Fixed it for you.
I think you meant to say, in Metairie, it's hard to beat Tower of Pizza.

Wait is that the only size pizza they have? I understand having that big of a pizza as a gimmick, but you've got to have a reasonable size slice on the menu. NY slices are about the maximum size slice I can do. Easy enough to pick up and fold. I bet the toppings will slide off the top if you try to pick that slice up.

My bad. That's a lot more manageable and the prices are in line with other local pizza places. Who knows it might be good.

$2.99 fountain drinks should be illegal

Imagine the money and effort it takes to get a small business off of the ground

Then thinking shirts with
“Size matters” and $3 fountain drinks are a good idea

$7 for a slice of pizza



That's obnoxious


I've been seeing this sign when I drop my daughter off at daycare, and I thought the idea of an obnoxiously large pizza could work. If you have a family of 4-6 then one of these could feed the bunch. That's such a limited market though that I am unsure the sustainability of this.

These prices tell me it will be difficult. If you're target market is families, then you don't want to put a high price point. They are trying to feed the bunch as much as they can for a smaller cost. I would just as well go buy two different large pizzas for the same as one of these gargantuan ones, and we will then have two options to eat rather than just one.


Yeah, as I type this I am seeing more likely that this will be a failed endeavor. People will go for the curiosity value, but that only lasts so long.

The key to repeat pizza business is making a good tasting pizza. Splash ideas are temporary only.

If it's that slice in the OP and it will be a full meal, $7 isn't crazy.

Twain’s > Tower

I find Twain’s tastes best if you order it well done. Otherwise the cheese isn’t cooked enough.
