Pizza Brain's quite-literal draft logo

Pizza Brain on TwitPic
Our Jan. 21 post on Brian Dwyer's in-the-works Pizza Brain garned great reaction, so we figured we'd share this draft of the Fishtown pizza hub's mascot, named "Peppy." (It's by artist Ethan Harper.) Pretty sure this is what the inside of our skull would look like on an MRI.

The pizza community has been begging for this day.
While there's always room for another place to get a great slice in Philadelphia, it seems like the people of the world are finally going to have a Mecca worthy of pizza pilgrimage.
Anthony Bourdain's gonna be all over this, and so will that blonde spiky haired dude from the TGI Fridays commercials. 
WE EAT WHAT WE LIKE!

In addition to Peppy I think they need a classic mythology complete with a Hamburglar-style villain and a sidekick.

I have had this condition before. Pizza Brain seems to run in my family. There will be some days when I will sneeze and whole slices of pizza will come out my nose! The worst time I ever got pizza brain was when I got a large chicken and white sauce pizza. I got pizza vision along with pizza brain and proceeded to eat the entire thing. I hope Peppy does a better job of controlling his pizza brain!

Thanks everybody! :)

P.S. As the article states, this is not the FINAL image/mascot for our dear, future pizza shop, but simply a first daft (the 'red on his head' Bridget mentioned is just some reflected light off the ink in the photo I took with my cell phone);  Updated/final version to come!

he's so ready to eat the slices that are INSIDE his head, what a dominator.

Friends!  Philadelphians!  'Za-loving countrymen!  Lend me your brains!

:)

Let me know what you think of our preliminary 'Peppy' here, won't you please?
And spread the word about the 'Brain, from the wilds of Philly to...the ends of the known galaxy!

Hope you like it (and will do that for us),
looking forward to seeing you all in the fall (when 'Pizza Brain' will hopefully open),
and thanks for stopping by, Philadelphia ;)

Duuuuudes!

This makes me want to be a pizza brain surgeon!

Can I get an MRI with all the toppings?!

Do a brainwave scan and you'd be hearing something that sounds like the fat boys rapping over a remix of the TMNT theme song... HOTTT!
