For the information of the rest of the unsuspecting  world, the images below illustrates the process of having Pizza at FusionCharts Lab. It has been long since our RnD team has been discussing about having something like a Pizza Chart (just kidding!)

And after closing down the sole Pizza outlet of Dominoz near our ex-lab, we are doing the same for Salt Lake Sector V.
