Monty Brinton/CBSDrew Carey's favorite pizza joint is not only coming on down, it's also flying on over.
The Price Is Right host is celebrating his first full year as emcee of the daytime staple by ordering a very special—not to mention costly—delivery of pizza straight from Cleveland.
Carey, an Ohio native who is so fond of Antonio's Pizza that he has even made mention of the parlor on his former sitcom, has ordered 45 cheese and pepperoni pizzas to be delivered to Los Angeles for Saturday's wrap party marking the end of the show's 36th season.
While the pizzas themselves ring up to roughly $450, it will cost Carey nearly three times that for their safe and uneaten delivery—UPS is taking on the task, providing overnight delivery of the frozen pies.
"He never forgot where he came from," Grace Loschiavo, owner of Antonio's, told Cleveland's Plain Dealer newspaper. "Thousands of pizza places from here to California and he picked us."
Graciousness is clearly included in his order; gratuity is not.
