Pizza Vending Machine

For real?  In Italy none the less!

Interesting that I had a similar post about a year ago!

Pizza Movie on the Web - Larry and Burt's Gut Rot!

I was made aware today of a web series called Larry & Burt's Gut Rot.  This is based on the true stories of a pizza delivery driver and his brother.

I watched the first episode tonight and I have to say, they nailed it!  The smell that lingers in the car, the customer's payment issue (so typical), and the written notes afte the delivery, these are certainly all things I have experienced over and over during the past few years.

Any restaurant worker will love these movies.

One word of caution, the language makes these "adult" movies, it is not appropriate for the family hour.  But then again, neither is the job of pizza delivery.  So there.

I can't wait to watch the other episodes (6 in all, so far).

On The Road Again

Coach Knoll used to sing that Willie Nelson song to wake us up in the morning for Cross Country Camp.  Today it means I'm back delivering pizzas, after a 6 month absence that encompassed 2 seasons of coaching soccer, and a personal tragedy.

But anyways, I'm back.  Probably just one night a week, for now at least.

I was scheduled from 6 to 10, but got sent home at 8:45 after 5 deliveries:

• First was a delivery to the Waterbury neighborhood.  Husband held the well-behaved bulldog they were "training", while the wife added a $3 tip to the credit card slip.
• Second, had to navigate some road construction but earned a $3 tip on a $12 order.
• Third, got stiffed just down the street from the new high school.  Credit card order, she didn't understand when I asked her to "write the total on that line", not just her signature.
• Fourth, got a $4 tip on a $20 order near the police station.
• Fifth and last, got $1.50 on a $23.50 order.  So many vines on the chain-link fence that I couldn't figure out where the gate was to get into the yard!

Totals 2.75 hours, 5 deliveries, $11.50 in tips, 23 miles.  Mileage reimbursement was $5.25 ($1.05 per run).

Shocking news of the night was that Mona retired!

Coming Soon . . .

. . . me!  Delivering a pizza to your neighborhood!

After a long time off due to soccer season, a family tragedy, and another soccer season, I'm starting back to work next Monday!

I stopped by the shop and dropped off a copy of my drivers license and insurance so they can confirm that I'm legal to drive again.  I was off so long I guess I'm no longer even on the payroll!

Best 24-Hour Pizza Joint

According to this article, the best pizza place open 24 hours is right here in Ohio!  It's Hound Dog's 3 Degree Pizza in Columbus!

I used to like the Flying Tomato in Columbus, but next time I get a chance I will be checking out Hound Dog's!
