From the comfort of your couch you can pick up the phone and 45 minutes have delivered a meat lover’s pizza, a dozen wings and a 2 liter coke. No matter what else is wrong with our country, this ability alone places it permanantly in the category of “a perfect society.”
My GF and I have a standing pizza date every Thursday. We’ve been trying to work our way down the menu. I finally convinced her of the virtues of Hawaiian.
Actually, I didn’t. But hey, extra pineapple for me!
I loves me a “SMOG mit”…sausage, fungus, onion, green pepper, green olives and banana peppers, double sauce, Chicago cut (square cut), thin crust. Da missus likes a Canadian bacon, pineapple and fungus combo. Northern Lights Pizza, a Des Moines chain that, TBTG, came to the KC metro area makes the best.
The last pizza* we had delivered we ordered online and paid for with a credit card. I added the tip then. The pizza got there quicker than it ever had before, with extra peppers and dipping sauce tossed in gratis. The delivery guy thanked me for the tip most effusively, which makes me think most of the people in this town are cheap bastards who stiff the help.
*It was a Papa John’s Tuscan Special, for those of you who are keeping score.
