July 5th is National Bikini Day, apparently, and to properly celebrate the national holiday [Villa Italian Kitchen](https://www.facebook.com/VillaItalianKitchen/) has concocted a cheese-and-pepperoni pie that only the most fashion-forward among us can actually wear, as [Delish reports.](http://www.delish.com/food-news/news/a54026/real-pizza-bikini-villa-italian-kitchen/) The pizza-kini isn’t just for looks, though. It is made from homemade dough, whole milk cheese, freshly sliced pepperoni, and sauce made from California tomatoes, according to Villa Italian Kitchen’s [Facebook post](https://www.facebook.com/VillaItalianKitchen/photos/a.407183233566.184417.64497808566/10155333037683567/?type=3). As with most haute couture (or, perhaps _hot_ couture, is more appropriate in this case) the eye brow-raising look is fully bespoke thanks to close consultations with a pizza-kini stylist, who will cook up a made-to-measure suit for anyone willing to dole out the jaw-dropping price—the [pizza-kini](http://www.delish.com/food/a42981/pizza-bikini/) sells for a cool $10,000\. At that cost, customers are able to choose the standard toppings to top their pizza-kini. Get ’em while they’re hot, though, not because there is anything wrong with cold [pizza](http://time.com/4718663/pizza-wedding-cake/?iid=sr-link7), but because the show-stopping, mouth-watering bikini is available in limited quantities and for one day only. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4838963/pizza-bikini/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4838963/pizza-bikini/"},"headline":"Luxuriate in the Era of Convenience With a $10,000 Bikini Made of Actual Pizza","datePublished":"2017-06-29T15:42:31.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:45:00.198Z","description":"Why get your pizza delivered, when you can wear it to the pool instead","url":"https://time.com/4838963/pizza-bikini/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Internet","Pizza","fashion","food and drink"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt02e300a8819f75dc/6988d3edab6d77469d6aec81/pizza.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt02e300a8819f75dc/6988d3edab6d77469d6aec81/pizza.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Pizza","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4838963/pizza-bikini/","name":"Luxuriate in the Era of Convenience With a $10,000 Bikini Made of Actual Pizza"}}]}] ```
