Maybe that Herman Cain moment got me in the mood for pizza or maybe anything gets me in the mood for pizza, but, whatever, Tom, James and I just ordered some pizza while we watch the Vikings game.
Having pizza delivered is not what it used to be, at least at the big-name chains. They have elaborate ordering systems on line, so I sit here trying to figure it all out when it probably would have been much easier to just pick up the phone and call.
On the Domino's site, you can actually track your pizza -- the name of the person making your pizza, the name of the person who put your pizza in the oven, who takes it out, and then the name of the guy just about to knock on your front door with your pizza.
But the last pizza we got at Domino's was pretty bland, even after all that personal attention, so today we ordered from Pizza Hut -- their "big box dinner" special that we just saw advertised during the Vikings game (Corporate manipulation at its best).
The Pizza Hut site doesn't track the preparation, but it does tell us that our pizza will be delivered at 1:08. We'll see.
*****
Actual delivery time: 1:03 PM. With 9:32 left in the 2nd quarter, the Vikings are losing to the Denver Broncos, 7-5.
