OK, yeah, so this one is not super pizza- or food-related, but I thought this was an interesting bit on blast-door art. From Design Observer: Like the garish and cheeky illustrations etched across the noses of World War II aircraft, these images in launch control centers across the United States testify to the bravado of the men (and, from the mid-1980s onward, women) of what has been called “America’s Underground Air Force.” But they also reflect the sometimes surreal pressures faced by two-person missile crews on 24-hour duty alerts, waiting for a call to turn their missile launch keys and...

As an oblivious English-speaking gringo, I'd never really thought about what you'd do as a Spanish-speaking pizza fiend. Well, Domino's thought about it and is now delivering en español. By dialing 888-DOMINOS, those who hablar the language can now reach an automated voice system that's probably as annoying in Spanish as these things are in English. I wouldn't know, as my high school-level español is pretty weak. That familiar doo-da-loo-doo-da-loo-doo-da-loo-doop sound that the system makes while "thinking," however, sounds the same in either language.... More

With all the options available from the nationwide pizza chains, things can get a little confusing. More

I wish this AppleTV hack had screenshots or a video demo: 0.3.0 Brings in the much awaited Pizza on Demand (POD for short) This exciting feature will allow you to order pizza from Domino's and Papa John's directly from your AppleTV! Currently it is only possible to order one pizza with multiple toppings, this will change in the future as long as we can still develop plugins in AppleTV 2.0.Installation: Pizza on Demand has a few essential requirements before it can function properly. 1. WebKit (Choose install software from the POD menu and then webkit installer) 2. Safari 3.0.3 or... More

Heh. Had you there for a minute, eh? Because, given the Oreo Dessert Pizza, the Crispy Melt, and all that, this Thanksgiving Feast Pizza mocked up by The Onion is not entirely implausible.... More

Well, folks, unless they left me on the cutting room floor, yours truly will be appearing as a blabbing head tomorrow night on the new Food Network show Heavyweights. I'll be on an episode called "The Pizza Files." The show pits two food industry rivals against one another and has commentators talk about them. The two biggies here: Pizza Hut and Domino's. The short of it: Airs Saturday, September 22 at 9 p.m. ET. Check your local listings, set your TiVos, take some Tums. The long of it after the jump, written just after I taped the show on July...

Photograph courtesy of Jason Perlow To lead off this pizza link roundup, here's a great one that I didn't get to last week. Jason Perlow of Off the Broiler was invited along on a New Jersey pizza odyssey in the Newark Star-Ledger Munchmobile. Perlow and other Jersey food bloggers visited The Brothers (Red Bank), Sciortino's (South Amboy), Pizzatown USA (Elmwood Park), Cafe Capri (East Rutherford), and Santillo's (Elizabeth). Also blogging the Munchmobile ride: Baristanet, GoOutJersey, Hoboken411, and redbankgreen. Grub Street visits Dean's Pizzeria on the Upper West Side but doesn't really say much about how the pizza was. The... More

The clock was about to strike six when I called Domino's. I ordered a large Classic Hand-Tossed Italian sausage and a plain cheese pizza. The woman who took my order was exceedingly polite and said my pizza would be $12.45 and would take 30 minutes to arrive. I checked my watch a number of times, and then, like magic, at exactly 6:29 p.m., our doorbell rang. How did she know it would take exactly 30 minutes? What could Domino's possibly teach its employees in order for them to be able to tell me, to the minute, when my pizza would... More
