Description
Pizza Spins might have been the Bugles Corn Crisps side kick. At least I remember that the 2 boxes were always side by side at the IGA grocery store. These were round, pizza-flavored crisps. They looked like a wheel with spokes or like a round pizza with slices cut out.

I'm not crazy! Finally validation that these really did exist! I LOVED them!
Who made these things? I loved these as a child. Can we find the owners to see if they still make the pizza spins?
Yes, Pizza spins DID exist!! I remember them fondly! I thought they were the best snack ever when I was little. Not sure who made them. Maybe Nabisco.
I remember Pizza Spins. My Grandfather always had them at his house for me. Probably the late 60's or early 70's. I actually e-mailed the company (General Mills) about them a couple of years ago... no go on the re-make.
Yes!! Validation! Few people seem to remember them, but Pizza Spins were my favorite snack to eat while watching U.F.O. and Space 1999 on my portable, red-plastic, black-n-white TV!!!!
Out of the blue the other day, I remembered Pizza Spins. Anyone know what company made them? Maybe we can bring them back. I loved 'em. I miss them... I WANT THEM!
My grandmother and I used to eat these ALL the time while watching the Flip Wilson Show and Laugh-In. They were around in the late 60s and early 70s, and then disappeared. Heard Chex Mix pizza flavor tastes just like them, but haven't tried it yet!
O my God YES. I loved those. PLEASE...let's start a petition to bring them back!!!!
Wow - this is great - we used to buy them at the IGA near my grandmother's house on the cape during summer visits - not many folks seem to remember them but they were the snack food BOMB! I remember feeling totally crestfallen when finally one summer they vanished, and all there was left were some boxes of Bugles on the shelf...
Yes, I remember this General Mills snack very fondly! That had a great spicy Pizza flavor to them. I will send copy of all these comments to General Foods and see if we can change their minds about REintroduction. I bet 1000's remember these and would BUY them again - if they were the same taste. Please everyone - Leave more comments....
By the way, Pizza Spins came out about 1968 (taken off market - 1975). Bugles, Whistles & Dasies were all introduced together in: April 1966. Dasies were the first to bite the dust, then Whistles. Bugles, of course are still with us! >Pizza-licious PRINGLES are the closest thing currently available to Pizza Spins...
