Think Dylan might just drop by for a large pepperoni/mushroom to go? It would make for some great PR.Before or after he finds the prankster and has him horsewhipped? I mean, if I were Dylan and my name and credentials had been used for a prank like that, I'd be steaming mad---especially considering Dylan isn't exactly one of the world's great publicity seekers.
I think so. That would be all kinds of class.
The risk of this type of scam could be mitigated by running a place where you have to make your own pizza.You left out the part about cleaning up your own mess, since most patrons of a pizzeria wouldn't be able to roll their own without making a mess of it before they got it right! (I know I couldn't . . . my culinary talents, and I do have quite a few, don't quite extend to making, contorting, and forming my own pizza dough without a great deal of wreckage in my kitchen . . . )You know, where they give you the dough, you smash it, you pound it, you fling it in the air. And then you get to put your sauce and you get to sprinkle your cheese, and then- you slide it into the oven.
Thats $21.90 a pizza, I thought they had a $10 special or something.
>>but I’d like to know just what became of those 178 pizzas.

>They probably went into the dumpster.
Such a waste!
It would have been FAR better to turn it into a PR-event and just pick 178 people at random** and give them a pizza saying:
“Have a gift from our pizzeria, Antonio’s, we sincerely hope that you’ll come and patronize our establishment.”*
*being out the money (and a PR event) it certainly WOULDN’T be a lie.
**Or perhaps some 24-hour public-service station like fire or police, and add “Please bring your family.”
Antonio could have cut his loses by taking the pizzas to a homeless shelter or miltary base or a boys/girls club. He could have written them off his taxes and maybe got some publicity and good will.
If the guy claimed to be a Great White roadie, he could hit up one of the take-and-bake places too...
Rats can’t digest cheese. And mice aren’t too much into it either. Both would love all that bread, though.
Kind of reminds me of Imus’’ “5000 hamburgers to go” schtick in the early 1970’s. Hilarious to listen to, but no real damage done. (Did I just tell you how old I am?)
There’s a japanese somewhat pizza like bread called okonomiyaki that’s sold at restaurants as a jar of batter, a buffet of meat/vegetables/cheese/seaweed/etc and a bar of hotplates, where the costumer cooks it.

There must be some kinda way outta here, Said the joker to the thief...
Antonio could have cut his loses by taking the pizzas to a homeless shelter or miltary base or a boys/girls club. He could have written them off his taxes and maybe got some publicity and good will.For all we know, that's just what the pizzeria did, one or maybe a combination of such options.
If the guy claimed to be a Great White roadie, he could hit up one of the take-and-bake places too...But would he have lived long enough to tell about it? The way I understand it, Great White's name is still mud in New England . . .
I remember when this place opened while i was attending U-mass.
Really good pizza, Situated right next to the 2 most popular bars in town.
The owner must make a fortune.
“I don’t think Dylan himself had anything to do with this prank...”
Oh, I don’t think he did either.
I used to work in a convenience store near a facility where Aerosmith and other bands would give concerts regularly.
Of course, being a convenience store with only a few fast-food items meant we weren’t preparing huge orders for a stage crew. But I did have one of the guys give me an order, hand me a twenty, and say he’d be back later to pick up the order and the change, and he never came back.
Don’t they have homeless shelters in Amherst? At least, that way, they could write it off to charity and give some homeless people a grand treat.
What an idiot.
178 pizzas for Bob Dylan’s stage crew?
If each person eat a half a pizza, that would mean that Dylan has a crew of 356 people.
