Yes I can see Marcone buying the local Burger King Franchises would appeal to Marcone to spite Harry, secretly switching out the coke for Pepsi not sure he realises the Pizza S’Press connection, nor would Mab allow him to gain that degree of influence over the Little Folk in her Court. Again this is a reason for Mab to purchase Pizza S’Press. Mab is discharging her favours, not seeking to become beholden anew.

A Pizza oven operated by the Gargoyles on the roof would also make sense, better yet a Gargoyle/ Pizza Oven hybrid, vomiting forth pizza.

There is another example of Harry bound by habit making him more vulnerable. For decades he orders all his pizza’s at the same place. Mab has to buy the place now or maybe Molly did. It would be a smart move.

Or it could be that Toot and company are particular about who makes their pizza and only Pizza S'Press will do.

Unlikely. Pizza s’press is not that good. It is nowhere high on this list: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurants-g35805-c31-Chicago_Illinois.html

Here is a little secret about likes and dislikes when it comes to food, everyone is different when it comes to that, and why should pixies be any different?  You could take someone to the finest pizza place in all of Chicago, but they might prefer the cheapest pizza chain version.  Take mac and cheese, you might make the creamiest version with several kinds of great cheeses, but the person you are serving it to might like the plastic generic version made with powdered cheese and a tiny bit of butter better.  It might simply be a matter of what one is used to, then again some people simply prefer crap! ::)

But the pixies did not get a chance to compare the diverse supply of Chicago pizza.

As far as we know, they haven't, but that doesn't mean that they haven't.  Toot seemed to know
the difference between frozen pizza gotten out of the frozen food section of a supermarket and
freshly made pizza. He found an offer of frozen premade pizza unacceptable,so at some point,Harry or someone else offered it to him for payment.  So do not underestimate the pixies for being gourmets when it comes to pizza.

Mab gives Harry a gift for Maggie, with provisos that she be informed who it is from.
Maggie is the daughter of the Winter Knight.
Zoo Day shows us that she is communicating  with (being influenced by) Molly, the Winter Lady.
Mab's gift allows Maggie to control the power of Winter.
Maggie will be close to 18 when the BAT kicks off.
Mab is angling for Maggie to be a suitable vessel for fae power should a vacancy occur in the fae queens.
