Hopefully you're hungry, because if you hadn't already realized, it's pizza month! If ever there was an excuse to splurge on delicious deliveries every day it's this, right? Not that excuses are needed...
If you're like us and you love seriously great design almost as much as a slice of pizza, combining the two is really an obvious choice. Being a food that makes just about everybody happy, pizza logos are often quite fun and creative, and certainly a feast for the eye.
As your special pizza month design treat, here are a few of our current favorite pizza logos (when you're done with these, you can check out more pizza logos here). We've decided to focus on the use of logotypes and how they can be implemented successfully.

King Dough
We love the punky feel of this logo, with its strong graphics mixed with pattern. It's a style that makes sense to combine with an all-uppercase logotype.
Applying the logotype with the same line weight as the graphics makes this logo sing. We also love the interaction between the logotype and logomark, like the type slanting in the same shape as the crust of the pizza slice and the outermost letter stems extending downward, echoing the lines of melting cheese.
Little Theo's Pizza
The logotype being slab serif and slightly off alignment (in regards to each letter) makes this pizza joint playful and almost kid-like, perfectly representing the brand.
With the outline of the logo red and quite bold, the logotype is also very clearly legible, which can be a challenge for more elaborate fonts. Even having each word in different sizes suggests the playful side of this pizza joint.
Five Points Pizza
Simplistic and bold, with minimal colors, this logo is all about the font. Using the same uppercase font for the whole logotype creates solid branding and makes the design strong and memorable. It's almost as if the graphic is purely the outline of the text, which makes it less distracting and creates a unified image.
Sarelle Pizzeria
Logo Design by gjones
This is a great example of a very traditional pizza logo. The handwritten font used for "Sarelle" and "Family Serving Friends" creates an immediate cultural nod to Italy, and feels personable and family-oriented.
Making "Pizzeria" uppercase, a different font, and bold, targets the audience and communicates the theme of the restaurant.
Domino's Pizza
Not only is this pizza giant killing it in business, they're logo is also outstanding.
This is a great example of how to handle slanted logos – the angle of the design creates movement and interest, but the simplicity and clarity of the sans-serif font make the logotype clearly legible without the need to tilt your head.
This is also an ingenious way of combining their eponymous domino piece with a rectangle to create the square shape of a pizza box.
