While cold-stunned iguanas are falling out of trees in Florida, some people are using the opportunity to cook up some unique dishes. Bucks Coal Fired, a pizzeria in North Palm Beach, mustered their creativity and whipped up an iguana pizza this week. Franky Cecere (pictured above), manager of the restaurant, called it the “Everglades Pizza.” So, exactly how do you make an iguana pizza? First Franky rolled out the pizza dough, then drizzled it with some olive oil, followed by cheese, bacon, and venison meat, and finally topped it off with iguana meat. “This is the first iguana pizza in the history of mankind,” said Franky. Once the pizza was finished baking, he finished it off with some ranch dressing. Local content creator Ryan Izquierdo, who supplied the restaurant with the frozen iguanas, said the iguana meat on the pizza tasted like frog legs. “It’s a little bit sweet,” said Izquierdo. “I can’t really describe it,” he added. The restaurant hopes to add the pizza to their permanent menu in the near future.
