Message: <blockquote data-quote="Richards" data-source="post: 9447903" data-attributes="member: 508">A recent pineapple pizza incident: last Sunday, I went to Little Caesar's to pick up some pizzas for our weekly DVD viewing during dinner.  (We're currently exposing my nephew to Angel.)  Said nephew eats a normal crust cheese pizza by himself (he's 17); my wife opted for a thin crust sausage, light on the sauce; while my grown son (who usually shares a pizza with me) wanted Hula Hawaiian on a normal crust.Not liking pineapple on pizza myself, I asked them to make it normal with one exception: instead of spreading the whole pizza's worth of pineapple all over (like they'd do with the ham), I asked them to put all of it on one half of the pizza.  That way, I'm getting the full ingredients of a Hula Hawaiian but it's really half a ham pizza for me and half a ham-and-double-pineapple pizza for my son.The guy taking my order assured me he understood (and I had him repeat it back to me to make sure), I paid for the pizzas, and sat down to read my book while they made them.  When they called my name and I went to pick them up, I peeked inside at the pizzas ("trust but verify") and sure enough, it was a normal Hula Hawaiian, with the pineapple spread evenly all around.  (And thus, in my mind, inedible for me.)So the guy apologized and offered to remake it, this time as I had asked.  He put the other pizzas in the warmer, and once I realized he was giving me the "standard" Hula Hawaiian for free due to them screwing it up, I had him make the replacement pizza just ham - that way, I'd end up with an entire ham pizza and my son would get a whole Hula Hawaiian for himself.  Neither he nor I could eat an entire pizza by ourselves, but I figured we could reheat them later on that week.As it turned out (which I didn't notice until I took everything home), they'd screwed up the original Hula Hawaiian and the replacement ham by making them thin crust.  But that actually worked out well, as my son polished off his thin crust on his own, and I ended up with some leftover thin crust ham and half a thin crust sausage, the latter inherited from my wife (whose stomach sometimes can't handle cooked tomatoes).  So this past week, I had leftover thin crust pizza on three separate days for lunch.However, I think I'm vetoing Hula Hawaiians from now on, as they're too much trouble; my son can wait until his older brother comes by for the winter as they both like pineapple on their pizza.  The Three Meat Treat sounds much better, anyway.Johnathan</blockquote>
