The Real Heroes of Society
We all know police officers, firefighters, medical people, and the military are all heroes, but there are other unsung heroes who get no credit for making society better for all of us. As I wrote this, a frostbite inducing blizzard was happening outside my window. The world was shut down. Schools and businesses were closed…

A Sad Holiday Pizza Story
What would you put up with to get a free pizza? I had a coupon for a national pizza chain that I don’t usually eat at. I generally avoid the national chains because the pizza is not that good, but the coupon I had was for a free pizza. While the pizza may not be…

Why Should I Pay For Food?
I was in a pizza restaurant and had just placed my order. I paid then sat down as I waited for my food. Moments later, a homeless man walked in and proceeded to walk around the restaurant asking people for pizza. He appeared to be either drunk or high on something. When none of the…

Papa John’s NY Style Pizza Isn’t Really NY Style…
Just because a pizza calls itself New York style doesn’t mean it’s actually New York style. The Papa Johns pizza franchise recently introduced a new addition to their menu; New York Style. While this seemingly sounds like a good thing, it really isn’t anything more than marketing fraud. I used to think it wasn’t possible…

Pizza on Thanksgiving?
I eat pizza on Thanksgiving… Who cares, right? Apparently many people do. In the days following each Thanksgiving, I often find myself in the usual post-holiday conversational social banter with friend and co-workers. While most bragged about big meals with family, traditions, travel and so forth, here’s how my interactions usually go. Them: How was…

Stop Eating Appetizers!
Why do you want to fill up on something before your dinner arrives? The concept of appetizers simply doesn’t make sense. It makes me wonder why anyone would eat a salad while waiting for a pizza. It makes me wonder (and pains my heart) why anyone would eat anything while waiting for a pizza (or…

Lazy People Are Hindering Me
People not wanting to work is interfering with my pizza eating… One of my co-workers ordered pizza for a lunch meeting.

Covid Finally Hits Home
Everyone has been affected by by Covid-19 in different ways. For me, something tragic happened that was beyond anything I could have ever imagined. We knew Covid-19 would cause sickness.

Does Anyone Still Call In Pizza Orders?
Once upon a time in our recent history we actually talked to people on the phone. Not anymore. Long before the days or Doordash or Grub Hub, I can remember when I actually had to make a call to order food. When online pizza ordering was first being implemented I kept asking myself, WHY? I…

The Real Reason Aliens Visit Earth: Pizza
If your planet isn’t in the pizza delivery zone, what would you do???

The Dumpster Fire Rages On…
I’ve been asked why I haven’t written much lately. The short answer is I’ve been playing ostrich the last few months with my head in a hole wondering why the worst reality show in history got renewed for another season. By reality show, I mean the world we’re living in… I usually feel like my…

How My True Calling In Life Relates To Pizza
Think back to the classic 80’s movie, Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure… In the movie, a future society needed Bill and Ted to use their musical talents to save their world.

Cats and Pizza Do NOT Go Together
I received an e-mail today from Sarpino’s Pizza with this ad shown. It was promoting international cat day, with a special on pizzas. Maybe my sick and twisted mind misinterpreted this, but whoever wrote this ad obviously didn’t put much thought into it. The simple fact here is whether cat is on the pizza or…

Why I Talk About Pizza All The Time
I’m like Indiana Jones, but instead of looking for crystal skulls, I search the world for the perfect pizza. Indy shared his stories of his travels, as do I. My stories just happen to involve pizza. Is that really such a bad thing? Some people drink alcohol, others do drugs. I eat pizza. Why? Because…

Another of Life’s Big Questions
If you’re not going to eat your pizza crusts, why would you order bread sticks??? I’ve seen it more times than I care to admit. Someone orders a pizza, but while waiting for it to come out of the oven they order bread sticks as an appetizer. The sticks might be garlic bread, sometimes cheesy…

Did You Know There Was a Pizza Shortage?
Thanks to the hoarding craziness of Covid-19 and the quarantine, pizza was almost a rarity. When the quarantine first began in March of 2020, I’ll admit I did do a little grocery shopping in fear of being locked in my house for 30 days. I didn’t give in to the toilet paper hype, but I…

Why Are You Thankful?
We’ve always been taught the “first” Thanksgiving in 1621 was a time of peace, happiness and blessings. Unfortunately, there’s a bit more to the story. When the Pilgrims had their feast with the Native Americans of New England in the fall of 1621, they were celebrating the fact they weren’t going to die in the…
