Is it not obvious? 1. Search for nearest pizza place (probably using Foursquare) 2. Pizza-looking-compass-needle points to said pizza place 3. Distance updates as you're pulled towards pizza Simples.
No, its not obvious. I personally thought it was that, hoped it was that, but nothing on that site told me what you just did. I had to half work it out, half guess.
Pitch: beer-compass.com Ready for VC funding now.

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...
It has come to my attention that St Louis-style pizza can be had at Tony's Napoletana in North Beach: http://www.tonyspizzanapoletana.com/menu.php I have tried it. It was an experience. I can't evaluate it w.r.t. "true" St Louis-style pizza since I am not from there.
But however they are doing it, I'm delighted to see it showing up in California. Thanks for sharing.
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.
"Grimaldi's Pizzeria > 11ft" That 11ft journey will take you 30 minutes in line, but its worth it.
"Grimaldi's Pizzeria > 33 min (3 min walking + 30 min in line)"
"Rubio's Pizza & Pasta > 17 min (5 min walking + 11 min in line)"
Edit: Google Traffic for restaurant lines? Track line speed by phone GPS location in the waiting area and dining room?
OK, I haven't had time to download the app, but was curious about the description > PIZZA COMPASS IS THE EXCITING NEW LIFE-AFFIRMING IPHONE APP THAT HELPS PIZZA GET TO YOUR MOUTH. CREATED BY A HIGHLY SPECIALIZED TRAINED TEAM OF PIZZA EXPERTS. EXPERTS WHO ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT LIFE, LOVE, AND FRIENDSHIP. The screenshots featured famous pizzerias...so is the data "curated" by the pizza-compass staff? Or does it rely on…

This is really overthinking it, IMO. This app isn't a shot at Yelp or an attempt to disrupt the pizza space... It's a joke. You pay a dollar, you get a pizza compass. I think it's hilarious. The quotes on their page about "life-affirming" and "some people might say this is the most important app... ever" tell me that whoever made this app just wanted to have a bit of a laugh.
Haha, it's so funny! Oh, and look at all this money in iTunes Connect... Yes, totally just a joke!
