Last weekend, our little Party on the Porch came to an abrupt halt around 9:30 p.m. when we got a late night hankerin' for some hot, tasty pizza... so we took the party inside.
We'd been sipping on cold adult beverages for most of the night, so we wanted more of a thin-crust light & crisp pizza, rather than your typical dinner-sized oh so filling thick-crust pizza.
Mike recalled -- from his days of living in Nashville -- that Sir Pizza might have just what we were craving.
Unfortunately, they didn't deliver.
Listen to Light's Real Men of Genius "Mr. Chinese Food Delivery Guy":
What?... You Don't Deliver?
The fact is, if you live in Franklin, Tennessee and you want a Sir Pizza pie delivered to your door, you have to pay a $4.95 fee to a SEPARATE company called My Butler.
Confused... but also desperate for "crispy thin pizza with spicy toppings" (like Sir Pizza's sausage and pepperoni!), we opted for the additional delivery fee.
I'm sure glad we did, because we learned a lot about the whole My Butler concept. Moreover, we highly applaud their ingenuity, as well as their prompt, professional service.
Here's How It Works
My Butler phones in your order to the actual restaurant, mentions any coupons, gets the total, adds $4.95 plus 10% gratuity for their service, picks up the hot food, then delivers it to your doorstep in a matter of minutes.
The food is still hot. The driver is VERY friendly... and professional.
And the best part (for those on a budget or just cheapskates like us!)... you can still use any discount or coupon which the restaurant itself honors! Plus, My Butler has their own coupons which regularly appear in coupon booklets like Clipper Magazine, Coupon Mint, and The Clip Book.
Personal Service... With A Twist!
It turns out, My Butler (aka "Franklin's finest take out experience") does more than just deliver fast-food to your doorstep... MUCH more!
Here's a sampling of their services:
- Food Delivery
- home & work delivery locations
- lunch & dinner delivery hours
- no minimum orders

- Dry Cleaning

- Car Service

- car wash

Those are the services they publicly advertise, though I would venture to guess that they'll to most anything you need them to do... for a nominal fee. And we think it's quite reasonable. Plus, it saves you time and energy.
Not to mention the fact that this type of service would be helpful to busy people (and moms and dads who've got their hands full!) who just can't take the time to run a quick errand or two.
In fact, the driver actually told us that they'll run to the grocery store for you & deliver whatever you need -- whether it be a gallon of milk, or your evening's groceries!
My Butler's Delivery Area
It appears that My Butler only delivers in the Franklin/Cool Springs and Brentwood areas at this time. But I bet they'll be growing by leaps and bounds, and will be expanding into other Nashville communities in no time!
Don't live in Middle Tennessee?... Look around, I'm sure a similar service exists in most major cities, and some of the "trendier" suburbs and college towns. If there's not one in your area yet, then by all means, hop on the entrepreneurial bandwagon and get one started!
Personal delivery services like My Butler are going to be around for a long, LONG time...
What I Learned Today:
We're officially addicted to Sir Pizza... but at least we're not the only ones!
Ahhhhh... Hope my mom & brother are reading this, cuz it turns out Sir Pizza is what USED to be called Pizza King! (We used to love Pizza King's thin, crispy crust back in Indiana.)

Just an update...I called My Butler minutes ago and was told that they do ONLY restaurant delivery now since first of the year, and they do not perform any other job tasks besides food delivery. Just thought I'd inform. Know anyone who does run errands, etc., as My Butler used to?
Pizza King ... Sir Pizza???
I was just talking to a friend this morning about my making a trip to Richmond, IN and that I would bring her a pizza from Sir Pizza.
I worked for a company in Muncie in 1958 and got my first bite of that incredible, edible thin crust with the ground pepperoni covering every square inch of the Pi R Squared morsel.
I bring back 8 to 10 frozen pizzas on every trip
In the late 60's and 70's there was a Sir Pizza in winter Park, FL where I also lived. Don't know if it is still there or not.
Here's to the Bud Lite and Sir Pizza guys ... they keep America drooling.
