Quote of the Day: Thoughts Inspired by a $1 Tip
"Here's your food. I wish I could have gotten it here sooner. Unfortunately, the good tippers got theirs in thepizzaguy, on Tales from the Road...Ambiance Is Not a Topping
"It sometimes seems as if he's living in an alternate pizza universe—one where Papa John is Chris Bianco and ambiance should be a topping that you can order like fennel sausage." Mic check 1, 2, 1, 2. Bubbles B in the place to be. Comin' outta retirement to work ya like a fireman. What's good, sliceheads? I know it's been a minute, but I have to break you off with a little something. I made a move to the Upper East Side (it's not all bad—Central Park, Museum Mile, D'Ag hags) and can't say much for the pizza thus far,...Money Pizza
Money Pizza is an promotional concept for an imaginary pizza chain that sells a $5 pizza. The magnetic fridge-based coin keeper holds $5 in change. As its creator, artist Matt Brown, says, "The concept eliminates the shame people feel when they pay for something all in change. No counting involved with this, both cashier and customer know exactly how much money there is on that pie." Of course you're still left scrounging for the tip.

From the New York Times comes word of this charming-bordering-on-twee way of getting pizza delivery in Paris: By the water, there is a small pink dot of a helium balloon, bobbing in the intermittent breeze. The balloon is key. It was given to you by Pink Flamingo, a pizza parlor down the nearby Rue Bichat, whose bicycle deliveryman will use it as a beacon to locate you and present the five pies you've ordered (10.50 to 16 euros each). They're not all for you, of course—you've got friends to help eat the pizza and drink the four bottles of red...Pizza Delivery Hack: How to Get Drivers to Ring the Right Buzzer
This is a super-specific "hack" that applies only to apartment dwellers—and, more specifically, to apartment dwellers in buildings with very few units. Like, with two or three units. Anyway, I have a recurring problem. In my building, it's just me and my landlord. When I order pizza delivery, half the time the driver rings the wrong buzzer. Yeah, when I call I make sure to tell them, "Ring buzzer No. 1. IT'S THE TOP BUTTON." You'd think that would be direction enough, but often it's not. It's not a huge problem at decent hours, but late at night it...Delivery
"The few surviving [Daihatsu] Charades seem to live out their days as transportation for destitute college students and pizza delivery drivers. A recent look at Craigslist found three for sale at prices from $400 to $900." [New York Times]...Here's a Tip: Mediocre Pizza Is Better When You Order It 'Well-Done'
Pizza photograph by The Pizza Review T&R, where I often get my delivery and take-out pies. For the last year, whenever I've ordered a conventional-gas-oven, mediocre-ingredients-laden, decent-crusted plain pie from my local pizzeria of choice, T&R, I have been specifying that my pie be well-done. Why? Because uncooked, gummy pizza dough may be my No. 1 pizza pet peeve (also known as my "PPP"). Nothing ruins a pizza like a bite filled with raw dough. And you know what? Ordering well-done really makes a difference. My last pie from T&R was most excellent. Am I the only pizza lover...54-Inch Delivery Pizza in Los Angeles, Going for World Record
We all have a purpose in life, and for Big Mama's & Papa's Pizzeria on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, it's to create a 54-inch square delivery pizza. If you had the same idea, you better get on it. They even found a 54-inch square cardboard box! For just $199.99 (plus $14.99 for each additional topping), today's (at least so far) largest deliverable pizza in the world can feed 50 to 70 people. Heads up, though: They need a full day's notice to create one, so order today for Monday Night Football. [via EatFeats]...PSA of the Day: Please Tip the Pizza Delivery Driver
©iStockPhoto.com/lvinst A piece in the Virginian-Pilot reports that local Papa John's franchises in southeastern Virginia changed their pay structure at the beginning of this month. ... Previously, drivers got at least the full minimum wage of $5.85, plus a small delivery stipend and tips. Now, Papa John's is taking advantage of federal law that says because the drivers can make tips, they can be a paid a lower hourly rate when they're on the road making deliveries and a higher rate while working in the shop. Other pizza places use comparable systems. But the rub is that most people...Slice is part of the Foodblog Ad Network.
