This video can be summed up in four unappetizing words:  “Chocolate Spread on Cheese.”

Chefs of the world, your jobs are safe for now. 

While Google Demoslams can often be innovative, they sure don’t sound very appetizing…

As a self-admitted nerd, I have to say that I absolutely love pizza.  Not just the taste, but there are other reasons, some more nerdy than others:

1.)  I don’t have to prepare it, or leave my lair to get it.  While there are other delivery foods, most people think immediately of pizza when they don’t feel like cooking, and also don’t feel like even getting in the car to go get food.

2.)  It’s got all the food groups.  While hardly health conscious, I do try pay some measure of attention to what I put in my body.  Burgers and fries cover barely 3 food groups, and its debatable whether a pickle and small piece of lettuce can count as a serving of fruits and vegetables.

3.)  Shelf-life.  I can order a large pizza, and eat only a few slices.  The rest I can put in my refrigerator and eat cold for breakfast, or reheat it quickly if so inclined.  This is particularly important if you are a nerd who is a bit reclusive, since most delivery foods are not meals for one.

4.)  Value.  Pizza places are generally pretty competitive with coupons and such, but lately there has been an all-out price war.  For less than two meals at McDonald’s, you can get a large pizza pie, which usually gives me lunch, dinner, and breakfast the next morning.

5.)  It is so easy to order.  Traditionally calling is convenient, but ordering on the internet is so much cooler.  Domino’s for instance has a pizza tracker, which will tell you the name of the person making it, what time it went in the oven, and what time it went out for delivery, and the name of the person bringing it.  This should give you ample time to scrounge the sofa cushions to find a suitable tip for the delivery-person.

6.)  It’s customizable.  Burgers and fries can really only be made so many ways, while pizza options and topping combinations are virtually limitless.

7.)  Pizza is round.  Okay, most people probably don’t care what shape their food is, but in my case, I prefer that my “pies” can be measured using R^2.

I think that is pretty compelling evidence that pizza is the ultimate nerd food.  If you disagree, be sure to let me know.  If you can think of other reasons why pizza rules, let me know that too.

I was inspired to think about pizza this morning after reading an interesting article on why Dominos admitted their pizza sucks, and decided to reinvent their wheel.

Perhaps their market research also shows that nerds love pizza, and that is why they added the online pizza tracker?
