Pizza Stories

Just some pizza stories:

  • Some of my first memories of pizza were my mom buying pizza kits from “the pizza lady.” This lady would suddenly show up at the door with little baggies of sausage and cheese. Later on we moved on to Kroger brand pizza.
  • Some of the first franchise type pizzas we got were bought from Little Caesars. One time they got the orders mixed and we ended up having a nasty pizza with peppers.
  • During college I ate pizza at least 2 times a week. Sometimes 3 times. On Monday nights some friends and I would each get small pizzas from Channellos. They had a special – one small one topping pizza for a dollar. Usually we could get together enough change to get one. Later they raised the price to $1.25. I got burned out on Pizza Hut personal pan greaseball pizzas from the college food court. I was also fond of eating cheap Tortino pizzas during college.
  • Papa John’s Pizza was the delivery pizza of choice at Lipscomb. Rarely did I order a delivered pizza.
  • My family and I almost always order a carry out pizza on Wednesday nights. It’s because Wednesdays are usually too busy for a traditional sit down meal, because of church.
  • I’ve eaten pizza in China – at Pizza Hut and Pizza Inn. It was good, but sometimes didn’t taste the same as American pizza.
  • My favorite pizza? Papa John’s has the best pizza here. Sometimes I start craving Little Caesars and then have to remind myself that they are no longer in the Nashville area.
  • I got hooked on Tombstone Pizzas after trying a taste test at Krogers. Their marketing scheme worked because we always have at least 2 Tombstone pizzas in the freezer.

  1. Jeff, Maybe you need to give credit for your stories if you are going to steal them? It is funny how I was eating pizza when you called last night and now here it is on your web page. Come on Jeff, stop stealing from your “friends”. Give some credit to others.
    Your friend, Johnny

  2. I admit it. You were eating the Torinos pizza when I called last night. I had been craving pizza all day and decided to sum it up with this list of pizza stories. But the stories are all mine. Including the one about the most popular woman in my life while I was in elementary school -” the Pizza Lady” with her pizza kits.
