I like writing about the worst day of a character's life; it lets us see the mettle inside. (Pronouns: RB/20 )

Cute look at Pegasus deliveries
Why the change in author's portrait though?

I liked the new one better!
Big thanks!
Yo I'd order from them, sounds like a great idea.
My pizza delivery days were before smartphones. The worst deliveries were to Western's campus; as often as not, they'd give you the name of the dorm and no other information.
Never had to deliver to a red pickup, but when I drove wrecker, my dispatcher sent me to a Jeep Cherokee in the mall parking lot, no other info provided.
10056316
Ouch, that's horribly non-specific!
I wonder if Equestrian expats have set up their own version of NotAlwaysRight to swap stories about those silly human customers.
10056344
Wow, that would be a great site-wide collaboration...
Another great story to add to our collective works.
10056316
Ouch! My wife did pizza delivery but if you didn’t give enough info they never even put it in the oven so she lucked out there.
Makes me miss the days when my parents and I would get Faygo and Dino's Pizza back home.*
* - Dino's was a little-known pizzeria in Dearborn, MI. I know they eventually closed, but I don't know when --- it was at some point after I moved out of state.
10056344
I should totally write that...
Pegasus Pizza Delivery stories would be a fun slice of life series.
This qas actually kinda awesome. I expected it to be good already, but this managed to exceed my expectations. Good job SockPuppet.
10056546
Thanks!!!
The only problem is, your pegasus is supporting the wrong team.
I know how to make the delivery instructions worse. "Delivery to NCSU. It's the red brick building."
10056626
LOL.
Yeah, I had the list of background pegasi open in one browser and a list of school colors open in the other to pick the character and rivalry.
Fantastic work!
10056635
Thank you!!!
Oh no, they had to make themselves OCs!
Settings > Privacy > Location Services. Then you just need to switch on the slider and maybe pick out the right app. Honestly, people, look it up.
Ah, White has them covered. Good on her.
Delightful tale of the horrors of retail, and a brilliant, natural way to present a cross-section of humanity's reactions to ponies. An excellent addition to the quasi-contest thing. And for pegasus-delivered pizza, I might just be willing to turn on Location Services myself.
Maybe.
10056654
Big thanks! All appreciated.
Most likely there are some enterprising ponies who make money with that.
Yup, they really should do that.
Guess who is in desperate need of a few Friendship Lessons?
Are ponies okay with random people do something like that?
I heard they like hugging, but to this extend...
Good story!
I enjoyed reading it.
Also, welcome to the Feature Box!
10056679
Thanks!
A creepy old guy hugging a pony might get bucked into next week, but ponies who can't cope with pre-schoolers' hugs shouldn't emigrate to Earth, because it's gonna happen a lot.
it was decided that Pegasi made better delivery ponies instead of unicorns, the lawsuits after having pizzas teleported directly to your face were too much.
10056719
This was quite a different kind of story than what I've seen on here, and I like it. Keep up the good work.
10056767
Big thanks!

And then there are the stories about that one coworker who, despite clear instructions and numerous attempts to correct them, simply could not close the wind resistant delivery bag correctly, leading to an unending litany of complaints about cold pizzas?
Up next Earth Pony Eatery and Unicorn Cafe
My go-to pizza place in my hometown doesn't do delivery.
There are at least 9 pizza places in my hometown.
Do I sense foul play here? Like that ratio isn't possible so quick.

80 likes in 8 hours? I did twice that rate with some of my other fics.
Super cute, simple and left me with a warm feeling. I really like your writing style, its to the point and brisk but engaging.
great story ! sorry your a wolf pack fan they have therapy for that
10057048
Glad you liked!
Also the sports teams were chosen based on backgrounders pony color schemes, not any personal preference.
Great use of setting and character! You drop the reader into the situation with little need for setup, and then you just run with a well-realized slice of life story. The regional details and interactions with the tailgaters really ring true. Good job.
Fun fact: I visited the Raleigh area the summer just before I went off to university and stayed with some friends of a friend. They owned a hound dog named Bo who they'd trained to howl when he heard the word "Wolfpack." It was kind of hilarious to say "Bo! Wolfpack! Wolfpack!" and have that dog go "a-woo-woo!" in reply.

Many thanks! I appreciate the kind words!
Heh, my local pizza is Pegasus Pizza. They don't ever fly my deliveries in, though.
10057159
WhAt ThE wHaT?
Really?
Well, that's hilarious!

I’m guessing this one:
pegasuspizza.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/pegasus-logo.png
(Which is an awesome logo)
There’s also this place, overseas:

There’s a fifty-percent chance that I stop to read these kinds of short stories, and I’m glad I did because I enjoyed this one.
When I first saw the “Pegasus Pizza,” right away I thought of a rival business called “Little Scissors.”
(Because of the Roman-like influences in Pegasus history and present-day architecture, because a pony could have a name like “Scissors”, and said name refers to hair, which “Caesar” might also. And stuff.)
I'm more a fan of Swedish pizza myself.
Somebody notify Peter Englert immediately!
(If you get the reference, you get a free pizza)
Greetings from Charlotte, NC!!
omg a little tweaking and this story would fit right in the five score story line.
this is a grate story.
A pegasus, a delivery job, and pizza: You really can't ask for much more than that.
Great little fic! And it's good to see some ponies in my sister state; send some pony pizza down south!
That was a cool story! I liked the interactions with all the different people she encountered ( seriously, some guy tried to hit her with a rock?! Rude!) I liked the way she defended herself, too. Ponies have feelings, too!
I liked the way you made the military connection with her and the family and also how she went out of her way to help them.
I wish they had a Pegasus Pizza here!
I was wondering how ponies would feel about the meat and I'm glad you mentioned that, as it's a distinct difference between species. I'm sure her husband hears about it often.
Nicely done! I really enjoyed this!

And humans who aren't willing to give ear scratchies shouldn't emigrate to Equestria, because they're gonna get asked a lot.
This...hits uncomfortably close. I work a blue(ish)-collar job that has canonically been shown ponies working. In-story universe I could very well end up training Best Pone or (one of them) to replace me. Sure it is easy to tut at this particular sports fan's angry, frustrated bigotry, but how would you feel when your livelihood (or even entire industry) is on the chopping block?
Of course it is all academic and a moot point. Ponies or not, I am sure some bright Silicon Valley spod is already working on a robot that will automate it all away in short order...
10057401
Not willing to give ear scratchies?! Aside from medical reasons like allergies and asthma, I am sure those anti-scritchie people (both of them) would be so bitter and shrivelled up inside that they would poison a changeling. They would never make it past Equestrian Border Quarantine.
10057441
Hmm, true.
Maybe another equivalent would be the Lyra clause in the Equestrian immigration form:
10057269
What kind?
