Galactic Pizza

by Matt Kempf

The future of pizza delivery has just landed in Minneapolis’s Lyn-Lake area. The faux fifties decor is simply a cover up. They've come from the future. The purpose of traveling back in time is simple: we’ve destroyed the future (thanks George for supporting and urging our environmental lethargy) and they want to fix it.

Galactic Pizza is trying to give back to the community while nourishing our craving for a well-crafted pizza. They try to incorporate organic, local ingredients whenever possible. Mozzarella cheese from cows not treated with rBGH growth hormones. Just ask about the CSA pizza, which is always changing. For this za they’ve contracted with the Natural Harvest CSA to buy their crops so the pizza changes with the seasons.

The namesake pizza, The Galactic, consists of homemade hemp pesto (good for you and the earth), mozzarella cheese, mushrooms, garlic, sundried tomatoes, and oregano. So choose from there many pizza offerings or customize your own. Most of the pizzas can be made vegetarian or vegan. They also offer a selection of pasta dishes and salads if you’ve already had too much pizza this week.

Perhaps one of the quirkiest and still socially beneficial attributes of the restaurant is the delivery service. All the drivers are dressed in superhero costumes and come to your door in electric powered vehicles. These vehicles are also charged with renewable wind energy that powers the whole restaurant. Top it off with menus printed on hemp paper and recycled or biodegradable packaging and I think we are on the road to a cleaner future. It is just a matter of time until we diminish all of our non-renewable resources. You can help put a stop to this by ordering a pie today. You don’t even have to be a dirty hippy.
