Does ordering Pizza have to be a chore?

[cliffy]

Agreed, I wish rugby would catch on in the states. But the average rugby player is 184cm tall and 95kg heavy. The average NFL'er is 187 and 111kg. They'd probably hurt themselves without all that extra padding. BTW, what is Australian football?

I once saw a Collage US football team try and train with a local rugby team. HUGELY funny just to see the difference in expectations, the grid iron boys turned up in full armor and were gobsmacked to see the local boys in shorts and t shirts practice tackles and scrums then divide up into two teams to play shirts and skins ie. one team played sans shirt. The best bit was when the locals tackled the padded up visitors and ran rings around them! I will admit that when the defence guys got a tackle the guy stayed tackled. At the end of training the Rugby guys were all laughing and joking and the Grid Iron boys were all wide eyed and muttering that the rugby guys were crazy for playing with no padding. Just to stay on topic, both teams demolished a huge amount of pizza after training!

American pizza (like all things American) are the gold standard by which all others are judged. An American chef even won the Italian pizza championship.

That looks like a relatively new competition. I wonder how it compares with the Pizzafest which has been running in Naples for longer. The current champion is Japanese and he's won it twice now.

Yeah, isn't he the guy from the Salvatorre chain of pizza shops? I like their Marinara pizzas...

[martindesu]

eak. I like pizza!

very racist

LOL..Racist? Yes, I can just see the battle for white supremacy being fought by complaining over the lack of black olives. It is total race war!

I agree. Football, or "soccer" is a girly sport. However, americans tend to play "american football" which is also for pussies. The players are covered in protective gear from head to toe. Why not play a manly sport such as Rugby or Australian Football...I am sure that you'd be man enough to play Australian Football, Charles. Right?

Any sport that involves a ball is for pussies. Real men get in a cage and beat the fuck out of each other.

What about a sport where you kick each other in the balls repeatedly?

Erm....pizza.

Real men are stupid. Being intelligent is for pussies. YEAH!

Do they ever hit each other? It looks like Ultimate Frisbee with a ball.

Real men.



Go back to playing your children's games.

The stuff show there isn't the hits.

AFL is the sport in Australia which bosts the distinction of the highest number and severity of injuries. Yes, you do get "hit".

To whom ever did the modding, thank you.

I swear, if japanese people didn't have instructions on how to do something they wouldn't even know how to wipe their own ass.

I am a fairly big fan of Pizza Hut, since the other's just don't seem to be up to par.
I haven't ordered for about a month now and so I decided to order one tonight. I usually order the Super Supreme as the others with all of the nonsense japanese style toppings don't really interest me. As I was placing my order I found out that they don't offer the Super Supreme anymore. Shocked with disbelief as this is one of Pizza Huts trademarks par say. I looked for something that may be a good substitution. Well, I found one however, I noticed that there were no black olives. When I asked to add some olives, they said that they don't offer black olives anymore. ?!?!?!?! What the hell is this all about. Is this Pizza Hut or what? After a short argument with my wife on how stupid this was(as I don't have anyone else to vent to), I cancelled my order.

Sooo, a bit peeved and disappointed, we figured to give Pizza-la a shot as I am not a big fan of Domino's.

Upon looking at their menu, we decided on a half and half. The wife decided to order the ebi-mayo and I decided on the spicy italian. Well, get ready for it....They can't do that combination?!?!?!?
Eh...I asked why. Their reason(so typical of someone with only a picture of a pizza on how to make it)was...
If I want to mix the two, they have to be in a certain series. ??? In other words if I want the Spicy Italian and half of something else, I have to order something from the "Italian series" and the ebi-mayo was not in the "Italian series".
What kind of B.S. is this?
I mean come on people. Why in the hell can't you mix the two. I will tell you why....Because it is not on a piece of paper on how to do it and at the minute of asking something like this, everyone panics. What to do, what to do. It's not on the paper, we don't know how to do it.

When will Japanese people ever learn to think for themselves??? This is rediculous.


Whew, I feel better now.

Old thread and all, but just stumbled across it.

I had the same thing happen with pizza hut and the olives. They also did away with whatever the hell the cheese crust stuff they had was, and non-pizza items tend to change fairly often too (the wife doesn't like pizza).

Unfortunately we only have 4 places that deliver here. Pizza hut, Dominos, Pizza La, and some privately owned non-chain place.

Pizza hut isn't great but it's better than all the others (IMO). Pizza La was just awful, dominos here sucks, and the local owned place nearly killed me (it was awful, but I'll be damned if I throw away a 3000 yen pizza ).

We order pizza once every 1-2 months as my special "gaijin food" treat, since my wife can't/won't cook western food, and after they changed a lot of their menu choices I stopped ordering Pizza Hut for a few months and tried each of the other places, but ended up going back to Pizza Hut...

I keep a case of canned olives in the house now though

[ttjereth]

But I use this really amazing delivery service for food.. http://demae-can.com/

This got me really excited, then looking at the site I noticed all there were for my area was the same 10 or so shops I already knew about.

Edogawa-ku, Tokyo's asshole.

Ah well.

You might like Costco's pizza. If you are near a Costco you should definitely go, if not you can order through The Flying Pig.

(Re Chuck's "do it yourself" reply... He's a wanker, best ignored 95%+ of the time.)

Costco's pizza is great. My wife's family thinks I'm insane because I buy a ready made pie to take home anytime we go

... I just thought I'd take this thread back off topic to Australian football:


Jailed Aussie sailors may learn fate today after fight

Philip Graeme Ferres, 26, and Kolis Barba, 24, have been locked up in San Diego's Central Jail since their arrest in the early hours of Thursday morning.

Police accuse them of hitting and kicking their alleged victim, breaking his eye socket, after an argument flared at a party about Australian rules football and American gridiron.

Edit: The title should say, "I HATE to give ...". I hope that wasn't a freudian slip.

[FG Lurker]

Aussie sailors may learn fate today after fight

The yanks were probably screaming like pussies, "LET ME GET MY PADS FIRST!"

[Big Booger]

"I don't care what you say, American football rules" LOL

POW BAM BOOM

2 aussies in the slammer, one American in the hospital.

Would make for a kickass comic series.

2 Australian military personnel vs. 1 American civilian.

Yeah. Real macho.

Now if I would have said that, it would have been censored by the FG Pro-Oz Moderator Faction. So I have nothing to add, other than to note that apparently it takes two ozzie soldiers to beat one American civilian.

Too bad you weren't there on the scene eh Chuck? You could've given them a piece of your mind directly! Damn shame, I have to say.

This is as factually accurate as the saying that the declining number of pirates is responsible for global warming. I think it is more interesting that one obnoxious yank managed to push two Aussie soldiers to the point of beating him near to death.

. . . we figured to give Pizza-la a shot . . .

. . . we decided on a half and half. The wife decided to order the ebi-mayo and I decided on the spicy italian. Well, get ready for it....They can't do that combination?!?!?!?

. . . I mean come on people. Why in the hell can't you mix the two. . . .

Actually, mixing an ebi-mayo and spicy Italian topping on the one pizza leads to rapid atomic destabilisation ("RAD").

The atomic blasts in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 were the direct results of mixing toppings that are extremely unstable together. The two bombs contained carefully prepared and separated halves of incompatible pizza toppings which, upon impact, were forced together, resulting in a RAD reaction.

The bombs were also given pizza-themed names: "Fat-man" after a typical pizza eater and/or shop owner, and "Little Boy" after a typical pizza delivery system.

It is widely understood that "Fat Man" in fact used the very topping combination you requested of your local establishment - ebi-mayo and spicy Italian - or was it ebi-mayo and something else, dropped from a plane by a spicy Italian?

Anyway, "Little Boy" reportedly relied on the simpler but more powerful combination of "vegetarian" and "meat-lover" toppings using black olives and BBQ sauce as a catalyst.

Pizza shops are issued with a list of banned combinations as part of their licensing agreements. Apparently, Chernobyl, Russia was the most recent time that a cafeteria/canteen flaunted those rules.

So, beware, my friend, combining pizza toppings should only be undertaken by licensed professionals and under strictly controlled conditions.

The correlation between pirate population and global warming is well established, and was a major point of Al Gore's movie. But don't worry. I am working hard to combat global warming by restoring the world's pirate population, and I hope you all will join me in the effort.

Yeah, two on one isn't fair, but I generally haven't found military guys to be any tougher than the average guy.


FGL, when it comes to obnoxiousness, I have to say the Australians are generally the only people I've met that are on par with my fellow Americans

You have to put things in the proper perspective. What others may perceive as obnoxiousness is merely our privilege as Leaders of the Free World. When other nationalities are obnoxious, they are merely acting out of an inferiority complex.

And everyone told you that you'd never use that physics degree in Japan... I heard Iran is hiring, now that N. Kor seems to be out of the bomb making biz. I believe everything that FOXNews tells me to believe by the way. Go Rupert!
