Cone-Shaped Pizza Chain Expands To Northern California

An Italian company that makes cone-shaped pizza is opening latest U.S. location near the University of California-Berkeley campus. The menu of Kono Pizza, which has 12 other locations around the U.S., features Classic Kones (cheese, meat, sausage, pepperoni and vegetable), Dessert Kones (tiramisu, nutella, cannoli, etc.), and smaller Kids Kones in cheese or peanut butter and jelly. The dough and sauces are imported from Italy and the cones are made to order using a low-skim, low-moisture cheese. They are layered with sauce, cheese and toppings in a vertical fashion before being baked in a special oven. Baking takes only three minutes, making it a perfect on-the-go option, the company says.
