The Pizza Cupcake Shark Tank Update

The Pizza Cupcake Shark Tank Pitch

Andrea Meggiato and Michelle Jimenez appeared on Shark Tank Season 12, Episode 13, which aired on February 11, 2021, with cupcake-shaped pizza snack.

The Pizza Cupcake is listed in the Food Beverage category. In plain terms, the business is described as cupcake-shaped pizza snack.

The Pizza Cupcake asked the Sharks for $125,000 for 5%, implying a valuation of about $2.5 million.

On the show, The Pizza Cupcake made a listed deal with Lori Greiner for $125,000 for 12.5% + 2.5% in advisory shares.

If treated as straight equity, the listed deal works out to about $1 million implied valuation, down from the original $2.5 million implied valuation.

This pitch is included as context for the more important question: what happened after Shark Tank.

The Pizza Cupcake After Shark Tank

The Pizza Cupcake accepted Lori Greiner's offer for $125,000 for 12.5% plus advisory shares. The product stayed easy to understand after the show: a cupcake-shaped pizza snack meant for parties, retail freezers, and quick food-service occasions. (The Pizza Cupcake Shark Tank Update

The company continued building around online sales, retail availability, and food-service demand rather than treating Shark Tank as a one-time direct-response event. (The Pizza Cupcake Shark Tank Update

The current site still presents The Pizza Cupcake as an active frozen snack brand, which makes it one of the Season 12 food pitches that turned a simple novelty shape into an ongoing product line. (The Pizza Cupcake website
