> I'm also not sure why you'd declare functions for each type of pizza; that's data.
Yep, had the same thoughts reading the code. What you suggest even seems a purer implementation of the DRY principle, rather than what is proposed in the article which would result in copy and pasting the make_pepperoni_pizza() function as soon as you decide to sell a third type of pizza.
Of course, the DRY principle used without considering other factors could produce bad results, but all the code in the article is bad for reasons unrelated to the principle it attempts to criticize.
