This pizza’s dynamite.

A makeshift pizza parlor in a trailer parked near a baseball field in Florida exploded when the pizza man started cooking up his pies.

José Munoz, 25, of Milwaukee, was brought to the US when he was just 1, but he had trouble proving he’d been here long enough to stay under President Obama’s amnesty program for young illegal immigrants.

A British school has banned triangular flapjacks — so that its students won’t poke their eyes out with the pointy ends.

The new rule follows a boy’s getting hit in the eye with one of the three-sided rice cakes in a food fight.

And Castle View School officials may look to ban other oddly shaped, potentially dangerous food.

The rule “only covers flapjacks — at the minute,” said the principal.
