Moon-eye-pizza-amore

So I think it is time to break from my style of complaining about being victimized in Japan and return to my bread and butter, making fun of things in Japan. Today's topic, pizza. It is very rare that I order pizza in Japan because of how prohibitively expensive it is, but today my roommate and I decided that what the hell, we feel like pizza, lets get some. So we went to the dominos website to figure out what to order. After some trial and error navigating the site that is naturally in Japanese, we came to the menu, and to my delight a whole lot of blog fodder. I love the way the Japanese use english when naming almost everything (I have a sweatshirt that reads: "Even if it is confined, it always fixes eyes because it doesn't begin what, either..."). This practice extends to their pizza. Got quite a bit of enjoyment reading about pizzas like the "Garlic Master", and "Giga Meat". I even thought the less outrageous names like "German Potato" and "Spicy Deluxe" were fun. Also, if "Giga Meat" is more meat than you care to take on, "Simple Meat" is available. If you don't like meat at all, then maybe "Dominos Salad Style" is for you. This one is less of a pizza and more of salad served precariously on pizza crust. We ended up going with "American Classic" (pepperoni) and it was delicious like pizza ought to be. I guess funny names are in the nature of pizza, but I can't help but laugh just a little whenever I read "Garlic Master".

I consider myself to be a pizza afficiando, so this entry amuses me. Giga meat, indeed!

I remember that Pamela Bingbing or whatever her name was said that corn was a popular pizza topping there. Thus, I am heartened to hear that you can procure the delicious pepperoni.

Be careful, Mikeson. One should not underestimate the power of the Garlic Master. He is mighty and bold.

And he can repel vampires, so I am told.
