I was there, you did a fine job. Inspiring, everyone liked it. Yes, you were there to drive enthusiasm for your mission, it's not cynical to note that, and it's naive to be dissapointed by it. EDIT: removed silly domino's in NYC joke

Have you priced out buying good pizza vs cheap pizza for 800 people?

  Yeah, it's true, it's probably possible but a logistical nightmare. Can't actually fault them for that, was a good event all around.

Ah bummer, I thought that was funny. For what it's worth I agree. It just sounds like the OP couldn't find anything big to complain about, so picked on Paul's style rather than the substance of his talk.

YC served Domino's in NYC? I lived there most of my life, swear I never even knew one existed. If this was downtown (Tribeca/Soho), John's would have been the choice. Talk to them a couple days in advance, I'm sure they could handle it. If not, go to 3 or 4 places and get a variety. Just not Domino's.

  It was Papa Johns and it was due to a matter of scale. What local pizzeria could handle 300 pies?

    They had both Papa Johns and Dominos. It was free pizza ... why are we discussing this?

      It's not a huge deal, but it's a matter of NYC culture. It just would have made a better impression to do it differently. Little things can matter.
