The Pizza Hut franchise experimented with $10 any size, anytime pizzas about a year ago, and given that they've kept the pricing strategy, it must be driving sales. The Super Bowl (Held February 6, 2011 when the Pittsburgh Steelers face-off against the Green Bay Packers) is considered the biggest day of the year for Pizza Sales. Domino's has been trying to re-make its image by using fresher ingredients, and they too offer $5.99 Carry-Out Pizza. Papa Johns and local Pizza Joints have lowered the prices similar to sandwich shops did when Subway did $5 Footlongs in 2008.
These price wars do squeeze profit margins, however these jobs are typically low-wage positions with high turnover of staff. The lower prices encourages people to purchase Pizza more often, which means the Pizza place needs to keep more people employed during the week to keep up with demand.
Although these jobs don't typically offer high wages or benefits, you can generate good money being a delivery driver because of Tips. The price of gas has remained 'low' or stable for the past year, and the higher fuel efficient cars make this a viable option if you have a car. Certain areas and certain Pizza places will get more tips than others. Discount pizza often leads to a discounted tip, but sometimes people will tip out some of the money they saved buying $10 Pizzas.
No one really dreams of being a Pizza delivery driver, unless you own the place yourself ... but it is a part time job that you can find hiring in almost any mid-sized city. Its a good choice for students or people that have another job, as most places open after 10am and stay open fairly late. You have to deal with minimum wage and no benefits; but the lower prices have kept customers buying Pizza more often and that means regular work and money in your pocket.
In terms of California, Pizza Hut has a large presence throughout the state and is often hiring in Stockton, CA. Smaller valley cities won't have as many openings as the larger ones, but you should be able to find Pizza jobs in Modesto.

Sacramento Kings May Move To Anaheim CA - Causing Job Loss In NorCal
The Sacramento Kings have been trying to get a new basketball stadium built in Sacramento for over 10 years now. The owners have threatened to move many times, often to Las Vegas where they have casinos and other investments. The NBA however will not allow a team in that city for the time being. The 'great' fans of Sacramento don't come to games, and won't fork over the money to build a new stadium ... so the Kings and the jobs the team creates will be gone from Northern California.
The rumor is that the Anaheim Ducks owner is offering the Honda Center + $100 Million dollar relocation loan to the Kings/Maloofs, who appear to be in some financial troubles. Many people think of only the players, arena & team staff that loose jobs ... however, surrounding hotels, airlines, beat/newspaper writers, and other local businesses will suffer without the Kings in Sacramento. Many of the management and staff positions will be forced to re-locate to Southern California, giving that area it's 3rd NBA franchise. Jobs in Sacramento are already scarce, so loosing a multi-million dollar 'business' would not be good for the city. Jobs in Stockton and jobs in Lodi, the nearby valley cities may loose jobs due to the Kings moving south as well.
If the fans won't come to games, and won't build an arena that will help draw people and players to the team that will make it better ... I sure hope Sacramento residents don't get too upset when they find out their NBA team is packing up and moving south. Residents in Sacramento that benefit because of the Kings being in town will want to monitor the situation, as those jobs will be at risk. Those that live in near Anaheim can look for new job opportunities in Anaheim to possibly open up if the deal goes down. The NBA and group of owners that include nearby Los Angeles Lakers & Los Angeles Clippers teams will decide if the move can happen if submitted by the Kings ownership in the coming weeks.
