Uniformed men silently performed routine, menial tasks. Floors were swept, forgotten, partially swept once more, dreamily re- called, and abandoned, their blank, shiny surfaces left somewhat dust-free. Hurried footsteps sounded throughout the corridors. Doorknobs were turned in vain. A long, winding staircase issued echoing warnings as intruders, clad in heavy snow boots on this glacial December evening, approached their destination. Upon entering the room at the top of the stairs, two men placed identical, white square boxes on a counter and stared at each other suspiciously. The battle had begun. It wasa dirty battle involving mudslinging, plenty of oozing red stuff and about two pounds of sausage and pepperoni. A jury of five students chewed solemnly, slowly, with pizza slices and pencils at hand. iiToo much grease! Too paranormal! a man cried. liTerrible, terrible, just terrible? he continued to whine. uDo I have to eat this? he asked the Sycamore Yearbook editors. Itis a tough job, but someone has to do it? one gleefully replied as he observed the contest. ilBesides, cheer up! Another pizza just arrived! As the huge pile of napkins on the counter diminished, the jury diligently performed their assigned duty: to evaluate the services of products of Terre Hautels most popular pizza places. Nine categories of criteria were used to evaluate Pizza City, Dominois, Hunter Johns and Pizza Shack. The categories included delivery, appearance, condition, saugage, pepperoni, crust, grease and temperature. Each was rated on a scale of one to five. The results were then tabulated to obtain each businessis overall rating. Pizza Shack, who markets the least expensive pizza out of all four establishments, received a score of 1.73. it seemed as if the judges were somewhat disgusted and even frightened by the piz- zals appearance and particularly, its odor. uSmells funny, looks terrible. lt's burnt and nothing tastes like it should, a judge noted. The smell was enough to tell me . . . the taste was going to be horrifying, another commented. Only one man, looking on the bright side, noticed something positive about the product. itGood pricefl he stated. Hunter John's was given a rating of 2.99. Many of the judges stated that the pizza was cold. iiPizza was decent but it would have been better if it was hot and juicy instead of cold and greasy? one said. Others commented that the sausage was too spicy. Pizza City, the first runner-up, earned a score of 3.7. Judges commented primarily on the pizzals crust and temperature. HThe 30 Student Life crust had the taste of rubber, one stated, tibut it was pretty good. Perhaps he likes rubber! iilt would taste a lot better if warm, , another noted. itSlightly cold? yet another judge confirms. Dominois. who secured the fastest delivery time of 17 minutes, merited the highest score of 4.1. tiExcellent, one judge raved. Pretty dang good pizza, another cried enthusiastically. Throughout this study, a direct correlation between price and quality was established. The least expensive pizza also proved to have the poorest quality, at least according to one judge. ilThis pizza tastes like ! Domino 5 markets the highest priced pizza Most of the judges felt that the establishment 5 service and product merited the high price. Expensive. But good? Taste pretty good . . . a little ex- pensive? iiWorth the extra bucks! The next time you decide to order a late night pizza, we suggest that you remember an old adage: you get exactly what you pay for.
