The pizza guy

[JerseyDevil]

Why is it that whenever you go to a pizza place and get a slice or 2, they have to chuck the slices in the oven and leave them there for a few minutes like they're cooking the damn thing again? I tell them to just warm the slices up, and I get them and they're steamin' hot. Then I have to wait for the pizza to cool off again. No one I know likes sizzling pizza. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

It must be a pizza-maker's code.

Cold, leftover pizza is often better than hot.:D

Then I have to wait for the pizza to cool off again. No one I know likes sizzling pizza.

But I think we can all agree that it's best when it's just recently stopped sizzling, right?

Unless it's the next day. Next day is good cold, but fresh should have only recently stopped sizzling.

I have to agree. I also hate when the crust becomes hard when they do this. There is a place in Pittsburgh, Ambridge, that serves slices like this all the time, but their trademark is that they put xtra cheese and desired toppings on after they have warmed it up, then they put it in a to go box. By the time you get home it has melted . It sounds gross but it's actually very good - a different texture than the way cheese and toppings are usually cooked.

I don't know the name of the place, but everyone refers to it as Police Station Pizza. Worth the trip to Ambridge.

I'm definitely the king of burning my toungue on hot pizza.

I love to get fried Mozzerella sticks as an appetizer. Every time I do I say,"every time I eat this I don't pay attention and I choke on the cheeze when it gets stuck in my throat," - and every time I say this I choke. It is a vicious cycle of HOT CHEEZE.:rolleyes:

As a restaurant manager I'll be the first to tell you that 80% of the population are cheap, counterfeit morons that can't even order their own damn steaks correctly. So if I served one of our fine gourmet thin crust wood fired oven pizzas to someone and it was 'warm' they would eat most of it, and then complain that it was cold and expect not to pay for it.

As well, I'm also in the seat to be sued for my pizza being so hot that it burnt someones mouth and then they will try to sue me. It's the morons with the greed and the lawyers... that's why your pizza is too damn hot.

Bon Apitit!

Gordo, there are some great restaurants in Louisville (I'm a native), and I have a lot of friends & acquaintences in the food/bar industry there. Which one do you manage?
