Pizza Man

For decades,  he made his living making pizza. Selling it by the slice at outdoor fairs and exhibitions across the country. He travelled the summer circuit with his portable pizza parlour. It wasn't unusual for him to sell 600 pizzas a day at the big fairs, like the CNE in Toronto.

When the grounds closed each night, he fed
 the carnies their fill of his pies. That way, these midway gypsies who travelled the country alongside him, would look out for him, keep watch over his pizza wagon after hours. They lived in trailers onsite; he and his family stayed outside the gates during their downtime.

I met him at the take-out counter in a local pizzeria. He was buying, not selling. He no longer sells pies on the circuit. But he still loves pizza.
