The Pizza Wars

They’re on! The big chains are at it.

Little Caesars may have fired the first shot with their 18 inch guns. Yes, that’s right, an 18 inch pizza when 14 is the normal size for a large pizza.

Domino’s joined in by changing both their crust and sauce. Rumor has it you can now tell the difference between the crust and the box.

Other chains joined the battle and then . . .

And then . . .

And then Pizza Hut dropped a nuke. In the history of nuclear warfare, names like Fat Man and Little Boy have now been joined by Any.

Any crust*, Any size, Any toppings, $10. And they mean it. (*Stuffed is not a crust. It’s cheese rolled into the edges of the crust. Probably because of the additional time needed to make one, it costs $1 more.)

More changes are coming; you can almost smell them in the air. Or maybe that’s the smoke coming from corporate offices melting down brainstorming their next steps.

What does this mean?

For you and me, it means eating more pizza, maybe better pizza, and it probably means more delivery drivers on the road. Watch out for them, the job’s dangerous enough without us on the road eating our picked up pizzas.

Anybody using their personal vehicle for business can deduct mileage from their taxes. I created it for others but those pizza drivers can use the Business Mileage Worksheet and save a lot of money. It’s under $2 here: travelersmassage.net
