With what seems like another pizzeria on every other corner, I have also tried many types and styles of the delicious and cheesy treat. Slices, squares, thin crust, deep dish, on a bagel, on an english muffin, with toppings or plain. I thought I had seen and eaten it all.<\/p>\n<p>I was wrong. I must eat what few pizza-lovers have ever eaten before \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/product\/pizza-cone-kit?source=blog\">the pizza cone<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hypothesis<\/strong><br \/>\nPizza is already awesome.

As per the included instructions, I wanted a flat piece of dough measuring about an 1\/8 of an inch all around. The dough should be wide enough to cut out two bell-shaped molds that would form two pizza cones.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/\/2012\/gift-lab-pizza-cones-kit\/collage2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-19688\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19688\" title=\"Gift Lab: Pizza Cones Kit | UncommonGoods\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/collage2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/collage2.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/collage2-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/collage2-254x134.jpg 254w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a>Once you have the initial pieces cut, you fold them over in half and crimp the edges sealed.

I removed them from the oven and let them cool before removing them from the pizza cone forms and placing them upright in the pizza cone stands. I brought over the rest of the ingredients and got to work filling the cones with sauce, cheese, and other toppings (sliced pepperoni in the pictures). Like an artist finishing his masterpiece, I used my spoon to splash sauce along the inner walls of the cone. I sprinkled cheese throughout until it filled up completely. I cleverly hid pepperonis in any unused pockets of air.<\/p>\n<p>After a few more minutes in the oven, right up until the insides start bubbling, I was able to meet my creation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/\/2012\/gift-lab-pizza-cones-kit\/collage1\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-19687\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19687\" title=\"Gift Lab: Pizza Cones Kit | UncommonGoods\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/collage1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/collage1.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/collage1-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/collage1-185x124.jpg 185w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><br \/>\nI was wary at first.
