[0207] Pizza I
└ posted on Monday, 11 October 2010, by Novil
The school cafeteria of the gymnasium Johannes-Scharrer-Gymnasium in Nuremberg I went to from 5th to 10th grade made the best pizza ever and you had to be fast to get a piece. Their pretzels were just as good and usually abundant. This is the best thing you can say about the school, though.
- Sandra: I totally aced that test! And going bowling with Cloud yesterday was soooo much fun! Life is great!
- Boy: Two slices of pizza, please.
- Sandra: Life is suffering, Liz. Suffering!
@ Landbark:
I second the idea for the title. but for me it would be “beware of the blank”. (some allusion to bleach)
And I declare food being able to change my day from happiness to misery – as I have to cook myself X-D
Pizza is SERIOUS business. The lack of it, double so.
…and to see the last slice go RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU, well that’s just mean.
…No one per customer rule?
D:< That jerk!
I've had that happen to me before. It's not fun. ;A;
This basically boils down to one of two conclusions for me:
A) That is some AMAZING pizza.
B) Cloud (let alone the test) doesn’t count for as much as he thinks he does… XD
I love this webcomic – keep up the good work, Powree and Novil! 😀
Considering that Cloud get trumped by free bacon on Sandra’s digg, that ought to show. Food > Cloud.
Still, that has to be some awesome pizza there. I remember all we got in school was basically cardboard pizza, unless a club was doing a fund-raiser and brought a chain’s pizza.
It is funny that as we age, the things we shed tears over as youngsters seem trivial.
Life is pain Sandra. Anyone who tells you different is trying to sell you something.
@ Icalasari:
Agreed every school I went to only allowed one serving per student unless there were leftovers.
Pizza, it can make or break a day.
How is this guy even able to take the remaining pizza when a cute girl, no matter if she’s taken or not, stands right behind him?
french accent: “*harrumph* Gentleman?“
@ Landbark:
dude she is 12/13 years old. Of course she gonna react like that.
Yup, I remember those “pizza slices” they served in school cafeteria. Rectangular, allegedly made with light tomato sauce, cheese and finely ground sausage. The interplay of the ingredients always made it have a slightly green tinge, however. I didn’t really start to appreciate them until high school, despite my middle school actually adding real pepperoni slices to theirs to make them more authentic.
Our pizza was okay, a bit spicy, BUT THE ROLLS WERE HEAVENLY!
@ Makoto:
That would explain why she is always eating when she is with Cloud.
Well, I agree: having an article that you wanted SO MUCH taken from you( here in this strip: the pizza slice) is painful, especially when it’s the last one. The example in this strip is just an example in a domain, but there are plenty others (like having the last exemplary of a comic book or of a video game taken in front of you and hearing the owner of the market tell you: “Sorry, sir, but you”l have to wait for a couple of week to see that article again, we need to restock.”. Horrible, simply horrible! and it hurts even more if there will be no more sale of that article. Believe me, I had the case for several video games, so I can relate
The horror! THE HORROOOOOORRR! D:
Had alot of these situations myself back in the days, I can feel your pain girl. >.<"
So is that kid a new side character or he just got a face that's all? 😀

Exactly.
The high school I attended could make any food toxic. Imagine pizza that when thrown can LITERALLY chip a brick wall (and did). We were not allowed to brown bag or go out for lunch. Otherwise the cafeteria would not have had a single customer. We had full blown boycotts of the cafeteria supported by parents. Things would improve for about a week. And I will not go into detail about the lunch I got once that was still moving.
Yeah, I remember that’s how were were as kids that age.
What a mean cafeteria lady! To give one kid two slices when there’s only one more kid in the queue.
I foresee Larisa swearing vengeance.

My high school almost the same, we live in a dormitory and the dining room served food three times a day everyday, but due to laziness the dorm owner decided to make a 1 week food variation that never changed during my three years there. They manage to make a kind of soup taste flat and blah, after I graduate it took years for me to finally able to eat that kind of soup again.
DAMN YOU SCOTT REED!!!! HOW DARE YOU TAKE THE LAST BURGER!!! A POX ON YOU!!!………….similar thing has happend to me
I loved the pizza my schools made and served. This kind of thing didnt happen though because they only allowed one slice per student (in other words, no second helpings). All the more reason to feel sorry for Sandra.
Can I just say that that is the most innocent look I’ve seen on Larisa’s face to date? I kinda love catching her in a genuine moment unawares.

What's worse is having the article promised go out of production the same week that you ordered it and the store tells you that they won't even bother trying to order it for you. *THAT'S* frustration… (I learned *my* lesson! From then on I never waited to get something I want. I get it *immediately* the moment that I can.)
I went to a school like that. They had the best lunches EVER, but the school itself sucked. The kids were out of control, the teachers were mean (probably because they had to deal with the kids), and I was just miserable there…. but the bierocks… oh, lordy, the bierocks… I could have eaten them every day.

Yup, that’s what I also learned to do: take the thing you want as soon as possible.
I still haven’t gotten over the last time someone took the last piece of pizza…
…fortunately, neither have they
Poor Sandra :< I know what it feels losing what you want so much because the person ahead of you takes it.
it happend again today the very same person only in a different place….i am sad
I totally agree with Sandra.
Life is fleeting without cheesy goodness.
when I was younger, the problem wasn’t bad food or food going too fast. It was the fact of offspring of teachers urinating on my plate and nothing done about it. Rules were no outside food, no lunchboxes, no eating outside the cafeteria… EVER
First the cookies, now the pizza?!? What else is LIE!
That happened to me before
Are you from Nuremberg?
My father was born there in 37 and moved to Toronto in 56.
I have been there about 40 times and stayed a lot at my grandmother’s house on Gabelsbergerstraße.
I know the J-S Gymnasium – i had a few cousins go to school there…
Keep up the good work – one of my fav webcomix!
I understand…
Back in middle school I was friends with the lunch ladies daughter. The lunch lady took this as a good reason to hate my guts.
Every day when I went up for lunch, she would give me the smallest piece on the pizza. Sometimes these pizzas were so small I questioned if pre-cut the piece small just for me, then found me in the lunch-line so she could figure out when to bring out that slice off pizza.
Anyway, this one time I was only behind one person and there were two huge pieces left on the pizza. She gave the kid in front of me the second piece citing that it was “burnt, so you can have it free,” just so she could pull out another pizza entirely… Evil lunch lady.
Good pizza though.

Ah, but what if they’re selling painkillers? What then?
I thought we Americans had the best junk food, but man, school cafeteria pizza was unfailingly disappointing… Procecessed Cheez Product (may contain traces of dairy) on soggy cardboard… I wish I’da grown up in Germany!
