Joining the microwaving marvel that is the popcorn button is the newest engineering innovation in kitchen convenience: The pizza bump.

The bump, whether bowed out from the back of the appliance or curved out in front, allows a round frozen pizza to fit into a toaster oven, which is relatively small and boxy…

“The pizza bump is because people are cooking a lot of frozen pizzas but also because appliance manufacturers are looking for something to differentiate their products,” said Sharon Franke, the longtime director of kitchen appliances and technology at the Good Housekeeping Institute.

I’m missing out on the freezer-case pie phenomenon, probably because I live in a place where it’s relatively easy (and cheap) to grab a fresh slice. I wouldn’t mind having the added bump-space for a hassle-free way to reheat leftovers, though.
