Weird or wow: Brazil's Oreo pizza goes viral. Would you try it?

In a world where culinary boundaries are pushed every other day, one pizza chain in Brazil has sparked a global conversation with a creation that’s as outrageous as it is oddly tempting. Enter the Oreo Pizza — a dessert dish that’s racked up over 7 million views, caused a social media frenzy, and left the internet wondering: is this sweet-and-savoury mash-up a stroke of genius or a full-blown food crime?

The Oreo Pizza: Genius or a crime?

The brainchild of Patos Pizzas, a Brazilian pizza chain known for unconventional toppings, the Oreo Pizza isn’t your average comfort food. It’s a full-blown sugar rush. Picture this: a warm pizza base, soaked in gooey chocolate sauce, generously topped with crushed Oreo cookies and chocolate chips. When squeezed, chocolate visibly oozes out, making it as much a sensory experience as it is a dessert.

In the viral Instagram video shared by the brand, a hand lifts a single slice, giving viewers a front-row seat to the melty madness. The caption? Humble. The reaction? Explosive.

Within hours of the post going live, the video began racking up views and igniting strong opinions. Some viewers were quick to embrace the concept, calling it “the dessert of dreams” and “a must-try for Oreo lovers.” Others were less enthused.

What makes this appealing for some?

What makes this combination simultaneously mouth-watering and horrifying is the nostalgia factor. Pizza and Oreos — two childhood icons — rarely share the same plate, let alone the same bite. But in a social media era where shock value is currency and food videos need to stand out, the Oreo Pizza hits the sweet spot.
