Win a Pizza! It’s Pizza Day at VintageGent
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Tony’s Pizza. All opinions are 100% mine.
Ah, remember the halcyon days of grade school, when you were shoved off the gymnasium floor to make room for lunch? The basketball hoop was cranked up and the magical little window cranked open. Voila! Instant cafeteria. Perhaps you were one of those folks who went to the “big school” and the lunch room was only used for…well…lunch. Either way, either you brown bagged it or ate Salisbury Steak. Of course, sometimes Pizza Day happened. It was always on a Friday. For some odd reason, we were a bit crazier on Pizza Days. Was it something in the pizza, or was it because we felt that somehow we were double crossing the teachers by being able to have it? The Pizza riot usually coincided with jeans day, so perhaps denim was the explanation.
My intimate relationship with premade pizzas continued at home. It was a huge deal to go 45 minutes into the city to eat pizza. There was no pizza place in town. In fact, there was no nothing in town. The only place to dine was at the ice cream parlor, and that didn’t work if you were lactose intolerant or wanted more than one food group, so the default pizza came on a cardboard backing and was wrapped in plastic. Mom had to hurry home from the grocery store before the 1/16″ thick pie thawed.
I have moved about and even once lived in an apartment directly above a pizza place, but there is a certain nostalgia for the pre-made pies. When I had a chance to try Tony’s Pizza, I was a bit skeptical to read that it had no trans fats. Even so, isn’t the whole point of eating a frozen pizza not to even think about what’s in it? It would defeat the purpose entirely. Still, it brought me back to memory lane due to its strange shape. It is not square, nor round. Or, I can consider it “square with a beveled edge.” Schools have always been full of awkwardly shaped food items. Remember the Spork?
At any rate, I am giving away several coupons to try a Crispy Crust Tony’s Pizza for free. These aren’t the huge ones, but are the right size for 2 people or one really hungry person.
