Thoughts from the Pizza Wars

So here was a fun one tonight. Guy (sounded like a kid, but whatever) calls up, wants a pizza, small. No problem. Wants it made half and half. No problem. Wants half with pepperoni. No problem. Wants that half with extra sauce. Problem.

See...sauce is a liquid. And like all liquids, it's not really going to like being slanty, which is what will happen if you put more of it on one side of the pizza than the other. It'll want to move. It'll especially want to move when you heat it up...say, to several hundred degrees Celcius. I just don't think it's gonna happen.

So I told the guy so, explaining that, while I certainly could ask the store to put extra sauce only on half of the pizza, I certainly couldn't guarentee it. And after some repetition of this key point, the guys tells me that, 'Fine, I'll just try another pizza place.'

Er? Has Panago mastered some art of slanty sauce that Pizza Hut still lacks?

Giant Robots like to be flat too.
