I had never heard of it before today, but apparently, pizza in a cone is a big thing in Seoul Korea. They call it "Cone Pizza." The website is in Korean, but the picture explains it better than any words - the crust is rolled up into a cone shape and all the fillings are inside. I assume this make it much easier and cleaner to eat while on the run - no sauce and cheese slipping off the crust in one gooey mess. Of course, the question is, do they have kimchee pizza?
I'm not sure if it's available in the US, though there are websites that show that KonoPizza is available in Italy and Crispy Cones, with more than just pizza, is trying to get franchise outlets in the New York area.

I would hope that one of those is a kimchi pizza cone!

I've actually seen these for sale at my local movie theater! The Bridge Cinema in Culver City, CA. Haven't tried it, but it seems like an easier way to eat pizza during a movie.

oh good gracious, chris, are you telling me that there are pizza cones right here in LA?!? and just down the street from me in marina/culver!?!?
i may have to go and try one, though i wonder if they would let me into the theater without a ticket just to try the thing!

That seems like a lot of toppings in each bite, a little intense.

Loads of toppings on the top of the cone to very little toppings left at the bottom of the cone. I rather just fold a large slice of pizza.

If you want something just like that locally, try a calzone or stromboli.

I was instantly reminded of Steve Martin's "The Jerk". In that classic movie, his character worked for a time at a carnival's "Pizza in a Cup" franchise.

Reminds me of Calvin Trillin's writing about Goldberg's Pizza. it doesn't seem like a bad idea, but I can't begin to imagine how to make this at home. The only thing I don't think I would like is that the ratio of topping too crust seems too high for my tastes.

Well, going off my experience of what food advertisements show and the actual end product, I dont think there would be so much filling inside the cone. Sure it looks tasty but realistically, as noted above, its a bit much. This is one ad where I wouldnt mind if they were fibbing and skimped some.
If this is true, I bet its good but probably not too much different had it been in calzone or folded pizza form. Configured differently, same stuff = same taste (1+2=3)=(2+1=3).
