Pizza Math

volume of pizza

The volume of a cylindrical object is Pi (π) times the radius squared, times the height. So if your radius is “z” and your height is “a” you get: πz^2a or Pi(z*z)a. See? a little math never hurt anyone, especially when its pizza-centric math. Someone please look into why we aren’t introducing more pizzas into math classrooms everywhere.

Hot Fresh Pizza, Coming to a Printer Near You

Posted on:

Imagine seeing a beautiful photo of a pizza that looked so delicious, you wished you could just reach out and grab it. Not at all unlike this very photo here:

mozzarella, sausage, bacon, pepperoni, peppers, and eggplant pizza

Now imagine if you could hit the “print” button on your computer, and have real pizza straight from your printer.

This is not Star Trek. This is not sci-fi. This is reality. Okay, almost reality. NASA recently awarded a grant of $125,000 to Anjan Contactor, a systems engineer at Systems and Materials Research Corporation in Austin, TX to build a prototype for a food synthesizer or “food printer.” The idea is that the printer will provide food for astronauts traveling long distances. Contractor has already successfully printed chocolate. His next step, pizza.

How it works:
Carbs, macro, and micro nutrients are turned into powder and loaded into cartridges, similar (at least in concept) to loading ink cartridges into a standard printer. With the moisture sucked out, the shelf-life of the ingredients can be extended to up to 30 years. The astronauts are then able to mix together the different food cartridges, like ingredients, to create a wide array of meals.

Can I get a slice of that?

“Can I get a slice of that?”

So for example, to print a pizza: Contractor’s system would “print” a sheet of dough, then tomato sauce, (powdered tomato mixed with oil and water). The pizza would then be finished with a layer of protein (from animals, milk or plants). Not exactly gourmet pizza, but pizza nonetheless.

In addition to satisfying the munchies of astronauts on long term voyages, Contractor also has hopes of more earthly applications for his food synthesizer. The engineer hopes that his invention can be used to help end world hunger. The “pizza printer” is not yet a reality, but these first steps show great promise.

Want to get your hands on the real deal? Stop by Popup Pizza for some out of this world Fremont Street pizza.

Vegan Pizza Ideas for Health Conscious Pizza Lovers

Posted on:

When you think of the word “vegan,” what do you think of? Leaves? Kale? A lifetime of foraging for nuts and berries? What about pizza? Yes, it’s true, being vegan doesn’t mean foregoing this delicious treat. With a little substitution and creativity, you can enjoy your pizza guilt-free. Here’s what you need to know about making a vegan pizza.

Yes, this pizza is 100% vegan.

Alternatives to Cheese

The most obvious obstacle to address when making a vegan pizza is the cheese. Not to worry, there are a variety of vegan cheeses available at health food stores. Or you could create a vegan “cheese” of your own like this silken tofu mozzarella pizza or this cashew based cheese. Whatever you go with, remember to take into account the balance of flavor between your cheese and your vegetables.

Cheese-less Pizza

If you’re looking to save calories or just really love the fresh flavor of vegetables then cheese-less pizza is your choice. It’s filling, nutritious, and with the limitless variety of vegetable combinations, the options for tastes are endless. As an added bonus, you’re able to experiment with much bolder flavors like this zucchini, red onion and pistachio pizza, or this Hawaiian BBQ jackfruit pizza.

A Moment to Talk About Crust

Looking to cut out carbs, gluten, or yeast? Pizza crust without traditional flour is possible if you know where to look. For example, did you know you can use cauliflower to make pizza crust? If you’re feeling adventurous, you could also use chickpeas or eggplant.

Of course, if you’re craving that hot, fresh, straight-from-the-pizzeria goodness, head over to Pop Up Pizza. Yeah, we have gluten free vegan pizza right in downtown Las Vegas. There’s no shortage of Fremont street food that’s vegan friendly, so stop by or give us a call at (702) 366-0049.
