The Best Investment Harry Ever Made

Every time a proper pizza place is forced to sell cheap fried chicken, a sprite looses their wings.
The most frightening thing a Sprite can read on a menu “Mozarella style topping” not real mozzarella, nor often even real cheese. Definitely not real pizza, something an Outsider would relish.

Indeed, and Toot and Za'Gard understand these are hard times, also they do not want to lose their wings.. However since they put their lives on the line for Za'Lord, they shouldn't have to settle for second best, i.e. frozen.
Conspiracy Theorist:
On this basis with a frozen (but defrosted) croissant base fresh sauce, fresh toppings and proper mozzarella Harry’s pizza’s are probably better than Pizza S’Press or any of the chains. Frankly Harry owning it would improve their pies.

Maybe to human taste, but these are little folk, and Toot made it clear to Harry that Za'Gard weren't happy with the frozen stuff he was providing them with.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Perhaps there is a type of Winter Fae that is especially adapted to making dough?
Or perhaps the Za Guard abducted the Pillsbury Doughboy (Popp’in fresh)from the Never Never and he is imprisoned in Castle Dresden making endless fresh pizza bases.
Actually the latter makes sense, certainly to Toot, and Popp might willingly join the Za Guard as it’s first infantry member, he is a doughboy after all, and cannot fly.
He would of course be able to make doughnuts as well, to provide the Za_Guard with a properly rounded meal. The perfect match for the Za Guard, Culinary Specialist Doughboy
With the power to make infinite amounts of fresh dough instantly from basic ingredients and insane baking skills Doughboy would also be essential to Harry’s Business Plan.
Jim, if this is brought to your attention I waive all legal claim to the idea and concept and you are wholly free to use it, and you should be able to use “Doughboy”, not only is it not the characters official name,(created 1965) but has been a slang term amongst the infantry since the American Civil War, avoiding the problem you had with the Phobophages.
I rather like the idea of Harry bothered by Toot into reviewing the troops as a chore doing a double take on seeing Culinary Specialist Doughboy for the first time having eaten his baked goods for months.
