Luckily the type of pizza will be determined by where you live and not the app. So whether you want a Detroit, Chicago, New York, or Italian-styled pizza, you'll be okay. Writing this made me realize it's time to dig deeper into pizza history.

Be sure to sample St. Louis-style pizza. Being from St. Louis, I'm quite used to it, but my friends from elsewhere claim it's repulsive.

The most unique factor is the Provel cheese, which is found almost exclusively in the greater St. Louis area: http://www.andrewmarkveety.com/2010/08/a-brief-history-of-pr...

"Grimaldi's Pizzeria > 11ft" That 11ft journey will take you 30 minutes in line, but its worth it.

I have never felt so compelled to install an app. Incredible.

I really like the way the video was done, i.e. the video background keyed exactly to the page background, but IMO the video itself smacks of trying too hard. I think they tried to ape the Dollar Shave Club vibe and I don't think it went over.
