Pizza That Won't Choke In The Playoffs




Yahoo - The colossal new Dallas Cowboys Stadium is living proof that everything is bigger in Texas. The menu in the luxury suites proves that things there are more expensive too.

Those enjoying a Cowboys game from a luxury suite at the new stadium will have to shell out $90 for pizza and $66 for a 12-pack of domestic beer, reports Steven Sipple of the Lincoln Journal World. Ninety bucks for pizza? That's almost as much of a rip-off as Roy Williams.

It costs $800,000 per year to lease one of those luxury suites, a hefty sum that doesn't include game tickets. On the bright side, the stadium's official Web site says that "having your company's name on a suite makes an important statement about your success" and can help make an impression on clients. (Namely that they're paying you way too much money.)

As for the $90 pizza, that's the cost for a plain pizza. No word on how much each topping costs but, suffice it to say, if you're a fan of pepperoni you may want to consider refinancing your mortgage before you head down to watch the Cowboys.


Ummm......WHAT?! This is just ridiculous, even for me, who - as a Yankees fan - has had to deal with crazy expensive prices this year and know what its like to shell out dinero for a cold beer and sausage and peppers. But a 90 figgin' dollar plain pizza? (and no it is not served by a smokin hot waitress as seen above) Jerry Jones, your kidding right? I could see if your flying in the pizza man from Guastavino's in Brooklyn, but Texas pizza? Just gross. Not only that but $66 for a 12 pack? First, how the hell did they determine these prices? Seriously, can someone tell me? Does Jerry Jones go by how expensive his next face lift or botox injection will be? Has his skin been pulled so tight that it is not cutting off the circulation to his brain? Look, bottom line is, pizza is not even the "food of Texas." I mean I could see if it was for a Pulled Pork sandwich...no..weait..I can't even see that. Someone needs to step in and smack Jerry Jones across the face (even though his face would then slowly form back into shape like Stretch Armstrong or something). The only way I see this working is if there is a contest for dumbest fan to buy a 90 dollar pizza where the winner gets to go to Cabo with Tony Romo.

Another reason why I hate the Dallas Cowboys.
