Picture for Pizza Ball inspired by The Eric Andre Show

11,827,442 views The Eric Andre Show, our eponymous host's LSD-soaked nightmare talkshow, has created some of the most maddeningly subversive comedy of the decade. None have captured the imagination of the internet, however, quite like the pizza ball. A gnarled sphere of everyone's favorite cheesy flatbread, the pizza ball (not unlike the show itself) is probably best enjoyed under the influence of something.

In a cast iron skillet, heat 1 inch of vegetable oil to 350°F and add your pizza balls. Flip and fry for about 5 minutes until they are deeply golden brown.
