Putting pizza to the test
By Sara Johnson
STAFF WRITER
Oh, Little Caesar's how I love
you. Speedy service, delicious
pizza, cheap prices, cool market
ing, cute delivery guys: you are my
favorite.
Our mission: to
seek the best pizza de
livery for Guilford stu
dents. I ordered from
three of the most popu
lar pizza joints in town
at the same time to test
their delivery skills:
Little Caesar's, Papa
John's, and Pie Works.
Little Caesar's
wowed us by delivering
our pizza in 19 minutes
on a Friday night! The
pizza was hot, but we
didn't have to wait 20
minutes for it to cool
down.
I feel the crust on
this almost perfect pizza
should be thicker. Sa
rah Weissberg said,
"Little Caesar's is good but there's
not enough cheese on it."
I recommend the "pizza, pizza
deal" that includes two medium
pizzas with three toppings for only
10.99. If you like toppings, this is
a great deal.

If you have never tried wak
ing up to the soothing sounds of
The Exploited .. .well, you really
should. At Guilford, it keeps get
ting easier to start out your day
with a loud dose of punk. The ra
dio show "Everybody Hates Us,"
with its hosts Adam Thorn and
James Fishwick has been on the
air for about a month from 8 a.m.
until 10 a.m. each Tuesday.
Their show tends to be punk

As a freshman, I remember
Papa John's as the campus favor
ite. Since then, things have
changed. I swear they've switched
to a new sauce and use too much
of it.

pizza arrived in 52 minutes. When
I tried to break off a piece of pizza,
a tidal wave of cheese and sauce
slipped off the crust. Papa John's,
although no longer my favorite,
still has my favorite crust. It's like
a fat pillow of dough, a delicious

ants all in the space of two
hours—hours that are early in
the morning. But, as first-year
student Thorn says, "Everybody
needs a little punk to wake up to."
Finding music that suits
their tastes and does not offend
the FCC is a constant challenge.
In fact, Fishwick (also a fresh
man) describes it as more of a
quest. Their tastes tend to run
in a more classical punk vein,

Papa John's should sell its crust
and garlic butter as a meal. I
would buy it.
The last to arrive was the
scorned medium pepperoni
Pie Works pizza. Pie Works has a
reputation for its strange, original
pizzas. If you like weird pizza,
then go ahead. Pie Works is more
pricey than most. We ordered a
medium pizza with one topping
that was $9.75 without tip. The
estimated time of arrival was said
to be an hour to an hour and fif
teen minutes. I was already full
from Little Caesar's and Papa
John's and was waiting to enjoy
my Friday night when Pie Works
finally showed up after an hour
and a half.
Adrienne Owens who
sampled the Pie Works pizza, said,

and Fishwick is a confessed
"record-geek" with an extensive
collection, so they play a variety
of music you might not here else
where.
They also make a conscious
effort to "stretch the boundaries
of the term punk," as Fishwick
said. "If that doesn't make sense
,it's because I am really tired,"
he continued.
Every morning at 9:00 a.m.
they play a song by pop-punk
band Screeching Weasel.

We do not approve of
Pie Works delivery. Their "Sam
pler" in the restaurant is quite
good. You pay $6.95 and get all
you can eat of a variety of pizza.
Becca Baird said, "It's good
because you get bread sticks, a
salad, a coke, and have a selection
of maybe 8 or 9 pizzas and a desert
pizza. And you get as much pizza
as you want. It rules. It's one of
my favorite restaurants in Greens
boro."
Most people have strong pizza
preferences. Thin, thick, stuffed,

damn show.
WQFS already has a few
similar, punk-formatted shows,
but these DJs hope that they will
fill a niche. Maybe there is an
early-morning punk show niche,
who knows? They claim to al

ers, including one of Thorn's
cousins.
So listen to Everybody Hates
Us. In fact, call them and request
a song; if it is vaguely punk, they
will play it.
