Remember, pizza doesn’t represent the “real” economy. :)
I had a girlfriend in Windsor who went to pizza college in Ann Arbor back when she was a youngster living in Toronto.

In the 80’s when my small business was struggling, I paid my employees by working a second job at Pizza Hut.
It also kept me fed.
I have no idea what a Pizza cost in the US, but we now have a new pizza delivery in my small town on Cebu.
Alberto’s, with free delivery.
They have about 20 varieties using Mozzarella.
11 inch pizzas cost $3.50 for an all pepperoni up to
$6.00 for a “Full House”.
We have had several of the Full House pizzas...quite nice.
Other items, including ice cream, are available.
It comes by motorcycle in less then 30 min from time of order.
The delivery boy is quite happy to get a 10 peso (20 cent) tip.
The volume of late-night pizza deliveries to the Pentagon foretell the fate of entire nations.

Did anyone else think of etch-a-sketch watching this?
Less and fewer.
Ahem! I think that the wording of the ad is actually correct. Less is for non-discrete amounts: less salt, less water, less courage. Fewer is for discrete items: fewer grains, fewer bottles of water, fewer people.
Measures of distance and time, for example, are arbitrary measures on a scale, not discrete (counted) items. So, I would argue, we would refer to less time, and also time less than a certain measure (whether in days, hours, minutes, &c.) In measuring time, one is not counting discrete lumps or objects, but merely points on a continuous scale.
