MamaHen, that’s child’s play compared to how exactly I arrange my Skittles before consumption. It involves color (not a problem with M&M’s, since they all taste the same anyway), the number of different colors, and how to arrange them in even stacks. Very complex. Honesty (my SO) laughed her ass off the first time she saw me counting and arranging them.
I have been known to chip the pepperoni off of one frozen pizza (mine) and donate it to another one (my boyfriend’s). Now, if we were dealing with freshly cooked pies, this wouldn’t work for my vegetarian self, but when you’ve got a flash-frozen raw pizza, onto which slices of pepperoni were dropped like so many poker chips, it works like a dream.
I’m anal about it. It takes me about 5 minutes to get the pepperoni just so on my frozen pizza.
You have to put extra pepperoni on. Hand sliced. Throw it everywhere with abandon.
I once, in a fit of…um…er…th’hellwithit pot-induced whimsey arranged the pepperoni on several frozen pizzas to make smiley-faces. I even punched holes in the two “eye” pepperonis on each pizza so they’d have “eyeballs”.
For a bunch of friends.
Who’d invited other people, who I didn’t know, over (with my ok).
For a cigar-smokin’, beer-guzzlin’, serious poker game.
I delivered four lobotmized-looking happyface-pizzas to the table all at once.
They were not amused.
I was.
We’re still friends, despite that.

It’s perfectly legal to have one slice of pepperoni in the dead-center of the pizza, BUT then you must slice it MANY MANY TIMES when the pizza is done – it becomes the “tip” of all the slices.
Of course, if you’re too much of a Mamma’s Boy to have the guts to slice a pepperoni…
First, is this a great topic or what?? Thanks, DDG!!
I like to stack all of my pepperoni slices in one spot on top of each other, then eat all around it until the last bite. Then…
:eek:
btw, no frozen pizza is complete unless you pile on a s#!tload of extra cheese and black olives.
Is there a hyphen in “anal retentive?”
Okay, how many of you are anal about requiring the pizza cutter to be washed prior to use on your pizza? I don’t want any flavors from other pizzas tainting my own. If a person wants pineapple on their pizza (eeewwwww) then let them have the pineapple. Just don’t slice through a couple of pounds of pineapple and then try to slice my pizza next. I once asked a pizzaria in Boston to wash or provide a fresh cutter to slice my pizza, the guy went ballistic, “Whatsa matta wid you? You too good fer us or sumthin?”
I, too, would like to know what kind of person does not meticulously rearrange the pepperoni slices on a frozen pizza (other than those who do not eat them at all.) How could you eat one the way they come? Yech!
JFTR, I have to make sure that mine do not touch and that they are evenly distributed over the pizza.
Nope! But then, my vote probably won’t be counted because I’m a vegetarian.
OMG!! :eek: I do the exact same thing!!
I thought I was crazy because any colored foods/candies such as Skittles, M&Ms, Fruit Loops, etc. - I must eat in a color-pattern. Usually alternating colors. Sometimes I will even lay them all out in a line! I can’t just grab a handful and throw them in my mouth. It’s impossible to do, I’ve tried!!
And yes, people are often very surprised and find it very humorous that I do it this way. I feel like such an Obsessive-Compulsive when I do it…
So, Cruncheroo, You are not alone!

Pizza…yeah…pizza…
You assume that there is, in fact, actual meat anywhere to be found in pepperoni.
I don’t buy pizzas very often. When I do, it is the frozen, french bread kind from Healthy Choice or Lean Cuisine. I don’t care how the pepperonis are dispersed, as long as they aren’t all clumped up in just one spot.

Make that 28-1-1, but I don’t take it to the extremes of resurfacing the entire thing, just re-arranging the peps. I will add some, if I have some handy, otherwise, not big deal.
Speaking of french bread pizza:
About a decade ago, Pepperidge Farm came out with croissant crust frozen pizza. It was one of the best things I had ever tasted. And wouldn’t’cha know it, they discontinued it within a year! Waaaaaaaaaah!
MMmmmm… pizza!
I let the pepperoni fall where it may…any extra goes to hubby. Extra cheese is a must as well as olives and for a finishing touch…hot banana peppers

Yeah, that’ll make you poop a chalupa, all right.
Yeah, yeah. But lets get serious here. This is no laughing matter. I mean, you really have to have the pepperoni spread out evenly, or the results can be disterous. Ideally, you want to get it so you have pepperoni in every single bite. This of course takes years of training to perfect, and is not the sort of thing anybody would want to try at home, at least not without protective goggles, flak jacket, and of course the star-spangled crash helmet, which saved Even Knievel’s life of countless pizza excursions.

That’s easy. Get one of those frozen pepperoni pizzas with those teensy weensy little chunks of pepperoni spread all over the pie, instead of a few big circular slices.
Not only do I make sure they’re evenly distributed, but I always add extra from the fridge (usually we do homemade about once a week, but frozen is okay). I would cover the available pizza surface to ensure no pepperoni-less bite if I weren’t subject to ridicule. Don’t forget the fresh ground pepper and extra oregano. And parmesan.
