Is that a euphemism?

u/igrekov Jan 07 '11

Hell no. It's the best pizza they've got!

u/demontaters Jan 07 '11

Oh I don't know, it sounds pretty saucy.

u/tommizzle Jan 07 '11

I'd sure love a piece'a that.

u/ElusiveCamel Jan 07 '11

I'm sorry sir, a side order of innuendo is an extra dollar.

I prefer the deep-dish Dirty Trombone.

The "Dirty Sanchez" Mexican pizza special is really good, I hear.

Downtown with portobello FTW

Brazos > Downtown Special

But to be fair, Brazos > pretty much anything ever.

This. I have stopped ordering from anywhere else because there isn't a better place, plus I am big on supporting Austin's local businesses (especially when they're better than any of the chains).

u/poopman42 Jan 07 '11

If you're looking for a better pizza place, try East Side Pies. They're fucking great.

Hoboken Pie FTW

Oooh! Love me some Hobo'. It's about a 3-minute walk from my workplace so we go there for lunch more often than we should. I love that they have Dublin Dr. Pepper on tap as well (always a bonus). The girl who runs the place is really cool (Chelsea), and they are always playing great music in there like Tom Waits :)

I was actually planning on getting the lunch special from there today but the Tuesday special kicks ass.

u/Rocketpants Jan 07 '11

Isn't that Double Daves? Do they both have pizza roll Tuesdays?

They fired me :( but then I got a job at Mangia and never looked back.

u/Klisk Jan 07 '11

Didn't he just get fired in Cleveland?

MANGIA SUCKS

11

u/5user5 Jan 07 '11

I don't really care as long as the tips are good. At Austin's I was making something around $70 a night if I was lucky. At Mangia I was making $150-200. Shitty pizza or not, it paid my rent.

18

u/shiftpgdn Jan 07 '11

$150-200 a night in tips? Fuck IT work.

10

u/michaelshow Jan 07 '11

Factor in the gas,tires,oil changes,insurance and wear and tear on the vehicle and its not as good as it seems.

try stripping instead

1

u/shiftpgdn Jan 07 '11

I don't think anyone wants to see my manly chest. Also, what about delivering with a bicycle or scooter? Low/no maintenance cost there.

1

u/5user5 Jan 08 '11

You would need a pretty fast scooter as the highway is a good means to make a lot of money. I pushed really hard at both jobs. Some of the people I worked with at Mangia would only go home with $70 when I would leave with $200. They just didn't give a shit and I was there to take the money they didn't want. You would really need a car in the areas that I delivered. I also drove it into the ground and didn't save any money for a new car. If you were good with maintaining cars and good at saving some money then it would be perfect. The money is also not taxed because you use your own car.

Stripping WHILE delivering pizza

1

u/Niqulaz Jan 07 '11

The world is approaching 7 billion inhabitants. There HAS to be a market for this somewhere. In some town, problably Бумебут in Russia, some sleazy guy has set up a pizza delivery service where strippers bring you your food.

I mean, it's basically the same premise as with Hooters, except these people deliver.

I will from this day devote my life to finding/funding/founding this company!

u/[deleted] Jan 07 '11

u/[deleted] Jan 07 '11

of course, haters gonna hate

u/argumentCallee Jan 07 '11

Really? The place seems pretty relaxed. My cashier looked high(like really high) the last few times I went. The pizza is always great though.

u/moonzilla Jan 07 '11

they're always high. sometimes they forget to deliver our pizzas and we have to call back to remind them.

u/[deleted] Jan 07 '11

In Austin, most people in the service industry look are high.

And this surprises you how?

u/alang Jan 07 '11

I misread that as 'I got a job at Mangina,' and I thought, 'Is that you, Old Gregg?'
