There's a Sieman's commercial at the start. Maybe 5 seconds.
There's a mask wearing guy at the end waiting for the buggy.

If it runs over your dog, do you get free pizza for life?
I'd rather have the dog. Is Dominos any good, never had it.

It depends what you're used to. I think it's pretty lousy, but there
are locations where it might be the best you can get.

The original oven has vestiges of a pedal powered scheme but with a 2
ton wood fired oven that didn't work well. They got better over the
years but the pies used to look more like a map of South America than a
circle. They're good though and had the mobile popup thing down long
before the covid crap. Also, they sell by the slice. Back in the day I
could inhale a whole pie but now a piece is fine.


Nice. When I make a pizza, it's never round. More oblong, maybe
with a short peninsula.

OTOH, two oblongs (his and hers pizzas) fit on a rectangular pizza
stone pretty well.

My parents and my aunt and uncle got together about every Saturday
night. Much beer flowed with the men, and gin or rye depending on the
season among the women.

At times they would have one of those boxed pizza kits, probably Chef
Boyardee. "Spread dough evenly in both pans to edge." never quite
happened so I got used to let than perfect result.

It was a lot better the weekends when we went to my uncle's place. He
lived in the city and there was a barroom across the street where you
could phone for a professional product and pick it up at the Ladies
Entrance.

Pizza was sort of on the edge of acceptability where I grew up. All
Italians were in the mafia and carried knives so you were taking your
life in your hands going to one of their joints.
