This past Friday I had a math midterm, after which our math TA provided us with pizza. Now, since I got here in August, I have not had a slice of pizza. Not because I don’t like pizza as a whole, but I like real pizza. Yes, I said it. Real pizza. Allow me to

I’m not a huge inside column guy. As an employee of The Observer, I’m required to write a certain number of them per semester, but they never come easy to me. I love our Viewpoint section. I just find it difficult to contribute in light of some of the really great columns we get each

Danny McMaster looks forward to lunch on Thursdays. He knows he will file up to the salad bar and order a serving of Notre Dame’s celebrity meal: the Southwest Salad. (Editor’s Note: McMaster is a Viewpoint columnist for The Observer.) “Every student at Notre Dame could be in the line and I’d still get

I do not claim to be a pizza expert. In fact, my East Coast colleagues would assert that my Nebraska heritage makes me the very opposite of such. But, I have the belief that when a person is a restaurant’s first customer, they acquire a certain right to judge that same restaurant. Such a customer

There are decades where nothing happens. And then there are weeks where decades happen. I firmly believe that years from now, as you look back fondly on your college days, you will look back at the week Pizza Pi opened and realize that it was the greatest week of your life. Like every self-respecting student

When Monica Mesecar heard there was a new pizza restaurant opening on campus, she was a little skeptical. But after the junior tried a ‘White’ pizza during the grand opening of Pizza Pi on Friday, she was sold. “I originally wasn’t sure because we already have so many options for pizza on campus but they
