FT. MYERS, Fla. — A pizzeria in southwest Florida has come up with a unique solution to the state's fight against an infestation of invasive pythons.
Evan's Neighborhood Pizza in Fort Myers offers up a pie that includes a scrumptious topping of fresh python.
The restaurant's "Everglades" pizza contains just about every living creature you'd find in the Sunshine State's swamps; frog, alligator, swamp cabbage and python.
Daniell estimates he has sold about 150 of the pizzas the last two years.
Owner Evan Daniell tells the New York Daily News the unusual concoction has been surprisingly popular, "We're selling them left and right. It's a happy accident; it's about being creative."

That's not too bad considering the price, a medium 14-inch Everglades pie goes for $45.
That's because python meat can cost about $66 per pound.
Daniell reportedly has considered creating a "roadkill" pizza, which would include raccoon, armadillo and possum but has had trouble finding a supplier for the specialty meats.
