Good things about Tokyo that you don't get elsewhere in Japan #2- pizza delivery.

You can get a pizza delivered in just about every city, can you not? Both Fukuoka and Kobe have numerous vendors, and Fukuoka is a national oddity deprived of Pizza Hut.

OK, affordable pizza delivery I should have said.
Pizza hut and pizza LA are dear.

Are there any words in English that have two opposite meanings? 'Forfordelt' means being at a disadvantage, but it lately it has been used as having an advantage. Both meanings are now accepted in the dictionary.

We have a few words like this, it's usually a generational divide between who thinks what means what.

Tons.  I remember old people bitching back in the 80s about how the word "bad" had positive connotations among us young uns.

I know "awesome" tended to be a negative word until sometime around the 80s as well.  I'd say "sick" is a more recent one that would fit into that category as well.  Same for "special".
