Glory to Marik
I want my pizza to be more like Thor and less like Hawkeye.

That is both incredibly insulting and infuriating all at the same time.

The fair sentiment in that comparison aside, I have very mixed feelings about that short story. We read it for our English class in high school and at that time it felt like a political allegory on equality that completely misunderstood the concept. But given the author's own political views, that doesn't seem right either. Its message just doesn't sit well with me, but maybe I'm missing a key element about it.

"I don't want you to be able to play the way you want to because I liked a story 40 years ago" isn't a compelling argument.

The next week at Thin Crust Joe's:
"Man, I talked to Joe, and he wasn't interested at all in putting Thick Crust, Gourmet Pasta, or Tostada's on the regular menu! He said having too big of a menu made a restaurant hard to run and hurt the quality. But that they could try having daily specials and rotating them through."
"That sucks! Let's go try out that new place Uncle K's Mexican and Italian Blowout. I hear they have a huge menu!"
"Let's blow this joint."
At Uncle K's Mexican and Italian Blowout.
<20 minutes looking over 15 page menu>
"Eww. My pizza crust got burned."
"Eww. My pasta sauce tastes like it has salsa in it."
"Eww. My salsa tastes like it has pizza sauce in it."
"How can we all be happy? Should we rotate between different restaurants?"
Once more, at Thin Crust Joe's:
"I wonder if they'd consider pineapple and tuna...."

Scenes from Tasha's Pizzeria of Everything
Act I, Scene II
Tasha's: Hello there, and welcome! What would you like today?
Customer: Is this a pizzeria?
Tasha's: Yes indeed! If it's pizza you want, you've come to the right place!
Customer: So, do you make thin crust pizza?
Tasha's: Yes we do! Also thick crust, sourdough, and gluten-free as well!
Customer: Good, good. How about deep dish, can you do that?
Tasha's: Of course. We can also do hand-tossed, wood-fired, and flatbread.
Customer: Wonderful, wonderful. Let's talk style...how about Chicago-style?
Tasha's: Chicago style is our specialty! We do Brooklyn style, Detroit style, and Sicilian too.
Customer: That's excellent, I'm really glad to hear it. It's so hard to find good pizza!
Tasha's: That's why we're here! So! What would you like today?
Customer: I would like three eggs, over easy, with two strips of bacon and hash browns, with black coffee.
Tasha's: That's...a Grand Slam Breakfast. From Denny's.
Customer: Yes. (leans in, whispers meaningfully) Is that a problem, Pizzeria of quote-unquote Everything?
Tasha's: This is a pizzeria. We make and serve pizza, not breakfast platters.
Customer: Ha! So do you finally admit that you're bad at your job and should be replaced?
Tasha's: You walked past a Denny's to come here and order your Grand Slam Breakfast?
Customer: And you can't do it! Ha! In your face, Tasha!
Tasha's: I really don't know what I expected, but this isn't it.
