I recently noticed that the pizza place across from my laundromat has
a phone number which ends with 4 zeros.

I don't think I have seen this before.  In fact, I remember as a kid
(I was a strange kid) thinking that those numbers would probably be
reserved for phoning the exchange itself, but I never remember seeing
0000--at least until yesterday.

Why are NNX-0000 (I hope I have the N's and X's straight) numbers so
rare?
