Greco Pizza Restaurant
From Wikislippy
Greco Pizza Restaurant is the finest cardboard pizza restaurant in Eastern Canada and has over 170 restaurants in the area. Those menu is highlighted by pizza delivery. The first restaurant opened in 1977 in Moncton, New Brunswick as Greco Donair...and Pizza. In 1981 the franchise rights were sold to Grinner's Food Systems Limited. Today Greco Pizza is the number one pizza delivery chain in Atlantic Canada. The "restaurant" is currently expanding into Ontario and Quebec.
Menu
The menu has such highlights as:
- Cardboard pizza (the call it just pizza)
- Donairs
- Garlic fingers
- Donair burger (a donair between two hamburger buns)
- Greco Oven Subs (how do you fit a submarine into an oven?)
- French fries
- Salads
- GrecoWings (chicken wings)
310-3030
Since 1995, Greco has marketed itself using the telephone number 310-30-30. From 1995 to the early 2000s, this number was pronounced in an official jingle as "three one oh, three oh, three oh". In the early 2000s, this was changed to say "three ten, thirty thirty". However, this feature probably doesn't work in China. They refer to this number as "The Pizza Number."
Brainwashing
One thing that Greco does well is brainwashing. They do this by opening shop in a central location where there is little to no existing pizza places. Because 85% of what they sell is greasy cardboard, they can sell their "food" at very low prices. Greco then becomes the central pizza place.
In the event another pizza place moves in to the same town, they will be out of luck. The residents are already too brainwahsed. The new pizza place just moves in so they have to pay a few bills to open. No worry. The sell the food at a slightly higher price. In the unlikely event that the brainwahsed people actually go to the new place they will be shocked at the prices because they are selling food and not cardboard. Few people visit and the pizza place is not making a profit and is farther behind in bills. Their only option is is close and sell the building.
