Pizzabon. Can the apocalypse be far behind?

The Pizzabon, Cinnabon's Improbable Foray Into Pizza

Baked goods chain Cinnabon, a place of deep self-loathing, has opened an outpost in Atlanta's Cumberland Mall that will also serve as a testing ground for new menu items like cupcakes, breakfast sandwiches, and a thing called The Pizzabon.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, which broke the news, doesn't dwell too much on the latter creation, but it looks exactly the way it sounds: a savory version of the famous, sizeable Cinnabon circle with melted cheese, pepperoni, and tomato sauce on top. Kind of like a Bagel Bite, except its the size of a cinnamon roll. Tweeted the paper's restaurant critic John Kessler, "Just got a press release about Cinnabon's new Pizzabon. Wanna hear more or just let that sit with ya for a spell?"

Probably not as good as Pizza-in-a-Cup, but I'd try it. Buns_of_Fire Aug 2012 #1
It's way better than Pizza-on-a-Stick, though. customerserviceguy Aug 2012 #2
Now you've done it. You've given the concessionaires at next year's state fairs a whole new idea. Buns_of_Fire Aug 2012 #5
Too late--they've already done it: pinboy3niner Aug 2012 #6

I can see the banners now: HERE! DEEP-FRIED PIZZA-ON-A-STICK! STATE FAIR PRIZE WINNER! HERE!

(And here I thought they'd reached the apex of culinary art with deep-fried bubble gum. At least we still have deep-fried bubble-gum pizza-on-a-stick left to look forward to.)

"Oh, this is the best pizza in a cup ever. This guy is unbelievable. He ran the old Cup 'o Pizza guy out of business. People come from all over to eat this."
