Gino’s Pizza is a supporter of the LGBTQ community and apologizes for the actions of this former employee.”

Things were hot-n-ready inside an Augusta, Ga., pizzeria Monday afternoon.

According to the New York Post, a fight erupted between two customers of a Little Caesars when 25-year-old Brittany Kennedy allegedly got in the face of Emily Broadwater, 22, and yanked the chair from under her, officials from the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office noted.


Much like everything in today’s digital world, the alleged smackdown was captured on video.

In the viral 41-second video filmed by a bystander, screaming can be heard as Broadwater is seen being beaten by Kennedy repeatedly as she’s grabbed by the hair.

During the melee, a toddler can be seen joining in on the fight, as someone shouts “move the baby” repeatedly. The young girl is eventually pulled to safety.

Broadwater tries to mount a comeback but fails as Kennedy fights back and punches her opponent about two dozen times, creating a crimson mask in the process. Kennedy then can be seen dragging Broadwater out of the pizzeria by the hair before being thrown to the ground and getting a stomp to her head.


Broadwater screams “My baby!” as she picks herself off the ground with blood dripping from her nose. It’s not known what provoked the fight.

The Post reported that a wanted poster was issued for Kennedy, who is being sought on assault charges. Cops say Broadwater suffered a “severely swollen” and lacerated bottom lip from the brawl and the woman refused a hospital trip.

Video shows Pizza Pizza customer fishing out plastic glove from pie

A pizza-loving Ontarian dug into his pie and was shocked to discover a plastic glove baked into their food.

The video, obtained by blogTO, shows a peek of blue appearing from underneath his Pizza Pizza pie’s topping.


But instead of mould or some funky blue cheese, the man’s fingers dug into the slice and beginning pulling on something stretchy and plastic.

“What is this? The f***? There’s plastic here,” the shocked customer says in the video.

The horrified man continued to do the same with another slice and couldn’t believe what he unearthed.

“That’s someone’s f***ing glove,” he added. “That’s f***ing disgusting.”



People on social media were equally disgusted and vowed never to order from the pizza chain again, others were more forgiving.

“They don’t touch the food with their bare hands,” one user wrote. “How this is being framed as a bad thing is beyond me.”

Another simply commented: “Wrong size gloves … they shouldn’t be coming off the hand that easy.”

A third person accused the act of being “intentional.”

“That could never happen accidentally,” they explained. “Plus anything made of plastic would never last in a 500 degree oven.”

However, some haters also chimed in.

“The gloves taste better than the Pizza Pizza slice,” one person commented.

“Reason 27 why I don’t eat their pizza,” a second commenter wrote.

The customer said he bought the pizza on Monday from a Pizza Pizza in Aurora, he told the website.

After complaining to the store, someone from head office reached out to him and offered him a “credit or refund.”

Super-cheesy pizza pie and other offbeat offerings

RECORD-BREAKING ‘ZA FOR SERIOUS CHEESE LOVERS ONLY

What would you consider the cheesiest of pizzas?


One that has more than 1,000 varieties of cheese, of course.

In France, a pair of pizza chefs tag-teamed with a cheesemaker and a YouTuber to create a pie topped with 1,001 different varieties of cheese.

According to Guinness World Records, pizza experts Benoit Bruel and Fabien Montellanico worked with YouTuber Florian OnAir and cheesemaker Sophie Hatat Richart-Luna on a pie that broke the record for most varieties of cheese on a pizza.



The previous record was set by Bruel in 2020, when he made a pizza topped with 254 cheeses. That was later broken by Morgan Niquet, who baked a pie with 834 different cheeses.

In addition to most varieties of cheese, the new pizza also set a world record for largest display of cheese varieties, which was previously set at 730 by Philippe Marchand in 2016, UPI reported.

Of the 1,001 cheeses on the pizza, 940 originated from France, Bruel said, while the remaining cheese came from around the world.

Ontario Pizza Hut location becomes famous for hilarious ‘circumcisions’ typo

Thanks for nothing, autocorrect.


A pizza shop in northern Ontario has become a viral sensation — but not for its food.


A Pizza Hut in Timmins was forced to close its doors at the last minute, posting a sign on its door to let customers know.

But in hindsight, perhaps it was a little too much information to share with potential diners.

“Due to unforeseen circumcisions, the dining room will be closed this evening!!,” read the note, apologizing for the inconvenience but explaining takeout and delivery was still available.

Naturally, photos of the sign were shared across local Facebook groups and spread like wildfire across all social media platforms.

“The perfect typo doesn’t exi–,” X user @adamgreattweet wrote, sharing the photo with his more than 60,000 followers.



Star Trek star George Takei also shared the post with a witty caption of his own: “Typos are my worst enema!”

The actor’s post has been viewed more than 85,000 times.

The Timmins and District Hospital Foundation even cashed in on the action, using the sign to promote its 50/50 draw deadline.

“Hey Timmins Pizza Hut….. stick to pizza, we’ll handle the circumcisions!”



Marc Girard, the restaurant’s general manager, had fun with his location’s newfound fame and added a new sign — along with a new deal for customers.

“We at Pizza Hut appreciate all our loyal customers!!!,” he captioned the new sign that began very clearly with, “In light of recent CIRCUMSTANCES…”
