'''''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'''''.{{sots ref|
== 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.{{sots ref|
Brandon continued to occasionally mention the book at signings{{wob ref|2640}} and in his annual State of the Sanderson blog posts.{{wob ref|9163}} After looking at it again as a potential reading for the ''[[Firefight]]'' tour in 2015, Brandon decided that it didn't work, and simply considered it as practice in the urban fantasy genre.{{wob ref|7091}} Although the story did see some minor development later that year,{{wob ref|9163}} it was put on hiatus and stayed there for several years.{{sots 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.{{sots ref|
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.{{sots ref|
