Welcome

This is the World Wide Website of Pizza!, a five-piece pop band from Los Angeles, California. This site features a lot of cool stuff from the group, including a place to buy their music, transcribed lyrics, and memorabilia. The front page of the website also has up-to-date information about the group, as well as special mp3s and videos. You shouldn’t have to try very hard to find something enjoyable here.

This is what the boys look like:

Manimal Vinyl presents “Bogus Rimshots from the Fourth,” a schizophrenic fifteen-track collection that puts together some of Pizza!’s best work so far.

You can purchase it from iTunes for $9.99 by clicking here.

From boomkat:

“Manimal’s relentless outpouring of LA-spawned new bands continues with its new release from Pizza!, a quintet whose songtitles include ‘Gay “Hotel California”‘ and ‘Iron Fart’. Despite outwardly appearing to be horrendously juvenile, Pizza! are capable of some great psych/synth pop moments. ‘Houses’ is a feel good ditty to be reckoned with, and ‘Christmas Is Air (All Around Us)’ is a wholly commendable (un)festive novelty. Elsewhere, ‘Bird Dreams’ is a nice piece of tuneful, yet surreal experimentation, and ‘(We Be @ She) Summer Spot’ is a neat fusion of jazzy horn solos and clipping electronic breaks. The album feels very fragmented, and at no point do you feel there was ever a unifying vision intended, but that scatterbrained logic translates nicely, and you truly never know what’s coming next.”
