The future of cybercurrency may be murky at the moment, but the future of Bitcoin Pizza is crystal clear in Bethesda. Launched last May 22 in 10 cities for only 7 days, Bitcoin Pizza pays tribute to the creator(s) of Bitcoin, and the May 22, 2010 Bitcoin purchase of 2 Papa John's pizzas by software programmer Laszlo Hanyecz. The operation became more formal last fall through a partnership with Popchew, which helps online influencers create and sell delivery menu items through ghost kitchens around the country. Now Bitcoin Pizza is available for delivery here, and every pizza ordered supports the Human Rights Foundation's Bitcoin Development Fund.
While we may never know who "Satoshi Nakamoto" is, the Bitcoin creator has a pizza on the Bitcoin Pizza menu. It includes the pineapple and jalapeno toppings Nakamoto is rumored to favor, along with Canadian bacon, house-made red sauce, and a blend of cheeses freshly-grated. Other options are traditional cheese, "Laser Eyes" with pepperoni, vegetarian "Capital Greens," and "Lightning Meat" with pepperoni, Italian sausage, ham and bacon.
And while we may not know the identity of Satoshi, we can know the identity of where the Bitcoin Pizza ghost kitchens are in Montgomery County. Bethesda's is at Mamma Lucia at Bethesda Row. Silver Spring's is at Mamma Lucia in the Blair Park Shopping Center. But you don't go into those restaurants to get Bitcoin Pizza - like the real Bitcoin, it only exists digitally. So order online.
