| VENDORS THAT ARE SIZE SPECIFIC |
| VENDORS THAT ARE NOT SIZE SPECIFIC AND/OR |
| Pizza prices, sizes, and toppings vary between vendors. This site will examine some variables. |
| Vendors that don't specify the diameter of a round pizza or the length and width of rectangular pizzas |
| should not be patronized until they do. |
| Pizza should be priced according to the actual surface area of the pizza & the amount of a particular |
| topping per square inch. The amount of a particular topping per square inch should remain the same |
| Round pizza area = 3.1416 x radius x radius. Square pizza area = width x length. |
| PizzaPrices |
| Familiarize yourself with the area and price per square inch of the pizzas at your favorite pizzeria. |
| Don't be fooled by the number of slices, no two slices are equal. |
| Learn to calculate the total area of your pizza. |
| A fair price is whatever the buyer and seller agree on. Caveat Emptor |
| This site was created in response to the blizzard of shoddy junkmail flyers sent by the chain |
| pizzerias. I love pizza but I don't like to waste a half hour trying to decipher menus that are big on |
| graphics but short on specifics like inch dimensions and / or topping prices.Terms such as 'small, |
| medium, and large' are not size specific and neither are the number of slices in a pie, yet some of the |
| nationwide chains hold their customers in such contempt that they only specify the number of slices. |
| This site will maintain a list of local vendors that do or don't specify the diameter or length x width. |
| When I get a local flyer thru the mail the vendor will be listed according to the way size is specified. |
| These lists will rely only on the vendor's flyer. |
| Why not do the same for your neighbors on your website? |
| Vendors must clearly specify diameter or length and width of their pizzas. |
| Vendors who fail to do so will be placed in the non-specific list. |

| 'Yes' the waiter said politely, 'how may I help you?' Well' I began to stammer, 'I thought your small |
| pizzas were much larger than this, just like on your flier'. 'Well' the waiter responded, 'actually we're |
| Just last Wednesday I got a flier in the mailbox from one of the large pizza chains and decided to give |
| it a go. I went in and sat down, and the waiter came over to my table and handed me a copy of the flier |
| and asked me 'would you like to order now?' 'Sure ', I answeared, 'I'll have a small eight-corner with |
| cheese, tomato sauce, and pepperoni and that free bottle of soda'. 'Fine ', he responded, that'll be |
| twenty dollars plus tax-makes it twentyone even. Will that be cash or credit?' 'Cash of course' I said |
| and paid him and got my receipt. I took a look around at the fixtures and other customers and noticed |
| that there weren't any large pizza or serving dishes on the tables, just some 4 inch saucers with little |
| pizzas on them."Hmmm', I thought, 'maybe their regular customers are being offered a a sample of a |
| new pizza today, and those cute little bottles must hold all of half a shot.' At about this time the |
| waiter came back from the kitchen with a large tray on his shoulder. 'Oh Boy' I thought. The waiter |
| reached my table and with a flourish placed an eight-corner pizza with cheese, tomato sauce, and |
| pepperoni on the table and began to return to the kitchen. 'Wait a minute!' I exclaimed. 'There's some- |
| thing wrong here. I ordered a small eight-cornered pizza and a bottle of soda!'. The waiter responded |
| 'oh I'm so sorry sir, it's all my fault'. And then he reached down and placed half of the six by six pizza |
| back on the tray and whipped out a cutting wheel. He cut the remaining three by six pizza to create. |
| a small eight-corner pizza, put one of those cute little bottles of soda on the table and said 'there you |
| go', and turned to head for the kitchen. In shock by now I somehow managed to bleat out a tiny 'wait'. |
| And he placed the pizza on the flier and sure enough it was twice as large as the one on the flier. |
| having a special today and your pizza is twice as large as the one on the flier. Here, let me show you.' |
| 'But waiter, I thought your small pizzas were at least ten inches by ten inches like all the other pizza |
| parlors' I whispered. 'Sir' the waiter answeared quietly, 'there is no inch measure stated on the menu. |
| You looked at our flier and asked for a small pizza just like the one on the flier, but because today is |
| Wednesday you've received a double portion. A huge ten inch by ten inch group party pizza with |
| cheese, tomato sauce, and pepperoni would be a special order but I can have the chef bake one up for |
| you if you like'. 'How much would that be?' I managed to squeak. 'Only ninetynineninetynine' he said |
| in anticipation, 'plus tax'. 'I think I'll wait until another day', I said, 'that double eight-sider has filled |
| me up to the brim and I didn't bring any other small change with me'. And so out the door, into my car |
| I'm so grateful for the double portion that I've decided to return every Wednesday for the special two |
| and down the road I drove. I sensed that something just wasn't right but couldn't quite figure it out. |
