Give a million poor people $100.00 each and it goes straight into the general economy. People are buying shoes, food, pizza.

Give one billionaire $100 million and they'll buy a van Gogh and hide it from the rest of the world.

I like the implication that pizza is a separate category from food.

Pizza is like sex but I don’t cry after pizza.

If you get the frozen ones, you can use them as a tire. 🙃

Pizza transcends all.
