What do you call a pepperoni pizza that has fallen asleep?
A piZZZa with extra ZZZ!
Why This Joke Works
This builds on the sleeping pizza joke by adding "extra ZZZ" — a nod to the pizza ordering convention of "extra pepperoni" or "extra cheese." The sleeping pizza doesn't just have ZZZ's, it has extra ZZZ's, which means it's sleeping even harder and ordered accordingly.
🎤 How to Tell This Joke
Spell out or dramatically elongate the ZZZ sound — the more comically sleepy and snore-like the delivery, the better this one lands.
Perfect for:
- •During a late-night pizza delivery when everyone's fighting to stay awake
- •At a sleepover when people are clearly exhausted but the pizza is still being eaten
- •When ordering pizza and someone asks for extra toppings at the same moment another person yawns
