Of course, they could have got double pepperoni and double
cheese. But some like balance in their pizza.

Also fair enough, but I'm wondering if the fame provides
the participating retailers enough benefit: there was the
recent case of Burger King advertising these $1 specials,
with some of the urban locations, whose fixed costs are
greater than those of the ones in Podunk, Iowa, refusing to
honor the promotion, which destroyed their already slim
margins, whereupon the national office told them they had
to, which didn't sit well with the retailers and in fact was
said to be instrumental in the closing of some locations.

I suppose. When I moved to Salem, Annie whom you know and
who at the time lived near the place, waxed eloquent about
a pizzeria called Mandee's, where for a couple bucks more
than a regular pizza you could get an everything one; this
turned out to be so loaded with toppings that the crust was
gooey with juice - it had to have weighed 10 lbs and was
actually inedible as it was. I stripped out most of the
toppings (saved them to make fried rice for 4 another time)
and rebaked the now-normal-size pie; got 4 servings out of
that as well. It was a great deal, quantitywise, but the
thing really wasn't that appealing, and it needed some
work to get any kind of edible product. Salem is the home
of some of the worst pizza disasters I have encountered:
the absolute worst was at a place called Little Caesar's,
about which I can say nothing except Just Say No.

Tuna Pizza
cat: snack, starter, fish
Serves: 4

4 (7") flour tortillas
2 ts extra virgin olive oil
1/2 c barbecue eel sauce (available in Asian markets)
1/2 c red onion, sliced thin
2 jalapenos, sliced thin
1/2 c cherry tomatoes, halved
1/3 c pitted Kalamata olives
10 ounces #1-grade tuna, sliced paper-thin
1/4 c cilantro

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Brush each tortilla on both
sides with extra virgin olive oil. Brush eel sauce over the
top of each tortilla and layer with onions, tomatoes,
jalapenos and olives. Place the tortillas in the oven and
cook for 5-7 min, until crisp. Remove from oven and top each
tortilla with tuna slices and cilantro. Serve on warm plates.
