Pizza craving from over 2,250 kilometers away
Print Edition
A Canadian couple are going to extreme lengths as they prepare to watch tomorrow’s Super Bowl by placing a pizza delivery order from their favorite restaurant — over 2,253 kilometers away.
Lee and Carol Brown, who recently moved to Regina, Saskatchewan from Windsor, Ontario, told Canadian media they placed the order after failing to find a local pizza parlor to their liking.
So as the Browns hunker down for the Super Bowl they’ll be tucking into an extra-large pie courtesy of Windsor’s Arcata Pizza, weighing in at C$140 (US$110).
Most of the cost is absorbed by the delivery fee charged by UPS.
The pie was made fresh by Arcata before being frozen immediately; the Browns will cook it before the game.
“The sauce is good, the dough is good, the toppings are fresh, Arcata was the best pizza in town for us,” Carol Brown was quoted as saying.
“We talk about it all the time. We don’t really eat pizza here. We’ve tried it here, it’s just not the same.
“We miss pizza from Windsor. I thought, I’d love to get one shipped. I’d just like to have that pie.”
Arcata pizza owner Bob Abumeeiz admitted he thought the couple were joking when their long-distance order was placed.
“A week ago I got the phone call and I thought it was crazy and it was someone playing a joke on me, but then I realized it was for real,” he said.
