New-to-the-States Pizza Cone?

[CoolBreeze]

This should sell well here in WV (when it arrives...if ever). What could sell better around here than an ice cream cone in one hand and a pizza cone in the other?

A group of investors and Italian inventors have handpicked a long-time Indianapolis bakery to help bring to the U.S. a newfangled food called Pizza Cone.

Pizza Cone is exactly what it sounds like: A cone made of pizza dough stuffed with ingredients like cheese, pepperoni and pizza sauce and then eaten on the go like an ice cream cone.

Taylor's Bakery, founded in 1913, has signed an agreement with Hilton Head, S.C.-based Pino Gelato to be the sole producer of the cone for all of North America.

The cone already is available in Italy, Japan, Korea and Australia, where it is marketed as Pizza Hands.

Right now the cone is being sold only in Hilton Head at Fantini's retail store. The company still is completing licensing and legal deals for the cone.

Fantini says several varieties of cones will be on the market, including Mexican-stuffed, Jersey-style hot dog and a breakfast cone.

The average price for a cone, which holds the ingredients of a slice-and-a-half of pizza, is $3.25 to $3.50.

Somehow I envision Danny Jones setting up Pizza Cone booths at all the Boulevard events. Maybe he could give out user fee tokens when you buy a six pack of them.

My only question is: Given how obvious this is, what has taken so long for it to get here?
