🍕 Bitcoin Pizza Day 2025 🍕
We always say that bitcoin will go to the moon, well, that was my main idea behind this year’s design. Theory and practice are two different things, and I admit that I had to redo the pizza because the first time it was a disaster, I wasn’t happy at all with the result.
These are all the ingredients I got:
And these are the pictures of all the different elements that will go on the pizza:
Stars (21 small, 21 big, not a random number), bitcoin symbol and flag made out of two different types of cheddar
Astronaut made using mozzarella (and a mold of course), then I used red pepper for the suit details and eggplant for the helmet visor, these parts were hand-cut:
Explosion effect recreated using three different types of peppers (yellow, orange and red) and a little white cheddar in the middle
Green pepper has been used to create the bitcoin pizza date and the closing price on that day
I wanted the pizza to have a “deep space atmosphere”, so there is a little chemistry involved in the process: I used purple cauliflower to make the sauce on the left and a combination of white cauliflower and red cabbage plus baking soda and a little lemon juice to obtain the blue color for the sauce on the right. I also added some garlic to give some extra flavor (not relevant to the aesthetics, only for the palate)
I pre-baked some small details like moon craters and planet rings
This is how it looks before going into the oven with mozzarella as moon surface and the cauliflower + cabbage sauce for the background
And this is the final result: bitcoin finally conquered the moon!Some close-ups:

To make a Saturn-like planet I used a very red Spanish salami and I baked the ring and covered it in edible gold glitter.
I almost forgot to add my nickname…
Making this pizza required preparing a lot of different elements, and a lot of cutting that often went wrong, but I’m pretty happy with the final result. And I must admit that the cauliflower and garlic sauce tasted better than what I expected.
