Canyon Pizza

Why the hell is Canyon Pizza still in business?

I was walking to my girlfriends place tonight when I had a sudden urge to have a slice of canyon or two. I walked in, handed over my two dollars, and "got some slabs" as they say. But why? Canyon pizza gives you canyon pizza breath which is a mix of italian spices, cardboard, and beer. Canyon pizza doesn't even taste that good and it is rarely if ever fresh...Why are they still in business?

The only thing they have going for them is the magic number: 1. 1 dollar for a slice of pizza. 1 dollar that will get you a little fuller. I suppose its because college students, being poor as shit, flock towards whatever fills them up. Needless to say they make a shit ton of money on the weekends when the conveyor belt of drunken students makes its way through the doors. But really are they making that much money?


Lets say that they make 75 cents a slice. With that low of a number they have to be selling thousands of thousands of slices in order to turn a decent profit. But they have found their niche in this market. They have targeted poor college kids and because of this have gained a reputation in the area. Now when friends come to visit Penn State the necessary pit stop on a friday night walk is always Canyon Pizza. Its become Penn State culture and because of this they will never die.

But the pizza is still pretty bad. I recommend having the "Canyon Special". That means drink around 8 beers, give yourself a half hour, and then go to get a slice of Penn States ...cough...finest.
