While earlier in the week, Kimmel promised his audience that he would “[go back to talking about the Kardashians!](https://youtu.be/jtx7aTdaVzM)” after fighting against the Graham-Cassidy health care bill, on Tuesday night’s episode of _Jimmy Kimmel Live!_ the host once again used his monologue to preach about an evil he saw in the world, namely, pumpkin spice pizza. “Is nothing sacred?” complained Kimmel. The pizza in question comes from Villa Italian Kitchen, the people who brought the world [the real pizza bikini ](http://time.com/4838963/pizza-bikini/)that no one wanted. They have done it again with their [pizza](http://time.com/4718663/pizza-wedding-cake/?iid=sr-link7) covered in pumpkin spice, which Kimmel noted were “two things that go together like peanut butter and snow tires.” “Whether or not you think pumpkin spice is good on pizza, I think we can all agree that pumpkin spice is not good on pizza, okay?” Kimmel said. Kimmel wasn’t the only late night host to weigh in on the pumpkin spice pizza. Seth Meyers tackled the topic earlier in the week, comparing it to a “[linguine mocha](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaGJ2VmhEK0)”. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4958885/jimmy-kimmel-on-pumpkin-spice-pizza/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4958885/jimmy-kimmel-on-pumpkin-spice-pizza/"},"headline":"Jimmy Kimmel Takes a New Stand Against the Threat of Pumpkin Spice Pizza","datePublished":"2017-09-27T15:05:16.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:47:36.723Z","description":"Kimmel hates pumpkin spice pizza almost as much as hated the health care bill","url":"https://time.com/4958885/jimmy-kimmel-on-pumpkin-spice-pizza/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","Jimmy Kimmel","jimmy kimmel live","pumpkin spice","Late Night Comedy"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf989fec95f01432d/6988df98929fada407bedd93/kimmel.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/bltf989fec95f01432d/6988df98929fada407bedd93/kimmel.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"kimmel","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/4958885/jimmy-kimmel-on-pumpkin-spice-pizza/","name":"Jimmy Kimmel Takes a New Stand Against the Threat of Pumpkin Spice Pizza"}}]}] ```
