Yesterday was Mike’s birthday party and we had a pizza party. I got pizza from 3 different places.
We got a meat lover’s and a vegetarian pizza from Marina Pizza Parlor, one of our regular places. Marina’s pizzas have a relatively thin crust and lots of toppings. They are better than Domino’s but otherwise unremarkable. On the plus side their pizzas are larger than average, while the medium is 14″ the large is 18″, compare that with Pizza Guys, another place from where we get frequent deliveries, where a large is merely 14″.

We also got a shish kabob pizza from Shish Kebab Etc.. The pizza was OK but I really liked the kebab topping – Mike didn’t, he doesn’t think kebabs belong on pizza.
And then we got 3 1-topping pizzas from Domino’s. I personally like Domino’s, though other people seem to be pickier.
Finally, we got an ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins. Their cakes are expensive (about $32 for a 9″ one), but what a great way to have your cake and ice cream too!
Marina Pizza Parlor will not honor their coupon in The East Bay Area entertainment ’08 book. It is coupon C242, and states you get one free pizza when a second of equal or greater value is purchased (Up to $17 value). When I tried to order a large pizza for $16.95 to get a free one, I was told I could only order medium (Up to $13.95). I politely explained their coupon clearly said otherwise, but they refused to accept anyway. I told them this amounted to false advertising, but they just hung up on me. I called back, spoke to the manager telling him I planned to contact entertainment.com & the owner, so wanted the owner’s name. He said he was the owner & told me to go ahead and contact them, he didn’t care. I wouldn’t take it if it was free now!
