Japan Goes There With Mayo Pizza

Jeremy Taylor — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 12:30:26 +0000

America’s controversial condiment just became Japan’s newest pizza topping… Even the egg-based spread’s more ardent supporters would acknowledge that there is something about the taste, color and texture of mayo that makes it dodgy companion for some foods. Pizza is probably one of those foods. Yet in Japan (a nation often described as “mayonnaise obsessed”) Domino’s is rolling out a [...]

Pizza Hut Perfume Is an Actual Thing That Is Happening

Jeremy Taylor — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 22:15:33 +0000

Fact: everybody who isn’t a monster loves the smell of pizza. But that doesn’t mean that Pizza Hut should be making a pizza-scented perfume. Especially because their pizza is exempt from the “everybody loves the smell of pizza” clause. But they’re doing it anyway. It started (and should have ended) as a joke, when Pizza Hut [...]

On a Lighter Note, a Ridiculous Pizza Commercial

Emerald Catron — Tue, 06 Nov 2012 23:02:31 +0000

Let’s all just pause and think about what we really want this election day. Pizza, right? Here’s a video excerpt from comedian Vincent Gargiulo’s film ‘KNFR From 7:00 – 7:30.’ We think this is probably one of the best songs ever written about pizza. It’s certainly the best dance accompanying a song about pizza ever. [...]

Cameron Simcik — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 12:15:47 +0000

Pizza Hut has been on our semi grossed-out minds a lot recently, what with their new Kit Kat Pops and Cone Crust Pizza, among other heart attack-inducing creations. But to our surprise, the big cheeses over at the pizza chain have redeemed themselves in our books.

Sometimes you want pizza and some days you just want cheese on that pizza and nothing else. That is why there is a National Cheese Pizza Day. Let’s celebrate by having a cheese pizza for lunch. Well maybe not the whole pizza but a piece or two. So where in Amarillo can you get a [...]

Pizza Cones Look Like a Deliciously Awful Idea

Patrick Bateman — Fri, 13 Jul 2012 13:15:43 +0000

It’s official – this has been one of the hottest summers on record. That calls for ice cream all day every day. The best way to consume the tasty treat – and impress hippie chicks – is via cone. As long as you eat fast enough to avoid waste but slow enough to avoid brain freeze. So, it would make sense to apply that same shrewdness to other incredible edibles. Like pizza.

What topping to get on a pizza has long been a subject of discussion among friends. And while Zagat’s first annual pizza survey isn’t necessarily going to solve that debate, it does give a breakdown of which toppings are most popular among the pizza consuming public.

Why Don't Pizza Chains Want to Share Calorie Information? [VIDEO]

Don Deane — Fri, 22 Jun 2012 12:25:15 +0000

In today’s health-conscious age, it seems a given that chain restaurants would share nutritional information to better inform their customers.

For the first time, Domino’s Pizza racked up $1 billion in digital sales during a one-year period — and to celebrate, the chain is giving you half-off any pizza ordered online or using one of its apps. Domino’s rolled out its online ordering service in 2008, and introduced both iPhone and Android apps within the [...]

Is This Pizza Ordering Fridge Magnet Real Life?

Patrick Bateman — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 12:39:25 +0000

The levels of laziness are reaching all-time ridiculous highs, not just her in the US but across the globe. First, the Tacocopter, then the dude who sawed off his foot to continue claiming unemployment benefits, now this.

According to Congress Pizza is a Vegetable

Lori Crofford — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 18:00:52 +0000

Really? When did that happen? If that is the case I'll take 5 servings please so I can have my daily required servings of veggies. Seriously, when did pizza become a vegetable? According to a bill going before Congress, the tomato paste would be considered a serving of vegetables (which apparently has been so for years).

Domino's Managers Burn Down a Papa John's to Drum Up More Business

Kathy Landin — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 17:58:30 +0000

A pizza war was ignited in Florida when a Papa John’s restaurant was burned down by two managers of a nearby Domino’s franchise. Managers Bryan Sullivan, 22, and Sean Davidson, 23, thought their pizza business would increase if they knocked out the closest competition. So, they decided to take out the competition, not with better [...]

Over Priced Eats For For the Rich and Indulgent

Lori Crofford — Tue, 17 May 2011 19:52:16 +0000

It amazes me how much money people will spend on food. Especially those people who have a lot of money to spend. But why would anyone spend thousands of dollars on a meal or even a dessert. I have ran across stories of restaurants who serve up these expensive dishes and here are a few.
