Yeah, I remember a General Manager at Chuck E. Cheeses years back that went and set all the scales used to measure the toppings to read 1/2 ounce when empty. I know that doesn't sound bad to most people, but at the time I believe cheese was about 14 cents per ounce. So he was ripping the customer off for 7 cents worth of cheese not to mention the toppings. All in the name of his "Product Use Bonus".

Well, using proper amounts of ingredients is important, but the pizza score also looks at:
-How big is the pizza? Is it too small for the box, or does the box (when closed) crush the crust?
-Have the toppings been evenly distributed? When eating, will a customer have a topping in each bite?
-How is the cheese distributed, is it even? Are there any large un-cheesed areas of the pizza? Is there a "cheese-lock" on the crust, with no visible sauce?
-Has the pizza been cooked properly, or undercooked? Is the crust a golden brown? What about the underside of the crust? Have any of the toppings been burned?
Using less than the prescribed amount of toppings would actually affect our store's food cost, but there's actually a rather generous "user error" built in as to how that's figured in to bonuses.

All of theses are reasons I never eat pizza from chains. I'd rather risk it all on getting a excellent pizza from some local resturant. All Pizza Hut pizza tastes the same and is too greasy for my liking. Papa John's adds waaaaay too much sauce and not enough cheese, then gives you garlic flavored animal fat to dunk the crust in......vile. Domino's tastes okay but they pissed me off for having no ethics years ago, so I dont buy from them.

Ahhh - this is scary - Friday night I was in town at a computer game shop and someone was walking through the shop and said to their friend audibly: "There's even a Mary-Kate and Ashely computer game!?!". Now it's been mentioned here... and that's just scary.

Not having eaten in Italy, I'll stick with the New Yorkers that were smart enough to head south.
Either way, It's better pizza.

That Garlic Flavoured Animal Fat is delicious. I love it. I must have it.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Yes. Who'd have thought that a computer game based on two fairly popular "tween" characters would ever be mentioned in two different places? It's like how Lee was talking about SUV's in that thread, and THEN I SAW ONE ON THE STREET AND DIED OF SHOCK!
