Pizza Delivery is Dead to Me

[Frosty]

When dwarf-tossing is outlawed, only outlaws will toss dwarves.

We need constitutional dwarf tossing!!!

 

[edporch]

There was a time when Dominos had a 30 minute delivery promise; or the pizza was free! Back in the day!

If memory serves, they stopped that when some drivers had wrecks and it was claimed it happened because they were driving too fast trying to be on time.

And I can't believe it was Florida that did it.

Generally speaking, real, legal work...not a scamming someone, etc..

Why?

I forgot to mention I generally agree with that. And none of those things I mentioned do I consider degrading to the person performing the work.

I haven't known any "tossing" dwarfs, but I have known at least one each of the others. The stripper had a kid when she was very young and did it to support the two of them and don't laugh put herself through nursing school. Yes I know how it sounds but on a couple of slow nights I helped her with flashcards or quizzed her out of one of her books. No hanging out at strip clubs wasn't my normal thing, the company I worked for did cleaning during outages for a company down there and it was the only place in walking distance of the hotel. So I was down there 2-4 weeks a year for 3 years. She could make on a good night what I made in a week.

The prostitute was a very expensive "escort". She went to college with a friend of mine. On a good night she made easily what I made in at least 2 weeks, maybe in a month. On a "date night" with no sex she easily made what I did in a week.

I don't recall ever having pizza delivered, except in college before I had a car. Much better experience to go pick it up, get it quickly, get it hot, and don't have to pay extra "delivery charge" or tip.

And I order pizza 1-2 times a week. Oh, and I drive 2.5 - 3 hours round-trip just for pizza probably once a month as well, because that's the closest "really good" pizza.

Where was that?

Where was that?

IMO, only Chicago Deep Dish Pizza is "really good" pizza (although plenty of pizza is "good enough"). So I drive to Giordano's or Lou Malnati's. And the Greenwood Giordano's just closed, so now I have to drive all the way to downtown Indy (> 3 hours round trip).

Yep....Lou Malnati's is a good call!

They have Indy locations now.

Yep, I knew multiple strippers and on a good night they made what I did in a week, in cold hard cash. I can still remember helping one move to a new apartment and she had a pile of 1's, 20's and 50's on her bed from the weekend before. While there were way more 1's of course, she had to have had 30 of the 20's and 5 or 6 of the 50's. Not bad for a couple days.

Pizza and strippers. I'm liking where this is going.

Now we just need beer.
Definitely NSFW.

Even better (for me since I'm a 1.5 hours south of Indy); they just opened one in Greenwood. But I'm still disappointed that Giordano's just closed their Greenwood location. Giordano's is my favorite and Lou Malnati's is my wife's favorite; although both are very good.

Where's Lou's?

Pizza delivery is a lose lose deal. That's why no one wants to do it. The gasoline is stupid expensive. The tips are not usually great. The delivery gigs are all hurting.

These days, I don`t WANT my food in some strangers vehicle. I saw, at the hospital, a food delivery driver open his car door, and the smoke just rolled out. I thought, good grief, some poor person is going to eat that food!

 

[wtburnette]

Thank you...

Had a pic on here somewhere that had the Uber eats bag on the floor of the bathroom stall…

Man, all this talk about pizza. My favorite is probably the Pizza Hut of 15+ years ago fresh from the pan in the dining room when they didnt skimp on the oil so the entire bottom got a good crisp. Soooo crunchy and good. Yeah, still boring big box pizza, but it was damn good.

This was when they still made fresh dough and did not serve frozen factory made dough like today. Lot of oil and fresh dough, mmmm…

Yep. And remember when they started selling an upcharge seasonings options for them to paint on the crust for more flavor? Hey idiots, If you hadnt changed to crappy dough, you wouldnt have to try masking it. SMH

EDIT: In hindsight, I think it was done simultaneously (away from fresh and adding the option to factory dough) . Because after the flavors were added, for the longest time we chased flavor options to get the old great taste we loved. We were sure it was just one of the flavors and we couldnt figure out which it was. And we just couldnt figure out which ones we tried. It was really bad dough in reality.

But then they couldn't upcharge you for the extra seasonings. Some marketing genius thought that up I'm sure...
