Domino’s Pizza closing its last 33 locations in Italy

Posted on August 11, 2022 by Steve

What were they thinking in the first place? Of all the fast food chains to bring there, Domino’s is pretty low on the list, right along with Starbucks, Little Caesars and Olive Garden. In their defense, we could speculate that … Continue reading →

More Caturday and why pizza boxes have holes

Posted on January 29, 2022 by Steve

Look out Pizza Rat, here’s Pizza Cat! Actually, I do know why the boxes have holes, some of the heat has to vent out or else the pizza would be all sweaty. I could see one of Jennifer’s cats trying … Continue reading →

Posted on October 5, 2021 by Steve

What a great mashup! It combines one of my favorite movies with a favorite food. It works better than the Battlestar Galactica version on my Blu-Ray boxed set. I found this via Twitter…just did some quick research, I might see it … Continue reading →

Just got back from this place. I should’ve taken a picture with my own darned iPhone but it was a rather exhausting afternoon recording Gifts of the Maggi #3 with Kathy and my guest Holly (she found the place). We had a … Continue reading →

Austin is testing pizza-delivery ‘bots

Posted on June 21, 2021 by Steve

The robot mostly made the news because it would be using the bike lanes in downtown Austin which might stir up our vocal cyclist community. I think the robots resemble a miniature Zamboni®. I couldn’t find out who the robots … Continue reading →

A Goldbergian contraption making meh pizza

Posted on June 15, 2021 by Steve

 Well, it lays out the sauce and toppings as poorly as a machine since we’ve all had those frozen pizzas that are lopsided with the pepperoni or mushrooms. Human pizza makers will always remain the best.

The real, abandoned Westworld

Posted on March 5, 2021 by Steve

This picture made the rounds days ago but it made me think about the scenes from Futureworld when Blythe Dinner and Peter Fonda were allowed to see the ruins of Westworld. So in many ways, Chuck E Cheese and Showbiz Pizza … Continue reading →

A necklace in the spirit of October!

Posted on October 25, 2019 by Steve

I couldn’t put off National Pizza Month off entirely once I scored this necklace at Waterloo Records and gave it to my co-worker (maybe even a friend) Holly. More will be explained with this nice person in time. We both … Continue reading →

Two jokes below, one in the sign and one I thought of

Posted on April 17, 2019 by Steve

Conan’s Pizza rocks, along with a couple other locals, but this place has a sense of humor as you may see in the sign. Give up on the first one? The italicized text works if you sing along to the … Continue reading →

Happy Pi(e) Day!

Posted on March 14, 2019 by Steve

This day we didn’t get to celebrate Einstein’s 140th birthday nor my friend Nelson’s with any good fruit or cream pies at work. Bummer. However, at a smaller level we did eat deep-dish pizza from Conan’s Pizza during a team … Continue reading →
