Pizza Claus Sightings and Stories


These are a few of the stories we recently received from loyal Pizza Claus fans. Are these stories true? That's up for you to decide. Read them and enjoy!


These are the two reports we got from the 2000 December 27th Season:

This last minute report is from a local mall. They informed us of an incident that happened on Christmas Eve. A surly, old man wearing a Santa suit approached the mall's Santa and proceded to curse and swear at him. Unfortunately, parents and children were there to witness it. Some children ran away crying. Mall security arrived late to the scene, minutes after the man left. Customers standing at the mall entrance say he jumped into a double-parked, red Festiva and drove off. This is one of the best reports we've had all season!

Another report of an old red Festiva just came in. This time, it was seen speeding up Rt. 61 heading towards New Philadelphia. Reports tell us Pizza Claus is getting ready for his big night in just 2 days!


He was here! I just tucked the kids into bed and finished watching the Jerry Springer show (I had cousins on it) when I heard a commotion out on the front lawn. I opened the door of my trailer and looked out to see this little red car screech to a stop. Then this angry drunk man in a Santa Claus hat stumbled out of the car holding a bunch of shredded pieces of a map. He asked me for directions to Athens, but I don't think he understood them. Then he thanked me by giving me a pizza! Maybe next year he'll give me some pepperoni.

My mommy told me Pizza Claus don't exist. But then who broke down our door last night? Mommy says it was some of Daddy's friends. I don't think that's true. They wouldn't have left a pizza in our freezer.

Me and the boys were out at the Riverwalk the other night and saw a red Festiva with a Pennsylvania license plate. Well, A&M is playing Penn State in the Alamo Bowl, so we thought we'd cause some trouble. After all, you don't mess with Texas. Little Joe walked up to the car and banged on the window, and was about to rip off one of the windshield wipers, when the passenger door opens and a mechanic jumps out with a machine gun! I think Little Joe wet himself.

We just put in a long cold day of bass fishin' at the dam right below Three Mile Island. We decided we could use a coupla beers and a few games of pool to unwind. I pulled into the Susquehanna Inn just as a red Festiva comes tearin' out of the lot nearly driving under the front end of my Dodge Ram pickup. Didn't think much about it - figured, Hell, it's just one of those blasted, low life river rats. When we get inside, the bartender starts tellin' us all about some crazy loon with a major attitude in a Santa suit who just left! I slapped Jack upside the head and said, "Good Grief! Do you realize who we just about ran over out there?!!

It was Friday the 13th (Coincidence? I think not). Ryan and I were just coming back from the Fairlane mall. Although it was only mid November, I decided to get a head start on my Christmas shopping. On our way into Pottsville, we found ourselves behind a red festiva. Our curiousity peeked, so we decided to follow the vehicle and observe as much as we could about it and the driver. First off we immediately memorized the liscence plate which read ***-****, but we did not stop there. You can imagine our suprise when we pulled up beside the festiva at a red light and realized that the man was wearing a black cowboy hat. To our further amazment, the guy had a silver earing and the beginings of a dark beard. We did not know what to make of this sighting. I suppose everyone must decide for themselves, what they believe.

I never thought anyone would believe this story. Last Dec. 26th I was hanging out with some of my buddies at Friar Tuck's, a bar across the street from Old Dominion University, just eating chicken wings and drinking beer--I don't remember what kind, probably whatever was on special. Anyway, right after last call this guy walks in, and I'm thinking he's the weirdest looking dude I've ever seen. He's wearing a Santa Claus suit, and he's got a peg leg. Well he orders a Schmidt's, which I'd never heard of, and the bar didn't have any, but it was past last call anyway, so the bartender told him to leave. Probably he was drunk already. But this guy gets upset and starts banging on the bar and shouting at the top of his lungs, so the bouncer was going to throw him out on his face when his friend, a big guy wearing mechanic's coveralls, comes in and starts waving a machine gun around. I thought he was some kind of nutcase Navy Seal or something. Well the bartender gives in and gives them a couple of beers and they go on their way. I didn't think anything more of it until I saw this web site, because I distinctly remember as I was leaving the bar that those two guys drove by in a Red Festiva, with the cops chasing them. It had to be Pizza Claus. Had to be, man.

It was about 1:00 AM, December 27th eve. I was out in the barn checking up on the cattle 'cause they were making a ruckus. Finally got 'em calmed down and was fixing to head inside when I heard a car coming up the driveway. Now I ain't got many neighbors, and it was late, so there wern't no call for someone to be tearing up my driveway at 80 miles an hour. Ain't no wonder the cows were upset. I yelled to my boy to grab his shotgun, and I grabbed mine from the gun rack of my truck, but wouldn't you know it, by the time I got the safety released, the car was on its way back down to the highway. My boy never did come outside with his gun. When I went back inside, there he was, sitting down at the eatin' table with a fresh pizza. Darndest thing.

I work in a 24-hour diner, so I see lots of strange characters. Had one guy a few years back came in every night dressed up as the grim reaper and ordered shoo-fly pie and tomato juice. Weird. But some characters you remember more than others. Every December 26th, just as midnight rolls around, this weirdo in a Santa Claus suit comes in here wanting a 3-egg omelette to go. Last couple years we've had it ready for him when he came in. He don't tip well, but at least he's entertaining. And his friend, the mean guy in the coveralls, is SO dreamy! But you know what's weirder? Every year before this guy comes in, there are these two freaks who show up and order short stacks of pancakes and English muffins with extra butter and won't shut up about finding this Pizza Claus guy. Then they leave right before he gets here. I stopped giving them the extra butter, hoping they'll quit it. I wish they'd get a life.
