OK, I don't have kids and I got this thing as a gag gift. But it has more smiles per gallon that anything I've seen in a while. The tickle-me-elmo is just plain annoying unless you're 2 or have had unfortunate head trauma recently. But this thing is so bizarrely funny that I'm considering doll-napping it to fire up on rainy days or after scratching off another losing lottery ticket. The singing pizza is the piece-de-resistance, no pun intended. It will give you pause next time you order a slice for fear that you're eating an endangered species. Like eating dolphins or puppies.

I saw this while looking for a toy for my grandson's birthday. Although I'm not getting this for him (he's going to be one) I'm getting it for myself! I work in the office of a large pizza chain and my fellow employees are gonna love it! It's so cute!

My daughter just opened a pickup/delivery pizza place. She has Elmo
standing on the front counter for all to enjoy. He us just so cute
and sings great too. So does the pizza!
She didn't want to destroy all of the surroundings
that came with the box so she just cut off the top of the box and he is
now displayed with the pizza boxes that came with him, and back of the box scenery. However, For anyone getting this for their child, I think they will be taking the batteries out after a couple of days. I think it's a great novelty.

When the plastic pizza face comes to life, it is freakishly entertaining and you can't keep your eyes off of it. I ended up keeping it for myself instead of giving it to a kid.

What a adorable little guy the pizza just comes alive. So cute my grandson will be so amazed can't wait till christmas morning to see his expression on his face. Wow even my teenage son got a kick out of it.

Purchased the Pizza Elmo on-sale for my one-year old daughter for Christmas. She absolutely LOVES it! While the TMX Ernie seems to scare her, the Singing Pizza Elmo grabs her attention. More-so than the wrapping paper and boxes. (Probably the only toy that truly did so.)

My wife and I also enjoy the song and have been singing it to her.

With that said, the pull-tab to take the toy out of "demo" mode and into permanent mode (so it sings more than just the "Yummy, Yummy, It's a Pizza Pie, Yummy, Yummy, you toss me in the sky" into the full song, did NOT work. Pulled the tab, still sang the same song.

Upon doing some podiatry work on Elmo's foot, I was able to remove the plastic housing that contained the plastic strip. No remnants were left. I thought it was perhaps a circuit that needed to be made, so briged it with a piece of wire. Thing worked great. Put it back together, went back to "demo mode". Disassembled again... Realized there is a switch that presumably the plastic strip was supposed to depress, but once removed, no longer depress. Re-wired to bypass the switch and the thing works just fine.

Accordingly, I'll be writing a letter to Fisher Price for their apparent lack of quality control on this. I had purchased another Fisher Price toy for my daughter with similar problems (admittedly the other toy was second-hand, so can't entirely blame it on them), but there appears to be a lack of quality wiring. You could say you get what you pay for, and in my case, I probably did, but if one were to pay anywhere near the 'retail' price for this, it would be abhorent for this type of quality issue.

I showed this to my 10 month old son in the store. I tend to show him things while we are shopping and talk to him about the things we see. WHen I showed him the Pizza Elmo, his face lit up and he started clapping EVERY TIME Elmo would sing the song. Even though the package said 18 months and up, we got it anyways. We figured we would just supervise him with it. He LOVES it. I have never see him like this with any toy. BUT - perhaps it is best to follow the guidelines. We bought it on Monday and it was broken by Wednesday. Perhaps he broke a motor or something by hugging it so tight when it was singing and dancing. We tried to change the batteries, but he will just start the song and then stop suddenly right in the middle. I may try to exchange it for a new one because I don't really know why it quit working, but I'll have to put it away for a while and give it to him when he's a little older.

I got this for my 2 year old. He loved watching the little video online, so I figured he like the real one as well. He's played with it a couple times and likes to dance to the song, but gets tired of it quickly. I think the song should be a little shorter.
I don't like the fact that there's no volume control on it. It's so loud! It's also pointless for this to come with the cardboard pizza boxes. They all have holes in them from where they were tied into the box, so they're not even worth playing with (if they're even supposed to be).
It's pretty cute the first 50 times, but my husband wanted to throw the thing out the window after a while!

My 2 year old daughter is just mesmerized by this. She could watch it over and over again. So, anything that keeps her attention for more than 2 seconds is okay with me!

She even watches this video over and over.

The little pizza sings along with Elmo. I don't think it does much more than that. So after her playing with it at the store for 20 minutes, I didn't buy it. When I saw it here MUCH cheaper and free shipping, I just had to order it!

While it is an amusing toy, it doesn't really stand to ever be a child's favorite.
It only sings one song, and the pizza tells one joke. There's nothing else it does - no variation whatsoever.
It also has no volume control, and is dangerously, not to mention obnoxiously LOUD. The speaker is internal, so you can't muffle it either.
While we've only had it for a matter of hours, I worry about the stability of it as well. With a child, the pizza could easily break and cease to function, ruining the whole element of the song.

So, it's cute... play with it in the store, or at a friend's house, but don't buy it.
