The Pinterest-popularized "mug food" is a dish made by mixing ingredients in a coffee mug and zapping it to "bake." The mug brownie is the recipe that started it all; from there, mug enthusiasts moved to mug pumpkin pie, mug doughnuts and mug cheesecake (ew).
In the Chicago Tribune test kitchen, we skipped the sweet stuff and went for a savory mug food that's been trending lately: the pizza mug. The thought of having pizza readily available in 90 seconds seems like a dream come true. Throw some common ingredients (flour, baking soda, oil, milk, tomato sauce and cheese) into a mug, nuke for 90 seconds, and voila! Mug pizza is born. But is it good?
