Pizza Emoji — Copy and Paste
One click copies the pizza slice. Below it: the official Unicode name and code point, why there is no whole-pizza character, and why the toppings change from phone to phone.
Tap any tile to copy it. Nothing is sent anywhere — the copy happens in your browser.
Repeat it 100, 1000 or 10,000 times

One character, and only one
🍕 is Slice Of Pizza, U+1F355, added in Unicode 6.0 in 2010. That is the entire pizza set. There is no whole pizza, no full pie, no cheese-only pizza and no small pizza — searches for all four end at this same character. If you want a whole pizza, people paste the slice two or three times, which is what the repeat box above is for.
Why yours has different toppings
Unicode standardises the name and the code point. The drawing is the platform’s, and Apple, Google, Samsung, Microsoft and WhatsApp all draw their own slice. What moves between them is the number of pepperoni, whether there is basil on it, how much cheese pulls away from the crust and which way the point faces. They also redraw them between OS releases, so the slice you send today is not necessarily the slice your phone showed two years ago.
This is not a bug and not something a website can fix. If the exact picture matters, preview it in the app you are posting to. The best-documented case of it mattering is the neighbouring burger: in 2017 Google put the cheese under the patty while Apple put it on top, and Google redrew 🍔 in Android 8.1 after people noticed.
The details
| Character | Official name | Code point | Added |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🍕 | Slice Of Pizza | U+1F355 | Unicode 6.0 (2010) |
| 🧀 | Cheese Wedge | U+1F9C0 | Unicode 8.0 (2015) |
| 🍞 | Bread | U+1F35E | Unicode 6.0 (2010) |
| 🍽 | Fork And Knife With Plate | U+1F37D | Unicode 7.0 (2014) |
Pizza text art is not Unicode
A pizza drawn out of brackets, slashes and underscores is plain keyboard text, not a character. It only holds its shape in a monospace font, so it survives a code block or a terminal and collapses into a mess in a chat bubble or a document. The same rule governs every block of this kind — see beer ascii art for the longer explanation.
Honest caveats
- 🍕 sits above U+FFFF. Username and display-name fields frequently reject that whole range, so a handle with a pizza in it is often refused without saying why.
- It is one character but two UTF-16 units, so some length counters charge two.
- A screen reader announces “Slice Of Pizza”. In a run of a hundred from the repeat box, it says it a hundred times.
- Anything that promises a PNG here is offering an image file, not a character. What this page copies is text.
