When the advertising flyer for a pizza delivery place says it closes at 1:00 AM on weeknights, what time does that mean the place closes on a weeknight?

(No, I shouldn't be spending money on pizza, but there's not much in the house, I had a craving not satisfiable by what's here, and I was way too tired to buy groceries on the way home from rehearsal (plus I was afraid to leave the instruments in the van). And I figured half of tonight's pizza would be tomorrow's breakfast. Well, three different places weren't answering their phones between 11:00 and 11:45 PM, and the fourth says I'm too far away. (So why was their flyer stuck in my mail slot a while ago?) *shrug* I guess I'm getting fiscal responsibility imposed on me tonight. Tomorrow I'll buy some groceries. For now, I think an omelette/fritata thingie will fill me up.)

Forced frugality! Gotta love it.

Weird about the non-answering ones, though. It's finals season, and you'd figure they'd be having a boom in business.

Which may be why they weren't answering the phone... too busy.

My finals aren't until mid-January wish it were final season, right now it's write paper season, worry about finals all through the two week winter break, take finals, have one week off, start spring classes...

Possibilities on the 'too far':

It is still advertising, and you might be driving past them one day.

The people handing them out are irresponsible, or were not told how far not to go.

You can order from Papa John's online.

All the latenight lifestyle oriented businesses around here, when they say weeknights they really mean "school nights". :-)

Sucks about no pizza around. Sometimes they'll stretch their radius if it's a slow night. How bout chinese?
