 +===== Pizza Peon Instructions =====
 +
 +One option for friendly service and tasty pizza is Tivoli Caffe (510-704-1332), which is right across the street from HFA, although a bit of a hike now that we're back in Campbell. They will deliver if you don't want to walk over and pick up pizzas though. Now that we've joined forces with the cosmology group, you'll need nine 16-inch combos (three veg, six meat). This is enough for 2.4 slices each for 30 people. The Tivoli flyer advertises "order 3 or more 16 inch pizzas and pay the 12 inch price" although you should ask for this discount, or it won't be consistently applied. Ideally, place your order the day before pizza lunch, and tell George (or whoever's there) that you will pick them up at 11:55am on Tuesday.
 +
 +If there are no sodas in the fridge, consider buying some from Walgreens (12 packs are around $6) at the top of Telegraph and putting them in the fridge (mark the box "RAL") at least a couple of hours in advance. Much cheaper than ordering along with the pizza.
 +
 +There are usually plates, cups and napkins in the sixth floor kitchen. You could also pick some up with the pizza if you want.
 +
 +Send out an email to ralusers@astro.berkeley.edu announcing pizza lunch the day before (Monday), and at around 11am on the relevant Tuesday.
 +
 +Other pizza places we have used in the past include [[https://webpos.wlinformation.com/zonicorderingbr/?str=north-beach-pizza-berkeley|North Beach Pizza]].
 +The drivers don't bring receipts, though! Print out the receipt page from the 
 +website. (The website doesn't email you a receipt, so don't count on that, either.)
 +Check the "Coupons" portion of their page for ones that can be applied to your
 +order.
 +
 +[[http://berkeley.extremepizza.com/zgrid/proc/site/sitep.jsp|Extreme Pizza]] might also be an option.
 +
 +[[http://www.lanesplitterpizza.com/|Lanesplitter Pizza]] (510-527-8375) doesn't
 +have consistent enough delivery and their thin crust pizzas tend to get cold.

 +===== Pizza Peon Resources =====

 +**BearBuy reimbursement.**  All RES reimbursement is now done through [[http://bearbuy.is.berkeley.edu|BearBuy]].  Here are the steps:
 +
 +  * Login to [[http://bearbuy.is.berkeley.edu|BearBuy]]
 +  * Click "Forms"
 +  * Click "Campus Shared Services"
 +  * Fill out form for each request (lunch, dinner, etc.)
 +  * Attach itemized receipts and old "RES entertainment check request" form with PI signature (see below)
 +  * Select "Add and go to Cart"
 +  * Click "Go"
 +  * Click "View Cart Details"
 +  * Input "NPRAL" into "Org Node"
 +  * Click "Summary"
 +  * Edit Fund (19900), Department (24180), Program Code (44), Chartfield2 (NPCEN)
 +  * Click "Submit"
 +
 +
 +**Old "RES entertainment check request" form:** {{:ral_pizza_reimbursement.xls|Click here}} for a pre-filled reimbursement form.  Print it out and fill it out with the appropriate information. The RES people really don't care who's on the list of people, as long as the price of lunch per person is less than the maximum (which it always is).  It is therefore easier to fill out all ten spaces and simply divide the total cost (including tip!) by 10 and report that as the per-person amount.  Get Carl (or someone else who can sign off on CARMA funds) to sign the form.
 +
 +The un-filled original Excel spreadsheet version of the form is [[http://res.berkeley.edu/res/docs/pur/Res%20Entertainment%20Check%20Request.xls|here]].
 +
 +**NOTE:** the above form is only useful in that it is proof of approval.  Scan it and attach it with your receipts in BearBuy, as described above.
 +
 +**Sample email to ''ralusers'':** Pretty basic.  Herewith:
 +
 +  To: ralusers@astro.berkeley.edu
 +  Subject: Radio lunch tomorrow at noon
 +  
 +  Hi, everyone--
 +  
 +  Tomorrow is the first Tuesday of the month, so we'll be meeting in the sixth floor lounge at Campbell Hall and I'll be bringing pizza.
 +  
 +  See you there,
 +  Peon
