Fell in Love with the Concept of Kono Pizza! Convenient One-Handed Eating, but a Bit Too Hot
Cone Pizza
ThailandBangkok, Terminal 21
- Food Travel Log
- There once existed a fast-food place in Bangkok’s Terminal 21 called "Kono Pizza."
A genius idea of wrapping piping hot cheese pizza in a crispy cone for one-handed enjoyment. But it was too hot when freshly baked. Holding the cone with bare hands was impossible, so it had to be eaten from the box!
It was a fast food ahead of its time, much like Sega. - Taste Rating

- A unique fast food called "Kono Pizza" changed the traditional way of enjoying Italian pizza into a modern and portable form, becoming popular in several countries in the 2000s. It was offered in tourist-heavy locations like Terminal 21 due to its uniqueness and convenience, making it fresh and catchy for people from various countries. However, because its grip was too hot, there was a need to design a special box, and many complained it was too hot to hold, which led to its unfortunate outcome. In contrast, in Thailand, it was enjoyed as a rare fusion of food cultures, but quickly vanished from sight. Nonetheless, calling it the fast food world’s lost "Sega," like the author did, evokes a somewhat nostalgic sense of wording. Just like with retro games, a bit of humor might be necessary for this nostalgic food experience. Next time, try walking and eating with a fork before suffering from the heat!
