Pizza may be of Italian origin, but let’s face it: It’s as American as apple pie. And no matter where you are in the U.S., you’re bound to find a delicious local variant of the famous food. But pineapple pizza and Chicago-style deep-dish have nothing on what one Florida pizzeria was planning to make. Pizza Mambo in West Palm Beach was recently shut down by authorities due to the presence of unusual meat in its freezer: A whole green iguana! The invasive species has been a local pest in the state for some time now, and residents are encouraged to help cull the surplus population. 

But the store’s owner insists the lizard meat was given to him as a gift. To his credit, the iguana was stored in a different area than the rest of the ingredients, but what on earth would you have an iguana on ice for otherwise? That said, there are some who consider the meat a delicacy — particularly in the form of sausage. Now that’s a pizza topping for the Sunshine State.

As bad as the iguanas are for the state, they have nothing on the invasive pythons that have taken over the Everglades.
