"Pizza Delivery" is the first segment of the fifth episode of the American animated television series ''SpongeBob SquarePants''. The episode was written by Sherm Cohen, Aaron Springer, and Peter Burns, and was directed by Sean Dempsey. Cohen also functioned as storyboard director, and Springer worked as storyboard artist. It originally aired on Nickelodeon in the United States on August 14, 1999. In the episode, the Krusty Krab receives a call from a customer ordering a pizza, and Mr. Krabs sends SpongeBob and Squidward to deliver it. When the two employees become stranded in the middle of a desert, they get into numerous predicaments. Along the way, SpongeBob tries to show Squidward the way of the pioneers. In pitching the show to Nickelodeon, creator Stephen Hillenburg originally wanted the idea of having the characters on a road trip, inspired by the 1989 film ''Powwow Highway''. However, he eventually gave up the idea, and resurrected it in "Pizza Delivery". The episode received positive reviews, with most media critics considering it one of the best ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' episodes. ==Plot== At closing time, the Krusty Krab receives a call from a customer ordering a pizza, a product that they do not serve. Knowing that he could get extra money, Mr. Krabs spontaneously makes a Krabby Patty pizza and has SpongeBob and Squidward deliver it. The two go to deliver the pizza; however, SpongeBob cannot drive and is still in boating school. When SpongeBob tries to shift the boat into reverse, he becomes nervous and goes back too far, causing the two to become stranded in a desert. With the boat out of gas, they are forced to deliver the pizza on foot.〔''SpongeBob SquarePants: The Complete 1st Season''. DVD. Paramount Home Entertainment, 2003.〕 While delivering the pizza, SpongeBob sings a song about the Krusty Krab pizza, and how it is "the best pizza for you and me." The two gradually become tired, and Squidward gets hungry, but SpongeBob prevents him from eating the pizza. They then get whirled into a tornado, where the pizza saves their lives when SpongeBob uses it as a parachute. After escaping the tornado, the two lose sight of the road, and SpongeBob shows Squidward some "pioneer tricks" to help them find it, such as hitchhiking, eating corals, telling where civilization is by looking at what direction moss points, and even using boulders as vehicles. The eternally skeptic Squidward does not believe him, but reconsiders when they end up driving a boulder to the customer's house. Unfortunately, their journey does not pay off well. The customer gets angry because he did not get the drink he said he ordered, and slams the door on SpongeBob. He starts crying, but Squidward, having a change of heart, confronts the customer and slams the pizza in his face. Squidward comforts SpongeBob, assuring the customer ate the pizza, cheering him up. The two drive back to the Krusty Krab, which is comically revealed to be close nearby, much to Squidward's dismay. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pizza Delivery (SpongeBob SquarePants)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
