The Deliverator belongs to an elite order..."
Here at ThinkGeek World Domination Headquarters, there is only one pizza delivery place we ever call. CosaNostra Pizza. The order always shows up in less than 30 minutes. The pie's still warm, in pristine condition, protected by its corrugated-plastic carapace. Best of all, our local deliverator shows up in his massive car wearing a ninja-black activated charcoal uniform. None of those crappy polo shirts and baseball caps with the corporate logo or the VW Rabbit with the neon sign perched precariously on the roof.
If you don't know what we're talking about by now, this shirt is probably not for you. But if you're curious, read on. The first chapter of one of second generation cyberpunk's seminal works, Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson, follows Hiro Protagonist on a run as a pizza delivery guy for the mafia. The chapter is visceral, gritty, and perfectly paints the picture of the novel's future world which feels simultaneously absurd and feasible. We thought it only fitting to make a t-shirt in honor of the CosaNostra Pizza chain, Stephenson's fictional creation which served as the baptism into cyberpunk for so many of us.
Zoom to be sure not to miss the shirt's details. The basics? Black, 100% cotton t-shirt. Text reads, "CosaNostra Pizza" with "#3569, proudly serving the Valley burbclaves" printed underneath
