The aroma gets me

 There is a little Caesars pizza shop right behind the building where I work. I took a picture off of google maps. The red arrow points to where I work. That green part off the roof is our office.

They start making pizzas and it's all I can smell. It makes me so incredibly hungry and it's so tempting to skip the lunch I brough and walk over and get something else. So far I've been strong enough to resist the temptation.

The funny thing is, it wasn't until it started getting cold that we were able to smell the food. During the summer I don't remember ever being able to smell it.

I would never have been able to resist this long! You have incredible willpower. Smelling stronger in cold weather is puzzling. I Googled it and found this. "Cold weather slows down the movement of scent molecules." So theoretically it should smell stronger in warm weather. Maybe it comes through the heat vents?

Little Caesar's is VERY reasonable and you guys could share it at work!

Oh, I love the fragrance of pizza. Yummm, now I sure would like a nice cheesy slice.
Good for you resisting it. I think it would be hard to do.
When I worked at the Sears Snack Bar oh so many years ago, they brought in pizza ovens and made a bar with all sorts of fixings. We would make them to order from prepared dough crusts. It was really good flavors and was my downfall ...

whenever i go to stop and shop, i always smell fried chicken when i get out of the car, i resist. but doing it everyday that may be hard. i have never eaten little caesars...maybe it smells better than it tastes!!

The smell of pizza cooking is hard to resist and I'm not sure I could have done it that long.

That would definitely be tempting.
