A pineapple topped with a ban sign as the Joker? Please? Pretty please?

I’ll probably get this deck just because Pizza is one of my favorites. Will wait and see if the tuck box looks nice or if the deck has any features like embossing,foiling or metallic inks

I think you have the potential to make a lot of dough with this deck.

You may notice from the back that this deck is heavily bicycle-inspired. The tuck case will follow the same concept (we will print with USPCC). Anyway there will be some alternate versions.

I agree that the tuck will make this deck. But when I think "pizza" I don't think shiny. I think the tuck should be textured, not foiled. Either way I love the Lorenzo-like proportions on the QoH

Would be cool if the tuck would open up like a little cardboard pizza box.

I didn't even think of that. It probably won't be that way but it would be cool!

She's not really looking at the pizza with her "okay" fingers either.

That symbol is actually one used to signify good food. At least my Italian father always did that. Have you ever ordered pizza and found this guy on the box?:

I think you should credit that proportionality as being a Thirdway Industries property, for sure ....
Quite the Giovanni generosity event happening there.

Seen that guy plenty of times. He doesn't have what she's got.

Wow, that image brings back memories! I want a pizza now!
But seriously, looking forward to seeing more of this deck as I love pizza!

Or have the cards and tuck inside a little pizza box case would be cool too.

Dear friends, I want to show to you some preliminary images not posted anywhere else.
The hearts, true Italian pizza!

The spades, a French (therefore classy) variation on the Italian recipe

@Conturbia: These are fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. I also love, how the custom courts face the "correct" way, keeping us traditionalists happy and making them playable.
For a critique, I think the reds for the indices and pips could be a little darker, like the red colour you have for the pizza heart, and the greens a little darker. While I'd like to see black spades/clubs, green will work, but again, darker might be a tad better. And the back design, nailed it. Could you even push the design to the edges more?
The only thing left are a pizza box tuck, a super fat pizza eating joker stuffing his face with pizza and lots of empty pizza boxes in the background and a naked female joker with pizzas covering the sensual spots!
Reasonably priced with a decent printer, I'm all over these for multiple decks. Well done so far. Again, these are fantastic.

Thank you very much! As for the joker we will probably play with Italian stereotypes, but we are still thinking... the printer will be 99% USPCC, the back design is inspired by the rider back.

We reworked the QoH to make her more "Italian"

The Diamonds will be the americans, because even if pizza is an Italian thing, it's so loved and known in USA, that we just had to include them in the deck
This is a preview of the KoD "fresh from the oven"
