So had a banana for breakfast, time kept slipping slipping slipping into the future and at 3 I decided to just...

Power through!!!

#mistake.


I'm dying 😵.

Ordered a pizza pickup but get this...no pick your own toppings?!?!

Here are a variety of potential pizzas, pick one!


Thoughts??

I'm not sure what to think.  One of my favorite pizza places offers some profoundly strange pizzas which stand up well on their own but if the ingredients were offered separately, could be quite disgusting.  They make a great reuben pizza with a sauce of thousand island and a touch of sauerkraut in it and a great greek pizza with pesto sauce, feta cheese, marinated artichokes, and pine nuts sprinkled on top.  Those toppings work well together, but I shudder to think of what would happen if some of those toppings were offered separately.  An app that discourages you from ordering a pizza with thousand island sauce, sauerkraut, pepperoni, and feta cheese might be a very good thing.

Reuben pizza?!? Interesting!

Better than "interesting", quite tasty.  Now try to imagine that corned beef, swiss cheese, and kraut piled on a pizza with a marinara sauce.  That's the other type of "interesting".

I tend to prefer specialty pizzas to the ones where you just add standard toppings. There are way more interesting options that way. I had a fantastic fig and balsamic pizza when I was travelling. Never would have thought of it and now I want to make one. firopizza.com/menu/signature-pizzas/ Primo: Gorgonzola, Artisan Cheeses, Smoked Prosciutto, Balsamic Drizzle, Fig Drizzle, Shaved Parmesan.

most of the places around here offer specialty pizzas, but you can still always pick your own. I usually end up tweaking a specialty - add some bacon and jalapeno to a BBQ chicken pie that already had red onion included, or leave the olives   off a veggie lover's pie. 

were they a really small shop that probably couldn't handle going off script?

It's a younger mom and pop with vegan/gluten free.


I just thought it was odd they wouldn't let you pick your own, never saw that before

Or maybe some of the stuff was already made? Or packets of toppings or similar ready to put on pizza?

We were at a restaurant last fall and my nephew wanted the buffalo chicken flatbread with no blue cheese. They couldn't do it because the flatbreads were already assembled and ready to bake.

It does seem odd to not offer it up as an option.
