this week in the news

As I contemplate ways to make my little blog relevant to all of you, I think about the news. People like the news, or rather don't like the news but are addicted to it. So I thought I would share pizza news with you every week, to the best of my ability. My plan will be to give you a quick recap of the articles I read, including their original headlines, and then a link to the original stories. Here goes nothing.

"We tried New York City's newest slice- a deep-fried pizza"

My summary of this story will be longer than the story; it comes from the business insider. Basically a restaurant called Service Station, opened recently on the Upper East Side of New York City. It serves the Montanara, a Neapolitan pizza that's made with fried dough.

My first thought when I heard this story was that they assembled the pizza and then fried it, which sounded messy unless you sealed it off. And although that would be delicious, it would essentially become something else. That shall not be named. Don't fear, they fry the crust, then assemble the toppings, then bake the whole thing. Which sounds delightful and fattening. The way a pizza should be.

$700 Tip Leads to Rehab Support for Humble Pizza Delivery Man.

This story is interesting because it essentially took place almost a month ago. But the article I read doesn't really clearly state why it is coming back up in the news. Despite that, the website The Good News Network published this on the 4th.

22-year-old Jeff Louis of Mentor Ohio delivered a pizza to The life Point Church congregation there.

What he didn't expect is a $700 dollar tip that was given as a lesson in generosity.

I don't know what the pastor was hoping to teach them, but I think the lesson basically taught itself. Because Jeff was struggling from addiction and it would appear this was the sign he was waiting for to change his life. In the story from this week it would appear that the church is offering to cover up to 100% of his rehab costs. So it was a pretty good news story in a pretty heavy week.
