When you don't wanna go down to the pizzeria, whip up these vegan pizzas. Automne Zingg--mastermind behind Comfort Eating with Nick Cave, Defensive Eating with Morrissey, and Enter Sandwich--has illustrated pizza-themed boys-from-Queens homages, as they eat pizza, sneer at pepperoni, and play pizza guitars. Joshua Ploeg's recipes wittily incorporate vaguely familiar lyrics and humor. Pizzas range from traditional marinara with vegetables and veggie sausage (Texas Chain Sauce Massacre) and white sauce specials (Carbonara Not Glue), to variations like Beet on the Brat, Havana Pizza Affair, Thyme Bomb. "Well, I'm Against It," comments Johnny, but you'll find a pineapple pizza recipe in here as well. Pizza is deconstructed, reconstructed, and, like the best bands, turns into something far better than the sum of its parts.
