Link Roundup: Canadian Pizza Scandal
Opposition legislators grilled Canadian Immigration Minister Joe Volpe [left] in Parliament on Tuesday after learning that he had spent C$138 on a pizza dinner for two and charged it to his expense account.... "I have heard of extra toppings, but this is ridiculous. When the most expensive item on the menu is C$34, how did he manage to spend C$138 for two people at a pizzeria?" asked Conservative Member of Parliament Rahim Jaffer. BELMONT [Mich.] — While workers at a former Belmont pizza parlor delivered hot pepperoni pies, federal authorities say the business owner shipped pounds of marijuana, cocaine and...Link Roundup: Pizza Guidance System
New York City's ace delivery folks don't usually have much trouble finding an apartment, office, or what have you. Other parts of the country sometimes prove problematic, however. Vast suburban subdivisions full of similarly named streets and poorly lit house numbers are a pizza driver's nightmare. Enter the Pizza Beacon, an LED-laden device that you can attach to your door or window. Flip the switch on your Pizza Beacon, hang it up, and its LEDs, visible for up to two miles, will let the pizza dude (and all your neighbors) know that you've got a pie comin' to you. "A...Link Roundup: The Pizza Box
A story out of Indiana about the city of Plymouth getting a new pizza-box factory reminded us of some pizza-box links we'd been sitting on here at Slice HQ. For instance, who knew so much thought went into these things? In designing pizza boxes—and, on the restaurateur's end, selecting which type to buy for delivery and take-out orders—one has to take into consideration venting, box shape (cut-corner vs. square), material, and box-assembly requirements (preconsumer or postconsumer). How do we know all this? Because we found this site several months ago, and read its insanely detailed descriptions and strategies dealing with...Link Roundup
Today's link roundup begins with a story about gardens. Say wha? Yeah. It's a piece out of the Gilroy Dispatch in sunny Cali that recommends growing a themed potager: "For a pizza garden, you could plant oregano, French tarragon, sage, rosemary, thyme, cilantro, basil and parsley, all of which grow well in the South Valley’s Mediterranean climate... "But why stop with herbs? Try planting vegetables that commonly top pizza such as onions, tomatoes, mushrooms and peppers. " 'If you want to go all out, I guess you could plant some wheat, to make the crust,' [said Katherine White, a volunteer with...Link Roundup
The Andy Milonakis Show had a quick prank involving pizza on it the other day. Missed it? It's on MTV; it'll repeat. I was eager to finally catch an episode of this show, believing Milonakis (right) to be the effing-hilarious Man Show Boy. Apparently he's not. The fact that Andy Milonakis is not funny should have been my first clue. I'll stick with Date My Mom and Room Raiders. Give Andy His Pizza [TVSquad.com] Bubbles and tea went so well together, why not pizza? Here's your answer.

'Pizza Hut Launches 3Cheese Stuffed Crust,' PizzaMarketplace.com: Just make it stop. Haven't the major chains abused and perverted pizza enough? It's been stuffed, sandwiched, and baked with a lid like a fruit pie. Its crust has been doubled and slathered with a nasty melted blue-cheese-flavored sauce. It's been topped with BBQ sauce (shocking but true!), chicken wings, and Philly cheesesteak fixin's. Now the Hut is at it again. Not content with the Stuffed Crust pizza, with cheese baked into the ends, Pizza Hut has come up with the 3Cheese Stuffed Crust pizza. No word yet on when Domino's will come...Link Roundup: Pizza en la Communidad
'Pizza Patrón hones Hispanic marketing angle with new ads,' Pizzamarketplace.com: Pizza Patrón, a Latino-centered pizza brand with units mainly in the Southwest U.S., is set to launch a series of new radio spots in May to further its theme of "Llégale" (Spanish slang for "go get it").

The core of each message is Pizza Patrón's everyday...Link Roundup: Bad to Worse to Best
'The Unbearable Thinness of Crust,' Idle Words: ... Back in the heady post-Soviet days, It used to be possible to get really bad pizza in Warsaw. Vendors in the little plastic booths on every corner would sell you a hot dog bun spread with tomato paste and pressed ham for about ten American cents. Then the Vietnamese showed up, with their cut-rate lunch specials and even smaller booths, and the Warsaw pizza market was no more. Finally the Health Department got funding, shut everyone down, deported the Vietnamese, and now the nation's capital is a desolation of McDonald's and hipster...Link Roundup: More Than Donuts
'Detective has a lock on pizza tossing,' Tri-Valley Herald:With a twitch of the wrist and a flick of the arm, Bryant tosses pizza dough into the air, allowing it to land on his fingertips as he dances across the stage. Its not the scene of a pudgy Italian chef with a curly mustache throwing dough in a pizzeria. Rather, its the sight of a Fremont police detective practicing for a world pizza-tossing competition. When he's not investigating crime, Bryant, a 29-year-old Livermore resident, works on his pizza-tossing skills, an attribute thats made him a world champion acrobatic pizza tosser.
