Ever wondered what it was like to deliver pizza? Burn rubber and melt cheese playing "Pizza City". The all new flash game from Adult Swim.

Take orders and deliver them to the townsfolk in your car, but don't get too banged up on the way and try not to run people over or you'll get busted and eventually fired! Running down clowns and robbers is a bonus!

Don't run out of gas or you'll have to get a tow and you could get fired!

When you make enough money you can get a new car from Sal and deliver more pizzas. Hit the nitro button for super fast deliveries.

Ok so it's nothing at all like delivering pizza in the real world but we thought it was so much fun we wanted to share it with everyone.

So take a break from reality for awhile and check out Pizza City from AdultSwim.com

It's great for passing time during your lunch break at work....

Frequently Asked Questions

noreply@blogger.com (The Pizza Factory) — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 17:33:00 +0000

1. How big is your large pizza?

Our large pizza is 16 inches across which is the size of most other pizzerias extra large.

2. Do you have an extra large pizza?

No.

3. Can you do a thin or a thick crust pizza?

Yes! Our thin and thick crust pizzas are hand tossed not pre-made like the chains.

4. What is the difference between your calzone and your stromboli?

Our calzones are first streched into a circle like a pizza. Then we spread our own home made ricotta cheese over half of it. Next we put in the fillings of your choice and cover that with a generous amount of mozzarella cheese. Finally we fold it over and pinch it together at the seams like a turnover. Next it is cooked to a golden brown, brushed with garlic butter and served with a side of our home made pizza sauce.

Our strombolis are first stretched out into a rectangle. Then we spread a generous amount of mozzarella cheese across the middle. Next we add our own home made oil and vinegar dressing and a dash of salt and pepper. Then we add the fillings of your choice and top that with a generous portion of romano cheese. Finally we pull the bottom of the dough up and over your fillings and tuck it in. Then we pull the top of the dough over and downward and tuck it under. Next it is cooked till the outside reaches a slightly dark brown color, brushed with garlic butter and served with a side of our home made pizza sauce.

5. Do you have another store?

Not at the moment. We are a family run local small business.

Dominoes Workers Arrested, Finally.

noreply@blogger.com (The Pizza Factory) — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 18:41:00 +0000

CONOVER, N.C. (AP) - A gross video posted on YouTube showing a Domino's Pizza worker stuffing cheese up his nostril and waving salami under his rear end as he is making sandwiches has led to charges against him and a co-worker who recorded him, authorities said Wednesday.

Kristy Lynn Hammonds, 31, of Taylorsville and Michael Anthony Setzer, 32, of Conover are each charged with distributing prohibited foods. Police chief Gary Lafone says it is the same North Carolina statute that forbids any tampering with Halloween candy.

In the video, Setzer is making sandwiches while a giggling Hammonds narrates and urges him to "do it again, do it again" in putting the cheese up his nose. It appears he threw some of the cheese in the garbage but some went on a sandwich.

Setzer says: "This is Michael's special Italian sandwich."

Hammonds says the sandwiches were meant to be delivered soon to customers and that "little did they know that the cheese was in his nose."

Domino's spokesman Tim McIntyre said the workers were fired and there is no evidence any of the tampered foods were served to customers. He said the company also may pursue a lawsuit.

Company CEO Patrick Doyle posted another video in response, saying the store had been sanitized "top to bottom."

"We're re-examining all of our hiring practices to make sure that people like this don't make it into our stores," he said.

Setzer was released from the Catawba County jail on $7,500 bond, while Hammonds remained in custody late Wednesday night. A deputy at the jail couldn't say if the two had retained attorneys, but they were scheduled to appear in court on Thursday.

A man identifying himself on the phone as Setzer's father said the family is not commenting.

The FBI Tries To Order Pizza

noreply@blogger.com (The Pizza Factory) — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 18:09:00 +0000

The following is a direct quote from the Center for Strategic and International Studies report on GLOBAL ORGANIZED CRIME; the author who introduces the story swears it's true.

FBI agents conducted a raid of a psychiatric hospital in San Diego that was under investigation for medical insurance fraud. After hours of reviewing thousands of medical records, the dozens of agents had worked up quite an appetite. The agent in charge of the investigation called a nearby pizza parlor with delivery service to order a quick dinner for his colleagues.

The following telephone conversation took place and was recorded by the FBI because they were taping all conversations at the hospital.

Agent: Hello. I would like to order 19 large pizzas and 67 cans of soda.

Pizza Man: And where would you like them delivered?

Agent: We're over at the psychiatric hospital.

Pizza Man: The psychiatric hospital?

Agent: That's right. I'm an FBI agent.

Pizza Man: You're an FBI agent?

Agent: That's correct. Just about everybody here is.

Pizza Man: And you're at the psychiatric hospital?

Agent: That's correct. And make sure you don't go through the front doors. We have them locked. You will have to go around to the back to the service entrance to deliver the pizzas.

Pizza Man: And you say you're all FBI agents?

Agent: That's right. How soon can you have them here?

Pizza Man: And everyone at the psychiatric hospital is an FBI agent?

Agent: That's right. We've been here all day and we're starving.

Pizza Man: How are you going to pay for all of this?

Agent: I have my checkbook right here.

Pizza Man: And you're all FBI agents?

Agent: That's right. Everyone here is an FBI agent. Can you remember to bring the pizzas and sodas to the service entrance in the rear? We have the front doors locked.

Pizza Man: I don't think so.

Agent: Click!

Pizza History

noreply@blogger.com (The Pizza Factory) — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 18:05:00 +0000

Basic pizza most likely began in prehistoric times, with bread cooked on flat, hot stones.
Roughly 1,000 years ago herb-and-spice-covered circles of baked dough grew exceptionally popular in Naples, Italy. Known as focaccia, these rounds were served as an appetizer or a snack. (Source: Smithsonian)
Pizza developed in Italy in pre-refrigerator times. After focaccia, its most direct ancestor was "Casa de nanza," which means "take out before." Housewives would pound out dough into a thin crust and place leftovers on to bake. Pizza was a peasant food designed to be eaten without utensils and, like the French crepe and the Mexican taco, was a way to make use of fresh produce available locally and to get rid of leftovers.
But pizza as we know it could not have evolved until the late 1600s when Old World Europeans overcame their fear of a New World discovery - tomatoes. Native to Peru and Ecuador, a plant which produced yellow or red fruit (later called tomatoes) was introduced to Europe in the early 1500s. Brought back by Conquistadors to Spain, the tomato was thought to be poisonous and was viewed with suspicion. It wasn't until the late 1600s that Europeans began to eat the tomato. (Source: Smithsonian and PIZZA TODAY)
The peasants of Naples, Italy, who lived mostly off of bread and little else, were the first to add tomatoes to their focaccia bread rounds. In 1830 pizza truly began with the opening of the world's first pizzeria. Named Port'Alba, the pizzas were cooked in an oven lined with lava from Mount Vesuvius, a volcano located on the Bay of Naples. (Source: Smithsonian)
Modern pizza was born in 1889 when Queen Margherita Teresa Giovanni, the consort of Umberto I, king of Italy, visited Naples. Don Raffaele Esposito, who owned a tavern-like place called Pietro Il Pizzaiolo, was asked to prepare a special dish in honor of the Queen's visit. Esposito developed a pizza featuring tomatoes, mozzarella cheese (a never before used ingredient made from the milk of water buffalo) and basil - ingredients bearing the colors red, white and green for the Italian flag. He named it the Margherita Pizza, after the guest of honor. Thus, the modern-day tomato-and-cheese pizza was born. (Source: Smithsonian and PIZZA TODAY)
Shops in the volcano-devastated city of Pompeii bear the characteristics of a pizzeria. Marie Antionette's sister, Marie Carolina, wife of Ferdinand I of Sicily and Naples, had ovens built in the forest so she could enjoy pizza while the Royal Hunting Party feasted on wild ducklings and pigs killed in the hunt.
The popularity of pizza exploded throughout the country when World War II servicemen returning from Italy began opening pizzerias and raving about that "great Italian dish." In 1905, Gennaro Lombardi opened the first licensed American pizzeria, Lombardi's Pizzeria Napoletana, at 53-1/2 Spring Street in New York City. (From The Art of Pizzaiolo, by John Thorn.) America is the new pizza renaissance leader in the world and is exporting our technology of pizza production and promotion on an ever-increasing basis.
Pizza restaurants are opening in such unlikely locations as the Caribbean islands of Curacao and Bonaire; the South Pacific atoll of Palau; and in most Arab countries. The deep-dish pizza was invented in Chicago by pizza entrepreneur Ike Sewell. His restaurant, Pizzeria Uno, is still going strong today.

Facts About Toppings

noreply@blogger.com (The Pizza Factory) — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 18:02:00 +0000

Pepperoni is America's favorite topping (36 percent of all pizza orders); we eat approximately 251,770,000 pounds per year. Other popular pizza toppings are mushrooms, extra cheese, sausage, green pepper and onion.
In America, anchovies always rank last on the list of favorite toppings.
Gourmet toppings are gaining ground in some parts of the country with such toppings as chicken, oysters, chicken, crayfish, dandelions, sprouts, eggplant, Cajun shrimp, artichoke hearts and tuna.
Pizza lovers are experimenting with gourmet toppings by ordering oysters, chicken, shrimp, eggplant, artichoke hearts, dandelions and tuna. More recent trends include game meats like venison or duck, and Canadian-style bacon.
Sixty-two percent of Americans prefer meat toppings on their pizza, while 38% prefer vegetarian. (source: Bolla wines)
Women are twice as likely as men to order vegetable toppings on their pizza. (Source: Bolla wines)
According to Domino's, some of the more popular international toppings are: pickled ginger, minced mutton and tofu in India, squid and Mayo Jaga (mayonnaise, potato and bacon) in Japan, and green peas in Brazil. In Russia, they serve pizza covered with mockba, which is a combination of sardines, tuna, mackerel, salmon and onions. In France, a popular combo is called the Flambée, with bacon, onion and fresh cream.
Around the world, toppings vary greatly to reflect regional preferences. In Japan, for instance, eel and squid are favorites. In Pakistan, curry is a big seller. In Russia, red herring is a topping of choice and Australians enjoy shrimp and pineapple on their pies as well as barbecue toppings. Costa Ricans favor coconut. (Courtesy of Numero Uno Pizzeria)
In the Netherlands, the "Double Dutch" is a favorite, with double cheese, double onions, double beef. (Source: Domino's Pizza)
