Did you know that more pizza is ordered on Super Bowl Sunday than on any other day of the year? Damn! In keeping with solidarity for IWW-Pizza Hut Workers Union members in Sheffield, UK I will not be ordering Pizza Hut Pizza today and I encourage you to do the same! Instead try a DIY Pizza. Bake it before the big game to fill your house with a pizzalicious smell! Here are some interesting and creative takes on making an already awesomely portable food even more game-day-friendly!

Blow Toad - Richmond, VA

Last Friday, some friends and I went to a preview of Blow Toad, Richmond's first and only coal fired pizza place. This is the new restaurant of two-time nominee for the James Beard Award and lauded local restaurateur Jimmy Sneed.   Sneed has had his hands in several well-known and award-winning restaurants including Richmond's The Frog and the Redneck (now closed) and Chicago's SugarToad .  He also is co-owner of the acclaimed veg-friendly restaurant and pizzeria Fresca on Addison with his daughter. The chef de cuisine is Nikoli Creatore, a veteran of Balliceaux which has always had an exceptionally creative and delicious menu. Naturally with all these accolades I was expecting some awesome pizza but what we got fell far short of my expectations.  At this very generous, FREE preview the team at BlowToad were dishing up pizza, samples of entrees and appetizers and dessert. The waitress came to take our order for two pies and three ap/entree samples and drinks...

The Pizza Hut Workers Union in Sheffield UK ha issued the following call for action! Greetings Fellow Workers, Pizza Hut Workers Call Out for Solidarity - 4th of February 2012 On the 4th of February Pizza Hut Workers will be holding a protest outside our store in Sheffield in continuation of an ongoing dispute over working conditions, and we are requesting solidarity pickets at Pizza Hut stores, mangered or franchised.   Details of dispute to date : In April of last year Pizza Hut workers placed a collective grievance about the following issues – ·         Bank Holiday Pay – The standard practice in the UK is for workers to be paid a rate of time and a half for working unsociable days, such as Boxing day, or New Year’s eve. However, Pizza Hut has reversed this in all cases now across all its stores, and now even if a worker was to be in on Christmas day they would still be paid the standard wage. We demand that Pizza Hut pay all ...

Rita Lawlor, PIZZALICIOUS HERO!

When 7-year-old Rita Lawlor of Sarasota, Florida found her mother unconscious she jumped to action and tried to wake her mom... by slapping her with a slice of pizza! When that didn't work she called 9-1-1.  Lawlor kept her cool and helped the firemen and paramedics when the arrived. Her pizzalicious first aid and quick thinking won her an award (and hopefully a pizza) from Sarasota County Fire Fighters. Little Rita! You ROCK! I wanna buy you a pizza! If you read this blog tell you mom to e-mail me and I will send you a pizza from your favorite place in Sarasota! Folks this is First Aid 101. If you can't wake someone with pizza call 9-1-1 immediately! Thanks to Will for the heads up on this pizzalicious rescue!
