The Pizzaman's Blurbs |
About me:
I'm a Pizzaman in MPLS.
I've delivered over 15,000 pizzas.
I have a blog via City Pages: StreetsOfPizza.com
I'm a handsome devil.
From Yahoo.com:
The Streets of Pizza: True Tales of Deliverance
The Pizza Man prowls the streets of Minneapolis and St. Paul, dropping off pies and picking up stories.
He chronicles his escapades on a gritty blog (hosted by local alternative weekly CityPages) that reads
like a stiff cocktail of Dashiell Hammett, Charles Bukowski, and Statler and Waldorf. Pizza Man's seen
it all, from vehicular kitty-cide ("The sound was brief but sickening, for I knew I had extinguished
another life force on this planet,") to belligerent drunks ("'You wanna go?' I asked, my hands starting
to ball into fists,") and lonely ladies in motel rooms ("They're usually indifferent, they just want some
pizza. I don't think I even register on their radar,"). He's also no stranger to grim genuflection:
"Songs on my iPod that I would be ok with hearing, if it was the last song I heard: 'Sweet Virginia,'
The Stones, 'Pancho & Lefty,' Nelson/Dylan, and 'Proud Mary,' Credence." Ride on, Pizza Man.
From the Minneapolis Star Tribune:
The Streets of Pizza blog offers “true tales of deliverance” (with judiciously placed obscenities)
by Pizza Man, who delivers in Minneapolis. His stories are funny, sad and insightful. On one night’s
rounds, he compares delivering a $52.50 order to a group of rich, older men in a huge house who
give him $55 (”there’s a little extra for you”) with a $19.25 order delivered to a disabled man
in an assisted-living apartment building who’s blind and has underdeveloped arms. Flipper Boy,
as he’s called, generously gives Pizza Man $25 and asks a favor: “Could you tell me what my shirt says?…
My girlfriend sent it to me and I don’t know what it says, what it looks like.” Pizza Man happily
complies and then realizes on his way out, “Flipper Boy has a girlfriend and I don’t?” In another
blog entry, he offers five reasons why his dilapidated Pizzacar is like longtime Star Tribune
sports columnist Sid Hartman, including that it “somehow, against all reason and logic, keeps going.”
