Rare Pizzas FAQ
Hi, I'm Slice Boi!

What are Rare Pizzas?
Rare Pizzas are a collection of 10,000 generative, baked pizza NFTs created in a collaboration between 300+ artists from around the globe.
The proceeds from the sale of these pizza NFTs are used to buy pizza for people all over the world on Bitcoin Pizza Day, 5/22. Yes, that means you! Check if there's a
participating pizzeria in your area or get your local shop to
sign up! We spent >$300,000 on pizza on Bitcoin Pizza Day 2021. How much do you think we'll spend next year?!
What's PizzaDAO?
PizzaDAO is a Decentralized Autonomous Organization formed to promote pizza in all forms. That means we're a pizza-focused community that operates with transparency and communal governance over its treasury.
What's Bitcoin Pizza Day?
On May 22, 2010 Laszlo Hanyecz made the first ever Bitcoin transaction, trading 10,000 bitcoin for two large pizzas. Now that Bitcoin is reaching widespread global adoption, many Bitcoiners like to celebrate this milestone occasion by sharing some slices of pie. How much would those pizzas be worth now? Check here:

PizzaDAO celebrates this historic occasion for Blockchain and Pizza by throwing a Global #FreePizzaDay Party!
Who will receive pizzas from PizzaDAO on Bitcoin Pizza Day 2021?

Why Pizza?
Pizza is the greatest food in the known universe!
Who's behind the project?
The Pizza Mafia: We have 300+ toppings artists, a team of over 100 developers, project managers, marketers, and a growing pizza mafia in our Discord server with 2,500+ people on it.

What is a Rare Pizzas NFT?
Each Rare Pizzas NFT comes with a random Rare Pizzas Box NFT (1 of 100 designs) and a randomly generated Rare Pizza, which will have a random selection of toppings from our 314 unique toppings (each submitted by a unique artist).
Once you can ‘open’ your Rare Pizzas Box it will reveal your Rare Pizza. These pizzas will also be able to be sliced into eight pieces if you want to share!

Do I pay in BTC or ETH?
We love BTC, but we currently only accept ETH. We also have NFTs on the MATIC network: Pizza Pop and Pizza Sticks! We do have plans to accept more currencies in the future. Stay tuned!
How can I see my Rare Pizzas NFT?
Check in your MetaMask wallet under the "Collectibles" tab. Or search for your wallet address on OpenSea. OpenSea automatically populates an account for your wallet, and you can connect MetaMask wallet to claim the account as your own.
Wait, so am I buying a pizza NFT or a pizza box NFT?
Both! You get a pizza box NFT when you make a purchase, and every box holder will get a Rare Pizza NFT when they’re ready out of the oven. Box now, pizza later.
Can I support the pizza party without buying NFTs or cryptocurrency?
Need More Info?
What is a DAO?
A decentralized autonomous organization; typically they use blockchain and consensus technology to allow for transparency and efficient group decision making.
What is Gas?
The money it costs to put a transaction into the ethereum blockchain.
What is a reasonable amount to pay for Gas?
Why is my gas fee so high?
Gas fees are high in general right now. A normal range is anywhere from $40 USD to $90 USD. If you get higher fees than this, it's likely you don't have enough ETH in MetaMask.
You will need at least 25% more than the current pizza price in order to account for slippage and fees. If you have lots of ETH and you still get this error, manually increase the maximum gas spend.
What will the sale price be and how fast will it increase?
Price goes up on a predetermined slope until the final two pizzas, priced together at 10,000 BTC for the pair. You can be just like Laszlo! You can examine the equation in detail on
our Github. At any time during the sale you can also check the current price at
