National Pizza Day

Posted by By Eric G. Stark on 9th Feb 2018

Pizza! Pizza!

Okay, I admit it. The first thing that entered my mind when I heard it was  National PIzza Day, or in the hash tag trending world of Twitter and Instagram #nationalpizzaday was the old Little Caesars Pizza advertisements with the little guy saying, "PIzza! Pizza!"

Childish, yes. Effective, absolutely. 

My next thought was, "Why didn't I hear about National Pizza Day on ads for  Pizza Hut or Dominos, surely these national chains would promote a day dedicated to their No.1 selling product. Heck, the word is in Pizza Hut's name. 

Some Pizza facts:

  • Pepperoni is the most popular pizza at 36% of all pies ordered.
  • More than 3 billion pizzas are sold in the USA each year. Add another 1 billion on frozen pizzas.
  • 17% of all US Restaurants are pizzerias.

My third thought: What appliance parts does  McCombs Supply have that we could promote for National Pizza Day? 

The RobertShaw pizza oven thermostat  (part no. 5300-653) came to mind. It sells for $90.85.

The Robert Shaw S Series is a snap acting, single pole single throw (SPST) type thermostat. The K models have a 25 Amp rating and the S models have a 30 Amp rating. 

                                       Robert Shaw Timer 5300-653

Both the "S" and "K" each uses silver contacts and has heavy duty terminals for durability and sustained accuracy.

The snap action mechanism is precise and reliable. 

This direct acting series of thermostats is suitable for the commercial cooking industry.

McCombs is a leading distributor of  RobertShaw controls and thermostats, and Robert Shaw is the leading manufacturer of pizza controls.
