"pizza party" news and stories

Pizza dough is a staple in my freezer. I entertain often and while most store-bought versions are good, I'm hooked on the taste of this homemade recipe. I've tested so many different pizza recipes and this one is a combination of my favorites. For me, a great pizza has a crispy outer crust with a soft-textured dough on the inside, baked perfectly in a preheated oven.

For cocktail parties, mini homemade pizzas are easy to make and are elegant enough for our buffet table. I make two to three batches of the whole-wheat dough recipe, depending on the number of guests. Divide your choice of ingredient among individual rounds and use your creativity to top this tasty crust. If you are using meats, seafood or dense vegetables, precook them before topping your pizza.

Let me begin by confessing my lack of knowledge about Unix. With that out of the way, I just learned about Pizza Party, a text-based piece of software designed to work with Domino's Pizza's QuikOrder system. Generally, I've always been impressed when friends have taken the time to order a pizza online, rather than just calling. In turn, I'm even more impressed that someone has written a program to order pizza online. Basically, you just type in your pizza parameters and it uses your Domino's user name and password to deliver your order to their site. There are some security issues, however. Nevertheless, it's still a fun idea. I also like that it "supports most currently popular toppings like 'mushrooms', and 'pepperoni'!"

If you don't like Domino's, I guess you're S.O.L. Write your own program.
