A Handheld Format
Pizza cones are a street-food staple, a format designed for eating on the move. The basic concept involves shaping pizza dough into a cone, baking it until rigid, and then filling it with sauce, cheese, and other toppings. It’s a way of making pizza truly portable, removing the need for a plate or even a flat surface. For years it has been a fixture of food markets and festivals, but it has never successfully made the jump into UK supermarket aisles as a product for home preparation.
This new mockup positions the format under the Morrisons ‘Market Street’ banner. The packaging claims the cones are ‘stonebaked’, a method that usually requires extremely high temperatures to produce a crisp, traditional pizza base. Achieving this effect at home with a cone-shaped product would be the central challenge. The image shows two cones, self-contained and ready to heat, bringing a novelty food-truck item into a familiar supermarket context.
Classic Flavour, New Shape
The flavour chosen for this concept is Pepperoni & Mozzarella. It is arguably the most default pizza topping in the UK, a completely unambiguous choice that puts the focus squarely on the product’s unusual shape. By selecting a flavour combination that needs no explanation, the design suggests the format itself is the main selling point. There are no surprises in the filling, only in the delivery method.
The use of Morrisons’ ‘Market Street’ branding is also a specific choice. This sub-brand is typically reserved for the supermarket’s fresh food counters—the in-store butcher, baker, fishmonger, and deli. Its appearance on a packaged, and presumably frozen, product like this extends the brand’s remit. It attempts to give a mass-produced item the veneer of something more artisanal, as if it originated from the in-store pizza counter.
The Logistics of the Cone
The pack specifies a weight of 250g. For a product of this type, this would almost certainly be for the pair of cones pictured on the box. While the image presents a tidy-looking finished product, the practicalities of cooking it in a conventional home oven are not addressed. A cone will not stand up on its own on a baking tray.
Specialist pizza cone ovens used by commercial vendors often feature rotating carousels with circular holders to keep the cones upright and ensure they cook evenly. A home version would likely require some form of cradle or stand, or perhaps specific instructions to lay the product on its side, though this would risk spilling the contents. The packaging gives no clues as to how the leap from festival food to convenient home snack would be managed.
