snip ..... 'It's not like canned stuff. You go to other places up here, and they just serve crap. Airport Pizza is really fluffy and the texture is nice.'
snip .... 'Just before Christmas, 50 pizzas were flown to Savoonga, about 160 miles (across the Bering Sea) west of Nome on the northern coast of St. Lawrence Island. Mayor Jane Kava said the city ordered them as gifts for families.
The order: Twenty-five Hawaiians, with Canadian bacon, pineapple, mozzarella and marinara; and 25 chicken ranch, with chicken, bacon, red onion, tomato, mozzarella, cheddar and country ranch sauce.'
Frozen pizza?
Nome is NOT the last town in America that didn't have pizza delivery. I read that article in the Anchorage paper today too. We live in eastern Interior of Alaska and we do not have pizza delivery either. Only one restaurant in town that is open all year and they don't deliver, and don't even make a decent pizza. LOL
On a side note: When we lived north of the arctic circle, my husband drove to Fairbanks for supplies (an 8-10 hour drive, one-way) and when he returned he had brought a stack of pizzas. He delivered them by snowmachine, 20 miles away, to some of our friends at 40-below. Now THAT'S pizza delivery service!
I was wondering how they could possibly make any money... but apparently these are bulk orders?
