Mystic Pizza Dough
Sam’s Italian Foods has called Maine home for nearly 70 years. It’s safe to say they know a thing or two about dough — the Famous Breakfast Pizzas notwithstanding.
That’s probably why officials in Lewiston, Me. seem to be leaning toward a theory that a Sam’s location there may be responsible for a “50- to 60-foot doughy mass” that’s clogging up a city sewer that runs underground in front of the pizzeria. Sam’s employees refused comment.
When asked about the clog, city public services director David Jones commented the city will likely have to replace a section of pipe. Jones’s description of the situation makes it sound like a X-rated version of The Blob.
“We have to go back in and pump out the manhole every eight hours,” he said… “We’ve tried punching through it, but each time we do, it just oozes back over the hole.”
More in the Sun Journal. Baseball writer Rob Neyer somehow predicted all this, back in 1999, when he wrote about a “wad of dough thick enough to clog a Paris sewer”.
