You know, like when you take it out of the bag or the box and all the pepperoni has fallen off and is down at the bottom? Are you totally anal about arranging it in straight rows on the pizza, trying to get it so the pizza cutter won’t cut any of the slices in half? Or are you a normal person who just tosses it on there and gets the thing into the oven before everybody dies of starvation?
One vote here for “totally anal”.
(I realize that our survey results will be somewhat skewed, since probably only truly anal people would open a thread like this anyway.)
I want every slice to have EXACTLY the same number of pepperonies (or half pepperonies) after I cut the pizza. And I cut the slices with protractor-like precision, too, not the quick-and-dirty half-assed way they cut it at pizza parlors. I swear, at some pizza places I routinely end up with TWO slices at one end of the pizza that are the same size as ONE slice at the other end, or even smaller! Don’t these people understand the need for SLICE ANGLE EQUITY?!
blush I’m not at the point of checking to see if any pepperonies will be cut, but I do tend to space them equally on the pizza. God meant for there to be symmetry in pizza toppings.
Aw, crap, you found me out. Yeah, I do it, but it’s just to ensure that every slice has pepperoni; if you don’t rearrange, you’ll wind up with a few slices of just cheese. But, I don’t care if they get cut or not.
Not totally anal at all. I’ll make sure they’re not overlapping- that just makes for imperfectly cooked pepperoni- and roughly symmetrical. I’d like to have pepperoni on each slice, but I also like to make sure the pizza cutters cuts up one or two pieces, since one of the best parts of eating frozen pizza is picking off a dangling half-pepperoni and munching it.
I really prefer the term “well-organized” to “anal,” if you don’t mind.
Yes, I not only maniacally rearrange the pepperonis but (Ike, take note) I add good sauce, chopped onions and a bit of salt and pepper before cooking the thing.
Completely anal here, the pepperonis must me in an exacting symmetrical layout. I haven’t gotten out a ruler, compass and protractor yet but I have paused before placing the pizza in the oven to minutely correct the placement of pepperonis. The resulting pizza can then be sliced in such a manner as to provide exactly the same number of pepperonis per slice.
Just think, if it weren’t for us, then the frozen-pizza-eaters-of-the-world might end up with a slice bereft of pepperoni, and then where would they be? Huh? Where!
I’m with tracer and Fletch! The pepperonis must be equally distributed. I’m not above removing one if it will help restore order to the chaos that is frozen pizza.
I always add a second layer of pepperoni, so they start off overlapping, but fit together completely when they shrink.
And the middle slice of pepperoni belongs to the person with the first slice. Since you don’t cut through pepperonis, but shift them to the slice you’re taking next, the last slice always has the least.
I have to take all the toppings off. remove as much of the sauce as possible. Add the toppings, then add more shredded mozzarella and pepperoni until it’s piled up an inch off the crust. Only then do I cook it. After it’s cooked, I’ll do the annoyingly aggravating task of trying to fit whole pieces of meat on each slice. However, when you add as much as I do, you don’t worry about any slice going without sufficient amounts of pepperoni.
Oddly enough, my BF wants his pizzas made the exact same way I do…little sauce, extra cheese, only pepperoni/sausage. HeeHee. We’re so weird. HeeHee…
I would move them all to the other half of the pizza (I don’t like pepperoni- (f)R got all the pepperoni). Just piled on randomly.
I did leave a one-inch ‘DMZ’ so I didn’t have to have the pepperoni, and (f)R didn’t have to eat my fresh mushrooms, black olives and extra mozzarella that I piled onto my side of the pizza.
And yeah, I gave some mozzarella to (f)R. He never liked mushrooms or olives. Perfectly happy with the pepperoni.
Are there people who don’t rearrange the slices of pepperoni on a frozen pizza? Are there people who don’t know that it’s wrong to have all the pepperoni in one place?
Another vote for those who arrange the pepperoni to cover the entire pizza. I like to cook my pizza til my pepperoni is crisp and I like very little sauce. I also add onion to it just to give it an extra kick. I thought everyone rearranged their pizza’s to fit their tastes, I was shocked when I married and my husband didn’t seem to care if his was even or not. My husband also puts slices of American cheese on his along with diced pickles, I think he might be pregnant.
AS far as Skittles go, I eat them by color. I always start with green and end with orange though. Same with M&M's only with orange eaten first and green's last...just in case you wanted to know.
