Yeah, they had one with sausage instead of pepperoni plus those other toppings, but I don’t remember what that one was called.

> A note on the hotel room, since @Smapti was asking about hotels earlier. There’s no fridge in the room. I guess I’ve just started taking for granted that hotel rooms will have fridges and microwaves. That might be something to consider if you plan on having, say, leftovers from Giordano’s. But other than that it’s fine. Clean, comfy bed, and it was nice sleeping in a bed that wasn’t rocking back and forth last night.

I can live without a fridge en suite as long as the bed is comfy, the pillows are neither too hard nor too soft, the room is quiet, and there’s decent water pressure in the shower.

I kept my lips zipped when I saw pepperoni because I figured it was either a typo or a patron substitution. But pepperoni on a Special is indeed uncommon.

And half a delicious room temp deep dish on the counter for tomorrow … even if it’s pepperoni.
