They swarm with regularity. They arrive at the Co-op every Friday evening, carrying boxes, plates, or large Tupperware tubs. They leave, containers filled, with a smile of anticipation and excitement, contemplating the satisfying meal ahead.

They are the pizza locusts.

They have learned that the best place to eat in Moscow on Friday is the Co-op's Deli. The first pizzas roll out about 5:30pm, and by 6pm, all the choices are available.

The Deli bakes about 15 large pizzas on Friday, including always one kid pizza with nothing but cheese and sauce, a vegan pizza, and a half-dozen other wild combo pizzas.

The combo pizzas have a great sauce and mounds of olives, artichoke hearts, various vegetables and other unlikely ingredients.

The pizzas are sold by the slice (one slice is $2.50). Each slice is a decent meal, since it is thick and full of stuff and one-eighth of a large pizza pie.

Bill London edits this newsletter and believes that the best use for the standard pizza delivery box is as a recycled container for Co-op Friday Pizza.
