During the days and weeks leading up to a Super Bowl, people have strange ways of showing allegiances to their teams. Restaurant and bar owners are no different. We already know about one New York bar owner who has decided to nix the sale of Sam Adams beer on Super Bowl Sunday, since the Sam Adams brewing company is based in Boston. Now, we have Long Island pizzerias serving up blue pizza.
“People eat blue candy, drink blue soda,” Phil Donofrio, of Joe’s Pizza and Pasta on Union Avenue, said according to Newsday. “What’s the difference with blue pizza?”
For starters, this would be a brilliant way for a restaurant to get away with using their moldy bread and cheese. Ever seen blueish-green mold on a loaf of bread or a block of cheese? I’m not saying these places would ever try something like that and Donofrio said they give people a heads up before they get a blue pie, but I wouldn’t want to take the risk. I’m confident enough in my fanhood to stick with the standard colors on a pizza the week before the Super Bowl.
