The first-ever pizza party in space is getting sky-high reviews.Astronauts at the International Space Station(ISS) posted pictures and a video over the weekend of their small, made-from-scratch pizza pies.

The fixings flew up last month on a commercial supply ship, and the crew wasted little time pulling out the flatbread, tomato sauce, cheese, pepperoni, olives, olive oil, anchovy paste and pesto.After making their own individual-size pizzas, the six astronauts tossed and twirled them like floating Frisbees, before heating and devouring them.publive-image

There were of course some technical issues, with the Expedition 53 crew needing to fasten the ingredients to a table with Velcro.

Commander Randy Bresnik called the pizzas “flying saucers of the edible kind , had a blast channeling our inner chef by building tasty pizzas for movie night.”

Bresnik added “The IPDS (Intergalactic Pizza Devouring Squad) says 12 thumbs up!”

NASA's space station manager, Kirk Shireman, took pity on Italian astronaut Paolo Nespoli's pizza craving and, in mid-November, shipped up all the ingredients on an Orbital ATK capsule. Nespoli, in orbit since July, declared the pizza “unexpectedly delicious.”

Nespoli has just over a week before returning to true Italian cuisine. He will land in Kazakhstan on Dec. 14, along with Bresnik and a Russian.
