    Pizza delivery is notoriously dangerous. More pizza delivery drivers get shot than cops. It took a long time for people to build up the courage and sense of responsibility for pizza before they braved those streets.

    I honor our pizza delivery drivers. o7

      This is more of a America problem than a pizza guy problem.

      This is America. People do whatever the f*** they feel like doing, you got a problem with that? Because they have a right to. And because they have guns and no one can f***ing stop them. As a result, this country has one of the worst economies in the world. When it gets down to it–we’re talking trade balances here–once we’ve brain-drained all our technology into other countries, once things have evened out, they’re making cars in Bolivia and microwaves in Tadzhikistan and selling them here–once our edge in natural resources has been made irrelevant by giant Hong Kong ships and dirigibles that can ship North Dakota all the way to New Zealand for a nickel–once the Invisible Hand has taken all those historical inequities and smeared them out into a broad global layer of what a Pakistani bricklayer would consider to be prosperity–y’know what? There’s only four things we do better than anyone else:

      music

      movies

      microcode (software)

      high-speed pizza delivery

    I can still remember that time.

    It must have been some eight or nine hours ago now: if you tried to get a pizza delivered back then, they would just give you a message telling you to call back at 10 am when the pizzeria was open.

    That time was last night. The location? Costco. $10 for a pie is the best deal going right now.

        I’ve been a member for a couple of years and assumed it was warmed up frozen pizza, but I looked up the process and it isn’t. It really tastes pretty good (especially for the price).

    I have to imagine that even back when pizza was probably first invented, food delivery was a common thing. You just would have to order it in person, in advance if you didn’t have a bird or know how to write.

        And? I did that on bicycle occasionally in Mississippi, way faster than a vehicle no less.

        I mean I want a pizza delivered by horse, even if I gotta ride the horse my damn self.

          Hey alright. I didn’t know if you just wanted something available pre-1900 or specifically a horse. If I knew how to get you the hookup on equestrian pizza I’d be happy to tell ya, but I don’t.

    Those were dark times. My favorite in undergrad was to order a 14 inch hot sauce pizza from a local shop (of course delivery). I may be trash for how much I enjoyed this pizza but idc. Wont matter on my death bed
