CADILLAC â Super Bowl Sunday used to be a pretty big night for Pizza Plus, in downtown Cadillac. We sell a few more pizzas than we would any other Sunday but it used to be a lot better, said Paul Kennard, whose father, Dave, opened the pizzeria in the 1960s under the name Dave and Jim s.
Kennard said sales during the big game started to slow down around 15 years ago. He theorized that more people are having food delivered to them rather than picking it up themselves (Pizza Plus doesn t offer delivery). He added that chicken wings also may have become a more popular food at parties, usurping the once-dominant pizza.
