PIZZA WAR! The Pizza Industry is in a World of Hurt...

I'm not sure if it's Little Ceasar's $5 Pizza's, Kraft's frozen pizzas, Domino's $5 deals, Pizza Huts $5.99 Lunch Buffett, a new chain which makes fresh pizzas for you to bake at home, or Wal-Mart's fresh-take-home pizzas.

Everywhere you look around...there's a Pizza War going on!

Last week, I was standing in an elevator waiting to go up the 7th floor where I work, and a Papa John's Pizza marketing guy was in the elevator with me. His job was to pass out advertising on all floors about a specials 50% OFF deal.

I asked him about the economy, and he said he couldn't believe how many floors in business buildings were vacant. That raised a red flag to me because while we've had above-average unemployment, and we've also had a below-average adjustment to real estate.

Anyways, these are all interesting things to keep in mind.

Damn, I guess I was late to

Damn, I guess I was late to the Pizza Party and didn't notice what's been going on since April 17th...LOL

After my initial post, I decided to dig deeper into what was going on, and KABOOM!

This makes a lot of sense now why Papa John's marketing people were going after everybody in a fierce way last week:
