This is what he posted:
At 10am today, I had a volunteer of the Democratic Party of NC, that I was informed I could not state, ask me if I was willing to donate enough pizzas to feed 3000 people two slices of pizza by noon. Just doing basic math....
3000 people x 2 slices each = 6000 slices
6000 slices / 8 slices per pizza = 750 pizzas
750 pizzas cooked by 2 ovens ~ 120 pizzas per hour combined = ~6 hours to complete JUST the cooking (not the docking/slapping/saucing/cheesing/topping mind you)
Then when I got the math together, they then asked for "all specialties" because they think they would be received the best by their volunteers. I had to outright tell them it was physically impossible to do that many in that short amount of time, let alone with no notice so I didn't have no where even close to the amount of dough prepared and proofed for it. At most I told them I can get 100 and I have to get permission from the owner to do that many.
His response: You have just made a huge mistake on missing out on this prime marketing and PR opportunity. We will go to Papa Johns or Dominoes and they'll give us what we need in an hour.
I hung up and laughed my ass off! Don't know of many places who CAN crank out 750 pizzas within two hours with NO notice.
**as an addition, I did a bit more math than he did.... and since his large specialties cost about $16 a pop, that comes out to about $12,000 in pizzas.
All I can do is shake my head at the though process of some volunteer jackasses, no matter what party or affiliation because they do not understand the basics in food industry.
