Inside the Life of Ellicott City Pizza King

Ellicott City resident Dan Janssen made news earlier this year for his unusual diet, which consists of cheese pizza.

This week, he returned to the spotlight in a new video released by Munchies, which provides coverage of the culinary industry geared toward a youthful demographic.

"I think of myself as the pizza king," Janssen said in the video. The nearly 40-year-old craftsman has been surviving on pizza for approximately 25 years, and in this video, he shows Munchies how he does it.

Watch for these local cameos:

• St. Paul Street in Ellicott City, where Janssen has lived for approximately 20 years; check it out at 5:12.
• Imperium Woodcraft in Ellicott City, located inside his home, where he makes hand-turned, hardwood shaving accessories to support the pizza habit; watch it at 5:54.
• Vennari's Pizza in Columbia's Oakland Mills Village Center, which he says is "the best pizza in town"; see the clip at 12:35.
