I think Slayer fans are hysterical.  Over the years, I've met a ton of them and they are strange people.  Honestly, I dig their fans more than I dig the band.

With that in mind, a chef in Minnesota has just invented a new item that Slayer fans would definitely love, if only they could afford to dine out.  The Slayer pizza is the creation of Chef John Hurkes, who works at The Bulldog NE in downtown Minneapolis.

The Slayer pizza is cut in the shape of the pentagram and covered in "spattered blood" (sauce) to resemble their classic album Reign in Blood.

Here's an awesome review of the pizza from the Rice and Bread food blog, “Behold, the Slayer pizza. A vast sadistic feast, the only way to eat it is going piece by piece. The flour was stone ground from 350 communion wafers and kneaded together on an altar of sacrifice. It’s baked at a chilly 400 degrees and finished as the communion wafer crust starts to burn. These delicious ingredients were almost all purveyed from California, where it is said that thrash metal has its roots. As the pizza is sliced and “Angel of Death” is unleashed, you will scream along with the first taste. The smooth tang of the sheep’s milk cheese is offset in quintessential madness with the handcrafted salami. Like Jesus on the cross, heavy guitars rip through meat and cheese, exposing the unholy red sauce underneath. With the whirlwind beating of drums and those classic Slayer riffs, the pizza is soaked with a torrential altar wine gastrique. Raining blood from a lacerated pie! It should take just under 30 minutes to finish, and with six and a half years worth of communion bread servings you might want to share it with your friends.”

I actually ate at The Bulldog NE during a recent trip to Minneapolis.  Sadly, they didn't have the Slayer Pizza on the menu when I was there.  But they did serve cheese curds, which is a must have upper midwest staple, and had an excellent selection of craft beers.
