Surely you have better pizza available than Little Sneezers. Even chain
places like Dominos (who have upped their game considerably) and Papa
John's. Or a local joint that delivers.

We've even got gas station pizza (no puns intended) that's better than 
average. In fact it's surprisingly good. The nearest to you Casey's gas
convenience store location is in Malfunction Junction (Knoxville).
