Take (and pretty much do it yourself) and Bake

If you ask my what my favorite pizza is, you might think I'm joking. It sounds like some sort of weird pregnancy craving gone wrong, but it is actually the most delicious combination: Pineapple and Anchovies.

If I were to open a restaurant it would be the house special and I would call it The Sponge Bob™.

The other night Joel and I were craving said pizza. Unfortunately we didn't have all of the ingredients, so we decided to order out. There are a number of pizza places in town, but most can take up to an hour to deliver, and we wanted to eat sooner than that. We considered running out to the store to make our own, but then decided it would be quicker to order from Papa Murphy's because it is actually right next to the grocery store AND they do all the work for you -- or so we thought.

I called ahead to place the order (HELPFUL HINT: If you live in Hollister, CA the number is easy to remember: 637-PAPA, but for Alamedans like us, you have to dial 865-4777 or 865-GRRR). They took the order without question, leading me to believe it may not have been that uncommon. I was told it would ready to pick up in 5 minutes, so with that I was out the door and on the way to pick up dinner. I was so excited knowing in just over 12-18 minutes we would have a pizza ready to eat.

You can imagine my surprise when arriving at Papa M's to see exactly how the pizza was prepared (i.e., not at all):



(it's a little difficult to tell, but they actually wrapped the entire can of anchovies into the top of the pizza)

So much for time-savings...GRRR!!!
