Pepperoni Woes

[Sapphire Silk]

I miss Godfather's. Haven't lived near one since I left Delaware

[Pagan]

Godfather's is why I put my cheese on top of everything else when I make pizza. Just makes sense to me, holds down everything. And there's nothing better than green chile encased in cheese.

We just had a Godfather's reopen in ABQ after closing 10 years ago. Apparently, it's been packed. I hope they open up one a little closer to me. I don't really feel like driving 30 minutes to a rather unsavory part of town to get one. No matter how good they are.

"Lying would mean that you are wrong deliberately. All I am saying is that you are wrong, I have no way of knowing if that is deliberate."

That is brilliant! Also very accurate.

[Caractacus_Potts]

Well of course there is no pepperoni on one of the pies. He only order one with pepperoni and order a cheese only.

How do you make 35 cents with two US coins, one of which is not a quarter?

A dime and a quarter. Hey, one of them is not a quarter!

Note: It's almost impossible to burn pizza in the oven that we used. It was basically a conveyer belt and when the pizzas emerged at the end, they were cooked.

There is a place near me that does great brick oven thin crust pizza. When I had a couple of dozen people at my house I order like eight pizzas. Unfortunately I didn't check the bottoms and half of them were burned black. It sucked but the place didn't deliver and I wasn't going on another 40 minute round trip to fix them. I never even called to complain about it although I have made it a point to check before I leave the store every time since and have explained why I am checking to the few employees who asked.

MANAGER: Yeah, we put the pepperoni under the cheese...Yeah I....Yours was the only order in the oven....There are people here who can attest to...I'm not calling you a liar...

My favorite response to someone saying I am accusing them of lying (which I unfortunately only got to use a couple of times) was, "Lying would mean that you are wrong deliberately. All I am saying is that you are wrong, I have no way of knowing if that is deliberate."

The pizza place I used to work at had most of the cheese under the toppings with a handful on top to hold it all together.

And yeah, we used to encounter this kind of SC scammer all the time. -.- My boss however never gave out refunds or replacements til the customer brought the pizza back to the shop. One woman for example claimed her pizzas were burned, so I told her to bring them back. She tried to refuse, saying she had the kids, it was late, she didn't have time etc but gave in when I pointed out that my boss wouldn't give a refund or replacement unless we had the old pizzas.

She came in with four pizza boxes and then demanded a refund. I said, "Let me just look at the pizzas" and she tried to stop me, blustering about me calling her a liar and couldn't I just take her word for it? I opened the boxes. There was nothing there cept a sprinkle of cheese and one chewed crust. Luckily, my boss was there to back me up with I told the woman that since the pizzas had been eaten, she couldn't get a replacement or a refund. She started bullshitting, saying that her kids were hungry, but my boss wouldn't budge. The SC eventually stormed out screaming that it wasn't fair and they really were burned.

Note: It's almost impossible to burn pizza in the oven that we used. It was basically a conveyer belt and when the pizzas emerged at the end, they were cooked. Only time that pizza got burned was when amateur makers stuffed too many pizzas in at the beginning, too fast for the slicers to process them, and they all got stuck in the middle. This didn't happen this time, cuz I was the maker and I was an expert by then. xD

I guess I need to get out more. I just know that [I]our[I] Godfather's closed some years ago, and then recently, in the ultimate act of betrayal, they tore down the building that housed the awesomeness...

...sigh...

[Racket_Man]

There is (or perhaps *was*) a pizza chain (in the States at least) called Godfather's, and no matter what pizza you ordered, it was built with the cheese on top....

They were pretty awesome, by the way...

Godfathers YUM YUM YUM I LOVE THEM BEST chain pizza of all time. YES they are thankfully still around despite Herman Cain

As to the pepperoni on top of the cheese, I believe that Pizza Hut has always put the sliced meats (pepperoni and ham) on top of the cheese when ordered with ONLY that sliced meat (I remember that one from like 35 years ago). They say their customers prefer the "crispiness" that this method imparts.

the only time they did NOT do this was during a 8 - 12 month "experiment" a couple of years ago.

[pitmonkey]

Godfathers pizza is still around. and yes they have some of the best pizza.

[Jester]

And Jester, I hate to say this, but for once, you're wrong.

Actually, we're both wrong.

The obvious answer when eating at home is to look at the frozen pie, realize that it's pretty much crap in a box, pitch it in the trash, and

(A) make your own pizza with extra pepperoni,
(B) go out for pizza and orer it with extra pepperoni, or
(C) order delivery with extra pepperoni.

"Doesn't matter. Had pizza."

Wow. A reference I actually GET for once! Cool!

[sms001]

My biggest gripe with this type of suck is that it's a variant of the "I reject your reality and insert my own" -these people really seem to believe that others are so unaware or have such poor memories that simply saying something will create enough confusion that they'll get their way. So I totally understand where you're coming from with this:

ME: That guy's full of shit. I watched the pizzas being made.

Yeah, there can be times when it IS too busy to note every pie, or it wasn't in your area, or what have you. But there are also times when it is a simple, inescapable FACT that you observe and remember a particular incident, and when the SC lies about it, they might as well be calling you stupid to your face. These are the ones where a caving management really irk me.

OT: A.) Wow, there are still a lot of Godfather's around. Even some way up here. Might have to revisit next time I'm in Green Bay. B.) Seen pepperoni on top and under -prefer on top myself, but "Doesn't matter. Had pizza." C.) Frozens have a niche use: quick, easy, cheap fuel. I use to fold 'em like a sammich during my hard core coding days. But homemade > all. Had one last night in fact, with fresh from garden tomato, green pepper, and onions.

[Insomnia]

The guy is claiming there's no pepperoni on one of his pizzas.

Well of course there is no pepperoni on one of the pies. He only order one with pepperoni and order a cheese only. Sounds like the guy either fucked up the order to begin with or ordered the pies that way on purpose to later claim you forgot to put the pepperoni on both pies and then get a freebie.

Yes. Yes they were.

[Seshat]

I've never seen pizza without the cheese on top, holding everything on.

And Jester, I hate to say this, but for once, you're wrong.

[Jester]

A: He didn't like the price and was now trying to bullshit his way into some kind of comp or freebie expecting we'd take his word sight unseen.

B: He didn't order enough pizza and was going to try to turn it back on us.

C: He's an idiot and he gave the pepperoni pizza to the people that wanted a plain cheese pizza, who are now grumbling about the pepperoni and are picking it off, but are far too nice to complain to the guy.

D: He's an idiot and doesn't actually know what pepperoni looks or tastes like.

I don't think I have seen pepperoni pizza with the pepperoni under the cheese.

Not that uncommon...I've seen it many times over the years. One thing that's relatively new that I've been seeing more and more is places with burgers melting the cheese over the bacon, mushrooms, etc., which is brilliant because it keeps everything in place.

And I never get enough pepperoni, either eating out or heating up a frozen pizza. Nothing irks me more than only three or so pieces of pepperoni per slice.

The obvious solution to this when eating out is to order your pizza with extra pepperoni.

And the solution to it when eating at home is to look at the frozen pie, realize it doesn't have enough pepperoni on it anyway, AND that it's pretty much crap in a box, pitch it in the trash, and either go out or order delivery....with extra pepperoni of course.

[Monterey Jack]

I've never seen a pizza with the pepperoni under the cheese, either. Not saying it's bad - sounds sensible to me. Just never saw that here.

I dunno...I'm sure it would taste just the same, but I, personally, would prefer to see the pepperoni on the top. And I never get enough pepperoni, either eating out or heating up a frozen pizza. Nothing irks me more than only three or so pieces of pepperoni per slice.
