A search and seasoning operation is currently underway, with teams of basil, oregano, and garlic combing the area for any signs of the missing tomato. The operation is being led by the renowned chef, Mario Batali, who expressed his concern for the tomato's safety.
"This is a tragedy for the culinary world," said Batali. "That tomato was a true pioneer, always willing to explore new flavors and textures. We must find it before it's too late."
The tomato's disappearance has sparked a wave of conspiracy theories, with some speculating that it was kidnapped by a rival pizza chain or taken by aliens for experimentation. However, most experts believe that it simply got lost in the sea of cheese and sauce that surrounds the pizza wreck.
