American museum and pizzeria
Pizza Brain is a pizza culture museum and pizzeria based in the Pennsylvania . It is home to the world's largest collection of pizza memorabilia and collectibles.[1] the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia .
History
[ edit ]
In May 2010, Kensington-based artist Brian Dwyer, along with Christopher Powell , organized "Give Pizza Chance"—Philadelphia 's first pizza-based art show—in which pizza was served as the muse for more than 25 artists who displayed their work at a local gallery.[2]
In October 2010, Dwyer met Carter at Circle of Hope's (a local church) annual mapping meeting. Dwyer shared his enthusiasm for collecting pizza-related objects with Carter. Carter's background led him to suggest the idea of presenting the items in a museum format.
In late Fall 2010, Joe Hunter, a pizza chef from South Carolina, joined Carter and Dwyer. By January 2011, a master carpenter, Ryan Anderson, helped to identify a pair of buildings in the Fishtown section of Philadelphia in which to locate their project.

On September 7, 2012, Pizza Brain opened its doors to the public.
