The ‘Pizza Wars’ on The History Channel

2/14/2021

0 Comments

 
The “Pizza Wars” episode of “The Food That Built America” airs again tonight on The History Channel at 9:00 CST, and it streams now on its website.  The episode focuses on the rivalry between Pizza Hut and Dominos, which are now the two biggest pizza chains in the country, and have been the introduction – and even benchmark – of pizza for a great many folks.  I am on the episode a couple of times.  It was fun to muse about pizza in front of a camera, at times even more fun than eating it.
