A little over a year ago, the owners of Evan’s Neighborhood Pizza had an idea: Why not put python on a pizza? Thus, their Everglades pizza was born. But it’s not just snake on a pie. Owner Evan Daniell adds whole frog legs and alligator sausage for extra flair. He gets the python from Vietnam for roughly $66 per pound. The frog legs come from China, and the gator from the local fish market. “It’s $45 for a 14-in. pie,” says Daniell, "so I didn’t know if it would last. But people come across the coast to get it now, and we’ll get guys on dares and people coming out to order one for their birthday.” What does python taste like? “Like a snake,” jokes Daniell. “We marinate it in Italian dressing to take away some of the gamey flavor.”
