Make Your Engagement Extra Special by Proposing at Pizza Hut

Cassie Murdoch — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:55:00 EST

Asking someone to marry you is one of life's most amazing events; so what better place to do it than at Pizza Hut, one of the most amazing places on the planet. For the bargain price of just $10,010, you can get a complete Pizza Hut proposal package. That may seem a bit pricey for what is not necessarily the most gourmet pizza pie, but before you balk, you should know they provide the ring! And they also throw in limo service, a videographer, a photographer, flowers, fireworks, and...$10 worth of pizza and breadsticks to chow down on after she says yes. (Or you could hide the ring under a slice of pepperoni and propose mid-meal, if you want to make in an extra greasy engagement.) This is one can't lose meal deal, because there is no girl in the world who would say no to a question popped with pizza. You'd better act quickly though. They're only offering 10 of these packages, and you've got to buy before Valentine's Day. More »

Papa John's Employee Unwisely Decides to Call Customer 'Lady Chinky Eyes'

Cassie Murdoch — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 12:05:00 EST

Papa John's Pizza promises you "Better Ingredients. Better Pizza," but they may now also have to worry about offering up "Less Racism." Yesterday, Minhee Cho posted a Papa John's receipt on Twitter where they'd put her name down as "lady chinky eyes." Stay classy, Papa John's employees! Obviously the minute this hit the internet, the shit hit the fan. And now, Papa John's has issued a formal apology and fired the employee from the New York location who was responsible. They are reportedly also trying to reach Cho to apologize personally. Here's hoping they don't offer her a lifetime of free pizza. The poor woman has suffered enough!

Doug Barry — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 15:25:00 EST

Cain's Accuser Won't Come Forward, Uninterested In Becoming Another Anita Hill

Dominos Dreams Of Selling Mediocre Pizza On The Moon

Margaret Hartmann — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 13:30:00 EDT

Apparently Dominos executives in Japan have a lot of time on their hands, because they've come up with an elaborate plan for opening a store on the moon. After consulting with a construction firm, they determined that transporting 70 tons of concrete, along with pizza making equipment, will cost $22 billion. They were able to keep the cost so reasonable by devising a plan to use the moon's mineral deposits to construct the two-story domed building. A company spokesman said they aren't sure when the restaurant will open, but they're very confident that soon there will be "many people living on the moon, astronauts who are working there and, in the future, citizens of the moon," — and naturally, they'll all be clamoring for a pizza that's famous for tasting slightly less like cardboard than it used to.

Dodai here. OMG. I love pizza. I had pizza...

Dodai Stewart — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 11:20:00 EDT

Dodai here. OMG. I love pizza. I had pizza for dinner last night. It had onions and barbecue sauce on it and it rocked my small, small world. But apparently, for 1 million American women, eating pizza means awful pelvic pain and an urgent need to frequently urinate. According to researchers at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, the pelvic pain is so intense that some women administer anesthetic lidocaine directly into their bladders via a catheter to get relief. Oy. [UPI] More »
