Dear Domino's: I can eat a whole pizza myself

by Bob Sassone, Posted Jan 17th 2007 @ 1:15PM

Dear Domino's,

I'm not going to lie to you. When it comes to fast food pizza, I'm a Pizza Hut guy. Actually, before I even get to calling Pizza Hut, I'll go with one of the two local pizza places in my town. They're two of the best pizzas I've ever had anywhere, and I usually go with one of them. But last night I had this craving for one of your deep dish pepperoni pizzas. Plus there's a Domino's right next door to my apartment and I didn't feel like going across town.

So I went to you web site and almost ordered the pizza online. Not because I'm lazy, but because I've never ordered a pizza online before and thought it would be fun. I decided to just walk over because it's only about 33 steps from my front door. But while I was on your site I noticed something that troubles me.

You say on this page here that one of your medium pizzas is 12 inches and serves 2 to 4 people and that your large is 14 inches and serves 3 to 5 people. Question: how big are these people? Because, to be honest, I can eat one of your medium pizzas, even if it's deep dish and with a topping, with no problem whatsoever. And I can finish about 80% of the large, and that number goes to 100% if I take a break and eat the last couple of slices later that night.

Which is exactly what happened last night.

Now, I'm not saying that people should eat whole pizzas all by themselves. But I am saying that I think you really underestimate the eating ability of a really hungry guy.

Sincerely,

Bob Sassone

I already know i will be dying of heart disease, I will be the poster child for the skinny tall people with high metabolizam that think they are immune :-)

i ate half of the pizza at night, and i was still hungry, but i stopped myself because i didn't wanna have bathroom problems (jalapenos was one of the toppings). i woke up hungry and ate the other half of the pizza.

and i weigh less than 110 lb.
