Huge Pie News

Thinking of sending out for pizza? Well, if you're really hungry, Big Mama's and Papa's Pizzeria on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles will send over a 54-inch square pizza for "only" $199.99 plus tax. That's just for your basic cheese. Toppings will run you fifteen bucks apiece. They say it'll feed 50-70 people.

The pizza comes in a 54-inch box and I guess if you order one, you have to have a doorway that can accommodate it. After all, you can't exactly turn the box vertical to get it inside.

I was at a party a few months ago where they brought in Big Mama's and Papa's pizzas but in the less awesome 36-inch round size. They came cut into slices, most of them square, and I remember thinking it was very awkward to reach the ones near the top. People ate the slices at the front of the box and then someone had to elevate the back of the box a little to allow the hard-to-reach slices to slide down to the front where they'd be accessible. I also remember thinking that if you'd spread tomato sauce and melted cheese on the cardboard box, it would have been tastier. Bigger is not always better.
