It might be one of the weirdest mashups ever, but Lexus has partnered with luxury appliance brand Monogram to give birth to a one-of-a-kind Prado-based Monogram GX 550 that features a pizza oven in the back.

Far from just being a mini-Weber in the back, the pizza oven allows you to prepare pizza and artisanal bread, with a plating station and full cutlery that will turn your pitstops into a date night.

In addition to this, the Monogram GX is equipped with a Forge Heated Ice Press, the first of its kind in the United States. This “show-stopping” piece creates a sphere to chill drinks such as bourbon and spirits – which can conveniently be stored in a rear cold drawer situated behind the rear seat.

“This unique pairing of unexpected luxury cooking while away from home is created with signature pieces from Monogram that elevate the everyday,” said Julie Burns, executive director of Monogram Appliances.

“The Monogram GX puts an entirely new spin on the road-trip experience with a crafted, culinary journey.”

Meals on Wheels, the deluxe version.

Unveiled at the Food & Wine Classic show in Aspen, Colorado, this concept vehicle has rear barn doors that open to reveal a 76cm electric oven designed to perform like a wood-fired pizza oven.

The interior decor melds luxury motoring with a suburban kitchen. Two-tone leather upholstery covers everything from the seats to the surround for the pizza oven – which is paired with brass, titanium, and Dekton slate stone accents. The exterior features custom wheels and brass trim for the door handles and roof rack.

Lunacy or genius? Most likely both, and sadly not for mass production. If you crave pizza you can do what most Capetonians do and give Butler’s Pizza a call. Their legendary pizzas are the best in town, and no doubt better than anything you can bake in a SUV’s boot.
