Mothman Pizza

The Charleston Daily Mail is running a story on May 30, 2006, about Point Pleasant’s Village Pizza Inn making the “scariest pizza you’ve ever seen.”

Apparently, it is a local secret as the specialty doesn’t actually appear on the printed menu — but it is made on request.

Dubbed the “Mothman Pizza,” this round 19-inch pie features the winged, crimson-eyed creature atop its crisp, crunchy dough. Here’s what Mr. Mothman looks like in edible pizza form: His eyes are two round red cherry peppers with tiny green olives as the pupils. His eyeballs are encircled by green peppers. His torso consists of delicious pepperoni. Sliced mushrooms serve as his wings, and green peppers make up his feet.

What’s really scary about this, of course, is that the Village Pizza Inn use to be Tiny’s Drive-In. That building was the location at the city limits where the original Mothman stopped and flew off, during the first November 15, 1966, encounter of the Scarberrys-Mallettes.

The article also mentions that “the Iron Gate Grille in downtown Point Pleasant offers a stacked Mothman sandwich.”
