'''''Death By Pizza''''' is the original name of a story idea by [[Brandon Sanderson]] that was an urban fantasy about a necromancer pizza delivery man. The pizza delivery angle was later removed, with the protagonist changed to a heavy metal singer. An official title has not been revealed, but Brandon has jokingly referred to the revamped story as '''''Death Without Pizza'''''.{{
== Original draft and hiatus ==
Brandon first mentioned the story in 2010{{wob ref|10132}} and wrote the majority of a novel-length story before 2013, but it had many flaws that prevented it from being published.{{
Brandon continued to occasionally mention the book at signings{{wob ref
== Revival of project and collaboration ==
In 2018, Brandon mentioned that he was once again actively working on the necromancer novel.{{wob ref|11948}} In the 2018 State of the Sanderson, he revealed that he had completed a new outline and world guide early in the year and had done additional work on the project throughout the year.{{
Brandon noted that the pizza delivery aspect of the story did not fit the setting and magic system, and he realized that a better choice would be the culture of heavy metal music. The updated novel features an American metal singer living in London who discovers his latent necromancy powers.{{
