    ex land pirate here … we’d keep a map of the city on the wall for reference but it seemed like most of the drivers just remembered where places were if they’d been working there for any amount of time … I answered phones and made the pizzas when it was still ok to throw the dough up in the air, etc. fun job

        There’s a pizza dough spreader machine now. Makes it more consistent.

        Smaller places often still throw the dough, but chains usually have the machine so every pizza is the same.

          eventually they’ll just sell warm pizza food cubes and avoid the hassle of yeast all together because consistency is exactly what everyone wants, … right?

            With a chain restaurant… Yes. Consistency is exactly what people want.

            Starbucks, McDonald’s, Applebee’s.

            There’s a reason they’re all global brands, and it’s not because they’re all unique offerings, it’s cause you can walk into any one of them and know exactly what you’re going to get.

              There’s a reason they’re all global brands,

              Cookie cutting of bean counters and nefarious practices.

              and know exactly what you’re going to get.

              Which is not that good. Can’t compare to the local Pizzeria. A heat up burger from the next supermarket is also not worse or more expensive.
