PHOTO: Limited edition Orbán pizza introduced in a Hungarian town

PM Viktor Orbán is to celebrate the start of the 1848 Hungarian revolution and freedom fight in Kiskőrös, South Hungary. A local pizza maker immediately realised the market gap and created the so-called Orbán pizza. However, the product will only be available in a limited time interval.

Local pizza named after the prime minister

According to index.hu, Pizzaphone Pizzéria, a local pizza maker in Kiskőrös, created a so-called Viktor Orbán Pizza for 15 March, the Day of Hungary’s 1848 Revolution. That is when the Hungarian prime minister is scheduled to speak in the town, also the birthplace of Sándor Petőfi, one the most popular Hungarian poets and a freedom fighter of 1848-1849. For example, even Chinese students must learn one of his poems by heart titled Szabadság, szerelem. Among the toppings of the new pizza, you may find even orange, the symbol of Orbán’s governing Fidesz party.

It is not surprising that Orbán illustrated his Facebook post announcing his visit and speech with the birth house of Petőfi in Kiskőrös:

Thus, a local pizza maker will bake Orbán pizzas between 12 March and 19 March. The ingredients are the following: BBQ, honey base, chicken breast strips, cheese, orange, and jalapeno. The small version will cost HUF 3,530 (EUR 9.21), and you will have to pay HUF 3,810 (EUR 9.94) for a large one. Will you go with the family? There will be an extra large version for HUF 10,330 (EUR 27).

Of course, users already flocked to the comment section of the pizzeria’s post. Dániel Bohár and Dániel Deák, both government-supporting analysts and journalists, said they would like to taste the Orbán pizza on 15 March.

Before, they baked e.g. terrorist pizzas

Interestingly, the Pizzaphone Pizzéria in Kiskőrös invented several strange pizzas in the last few years. For example, in 2016, they were in the news with the following ones: “migrant”, “terrorist”, “Syrian”, and “Ahmed”. 2015 and 2016 marked the peak of the migrant crisis in Hungary.

Imre Rózsa said that one of the comments below the post said they should serve the “terrorist” pizza with Bomba energy drink. And he found that a good idea.

He added they intended to provoke with the names. They wanted people to find them either funny or outrageous. He said they never saw a migrant in Kiskőrös and acquired all information about the migrant crisis from the news. That is interesting because Kiskőrös is not far from the Southern border, where the government erected a border fence to keep the illegal migrants out from Hungary and the EU.
