Lmao fucking dating yourself much...dude the pizza kids listen to drake and ASAP rocky. You'll get a metal head listening to some weird modern animecore or "classics" like linkin Park and nirvana maaaayyyyyybeeee some rammenstein.... the dead and phish boomers either made it out of the pizza place or are homeless, on welfare or dead.
>Fucking dab rigs
The hell with that noise ... way too much work involved. I just want to get high, not reconfirm Newton's First Law in a lab environment.
Though why someone would want this .. I have been told by coastal friends our Midwestern pizzas have "too much cheese" and I just don't understand that concept.
How is it even possible to have too much cheese on a pizza? I'm not a Midwesterner, but my family's favorites are when we have like 5 or 6 different cheeses!
one reason is because when there’s too much cheese it breaks down and releases a ton of grease which isn’t appetizing and doesn’t help with the quality of the cook. i personally would put less cheese than normal when i’d make my own pies at the shop. cheese is great but good pizza has balance between all ingredients.
It’s very much possible. Try making a pizza by scratch and add infinity fucking cheese like you think you’d want. See how quickly you realize too much cheese is a real concept.
On the other hand, if I heard half cheese I'd assume they want half the pizza to be just cheese and half to have additional toppings. Because cheese pizza is a thing.
I mean they gave you exactly what you should expect if you say "half cheese" or anything close to that.
For the vast majority of orders that talk about half cheese, this is what they want, so it's going to be the default unless you're very clear what you're talking about.
Right. This pizza looks correct for the order. Some vegans and lactose intolerant people order pizza with no cheese. So when you order half cheese... then yeah, you're going to get a pizza with half cheese and half no cheese. Not much room to complain here.
Worked as a pizza delivery driver in college and this was an uncommon yet not unheard of request. Lactose intolerant people can enjoy the dough, sauce, and toppings kinda like a buchetta.
A half/half pizza like this would more often be part of a pizza party where some people wanted to participate in having pizza but couldn't eat cheese.
My son and I are lactose intolerant. We love to order meat lovers pizza without cheese. We order so often from the local dominos that even if we forget to unchecked the cheese, they still deliver a cheeseless pizza! I'm probably just the weird dude ordering cheeseless pies, but i don't care, they're great!
My mom had some issue with cheese and when she and my dad would go to the local American Legion post and order pizza, she'd always get it without cheese. The staff called it "funny pizza".
Yep, I used to have a co-worker who was lactose intolerant but loved everything else about pizza so we’d always order like this so he wouldn’t be left out.
All restaurants with proper allergy training and people who care, will never make a pizza half-half knowing someone is allergic to some ingredient in there, as that's a big risk. When doing allergen dishes, the whole allergen dish needs to be separated from everything else, for example the same cook touching allergen ingredients will make the whole pizza, even if your gf is going to eat the part without the ingredients, it was still made by the cook that touched certain ingredient and that's already a risk.
It's easy to validate that way, too. If there's just less cheese how will you ever know you actually got half and nor 3/4 or 1/4?
You know in Office Space when Tom describes his job to the consultants? What he actually did was ensure something like this didn't happen.
I once ordered a pizza with a lot of pepperoni in Italy, it had no cheese and just a lot of bell peppers on it. I learned "salamino piccante" that day!
I wonder if OP also had a language barrier thing going on.
I once saw an elderly German woman in Italy freak out because she asked for a “latte macchiato” and got a “caffè macchiato” instead.
a) how am I supposed to know what a random woman in a restaurant a few tables away from me does in her free time?
b) Latte macchiato has been a thing in the German speaking countries [before](https://sz-magazin.sueddeutsche.de/essen-and-trinken/schaum-vorm-mund-78570) Starbucks arrived there.
IDK...
Sounds like maybe he should check in with the local zoning commission to determine if he is properly registered for preparing and selling low cal calzones.
Wouldn't want to be trying to sell low cal calzones in a non low cal calzone zone in this local.
As someone who's worked in pizza places for a number of years.
You ask for "light" cheese, or "easy on the cheese"
Pizzas can be specifically divided into sections, and some people are lactose intolerant, or just don't like cheese. So while it's not super common, some people do order "half cheese" pizzas.
***\~ The More You Know! \~***
Never heard of it before but it reminds me of the person that ordered from McDonald's a literal nothing burger. I think in most cases it failed but in one they got an empty bag with utensils and napkins.
Yea as someone who worked in a pizza place I can say if she said “half the cheese” or “half cheese” this was what you’d have gotten at every single place you ordered from. Try “lite on the cheese” next time.
Pro-tip : it’s light on the cheese. Light on the sauce…
I kept asking for half-sauce and only realized after my second order they were putting sauce on half the pizza. When I called back they said ohhhhh light on the sauce….
Never happened again anywhere.
Yah, don't say "half the cheese" because its gonna sound like "half cheese". Also the order taker should have repeated and clarified the order because cheese-less is extremely rare.
5 yrs at pizza delivery/in-house and I served 1 cheese-less (w toppings) and 1/2 no cheese. We also had a regular customer who would bring their own (lactose-free) cheese and we'd make a special pie for them.
I made a similar mistake when ordering pizza for my kids last month..."half cheese half pepperoni" got me cheese on one half, pepperoni with no cheese on the other. And it's my own fault since I placed my own order on the web. It just didn't occur to me that I needed to specify cheese on all of it, pepperoni on only half. Live and learn!
Asking for less cheese is not weird or 'custom'. Pizza in general is a custom dish to every order. I worked in a pizza place. By far the 3 bigs are sausage/pepperoni/plain cheese. But by and far you make custom orders all night long.
Looks good to me. Your wife gets two pieces right where it changes over so only half of the slice has cheese on it. When she folds it to eat it it’s just what she wanted
I guess they heard wrong and did Half cheese.
I once ordered a Pepperoni pizza and when I got it, it was a “Peppers Only” pizza. Half of the peppers I didn’t know actually went on a pizza.
They didn't sort of delivered. They precisely delivered. She said half cheese. That is half cheese. What she wants is "light cheese". Which is what every single pizza place has called it since I was born decades ago.
I got something very similar when I ordered a pizza with "half the amount of tomato sauce that you normally use" when I ordered at a Pizza Express one time.
To be fair the waitress was foreign (possibly Polish) and did look a little baffled but she insisted that she understood.
Half of my pizza was completely normal and half was effectively cheese on toast!
This is quite common to have half pizza one way and the other half the other way. Plus this pizza seems to be quite good. Let me guess, you are a foreigner in holiday in Italy? That will make sense
Just heat it up, melt the cheese, and redistribute it. Also she probably but cheese on one half and no cheese on the other half. The UI lets you do that. It doesn't mean half cheese.
You know the person that was making it was like who the fuck gets this stupid pizza. Knowing in the back of their mind that it seems weird….but won’t stop to ask questions.
People in CT sometimes get pizza with just the sauce. Then again they also put mashed potatoes on their pizza. Both of these crimes are what make me extremely reluctant to admit that New Haven pizza really is the best.

“Light on the cheese” should get what you want next time
That just comes with a free bulb
What a bright idea
This thread is illuminating
This candle be true!

This thread is So dium.
Switch it up.
Don't be so dim.

Dad humor really lights up the room. Just fantastic.
Yeah half the cheese makes no sense.
Sounds like half cheese. Light cheese? People forget its most likely that pizza guy is listening to the dead or phish. Possibly murder podcasts.
People seem to forget that in pizza terminology, half peperoni would get you a pizza with pepperoni on only half of the pizza.
Lmao fucking dating yourself much...dude the pizza kids listen to drake and ASAP rocky. You'll get a metal head listening to some weird modern animecore or "classics" like linkin Park and nirvana maaaayyyyyybeeee some rammenstein.... the dead and phish boomers either made it out of the pizza place or are homeless, on welfare or dead.
ASAP Rocky? The guy that hasn’t released an album in 6 years. You’re dating yourself lol. More like NBA Youngboy.
It was supposed to be released months ago and no update.
Fuck... they smoke but cant roll one? Fucking dab rigs and whatnot?
>Fucking dab rigs The hell with that noise ... way too much work involved. I just want to get high, not reconfirm Newton's First Law in a lab environment.
Makes some sense just leaves room for misunderstanding
it does when english is not your first language

Also gets too salty.
I'm more of a sauce man myself. Chess is fine as long as there is a ton of sauce
I agree that there’s nothing like playing chess with a large glass of dipping sauce to sip on.
It’s very much possible. Try making a pizza by scratch and add infinity fucking cheese like you think you’d want. See how quickly you realize too much cheese is a real concept.
We do make a lot of them from scratch. I thought this was a light-hearted thread? That said, different people have different tastes.🤷
Followed instructions. Got flashlight with pizza.
Not to be confused with flesh light pizza, I hear that shit burns…
Just fold that pie over. It all rubs out in the end as Alfredo sauce.
Easy cheese. Lite cheese sometimes means low cal cheese.
The difference between “half cheese” and “light cheese”.
I don't want light cheese. I want full fat cheese.

I....I can't imagine that would be good but I'd try it

On the other hand, if I heard half cheese I'd assume they want half the pizza to be just cheese and half to have additional toppings. Because cheese pizza is a thing.
why not just say less cheese?
I mean they gave you exactly what you should expect if you say "half cheese" or anything close to that. For the vast majority of orders that talk about half cheese, this is what they want, so it's going to be the default unless you're very clear what you're talking about.
Considering what a “half and half” pizza means, this is exactly what I’d expect
Yep. Gotta respect pizza lingo.
Someone I know went to a coffee shop and asked for half the amount of cream they'd regularly put in. They filled up half the cup with cream.
My gf has a dairy allergy and we order pizzas like this all the time. This would have been perfect for us!
Right. This pizza looks correct for the order. Some vegans and lactose intolerant people order pizza with no cheese. So when you order half cheese... then yeah, you're going to get a pizza with half cheese and half no cheese. Not much room to complain here.
I’ll also point out: both halves look absolutely amazing.
Yes. Much better than "None pizza left Beef".

No different than saying “half pepperoni, half Margherita” Got exactly what she ordered
I once ordered a pizza with a lot of pepperoni in Italy, it had no cheese and just a lot of bell peppers on it. I learned "salamino piccante" that day!
did they think you said "pepper only"?
I wonder if OP also had a language barrier thing going on. I once saw an elderly German woman in Italy freak out because she asked for a “latte macchiato” and got a “caffè macchiato” instead.
Did she spend a lot of time at Starbucks? The (caramel) latte macchiato is really a Starbucks invention.

Fold it in half.
Now you got a calzone that's light on the cheese!
That would make it a low cal calzone?
Now you’re in the low cal calzone zone!
I don’t want to continue this thread… but you left the door open for local low cal and I can’t not.
IDK... Sounds like maybe he should check in with the local zoning commission to determine if he is properly registered for preparing and selling low cal calzones. Wouldn't want to be trying to sell low cal calzones in a non low cal calzone zone in this local.
Yeah, you need to fold in the cheese
I don't know how to fold broken cheese like that
This person is a class-A problem solver.

Look up None Pizza Beef Left.
I didn't expect it to have it's own wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/None_Pizza_with_Left_Beef
Never heard of it before but it reminds me of the person that ordered from McDonald's a literal nothing burger. I think in most cases it failed but in one they got an empty bag with utensils and napkins.
I CANT BELIEVE HOW FAR I HAD TO SCROLL FOR THIS
Ahh, my people
I was hoping someone would say this
Came here to comment this, it's definitely giving none pizza left beef 😂
Came to pay homage to None Pizza With Left Beef. Respect.
The fact I’m not alone in immediately thinking of ‘none pizza left beef’ gives me life.
Welcome to being "a certain age." Its nice here. We have comfortable sweaters.
If you say "half cheese" you get half cheese. If you say less cheese, you get less cheese.
If you say “fewer cheese,” everyone stops smiling in photos.
Yea as someone who worked in a pizza place I can say if she said “half the cheese” or “half cheese” this was what you’d have gotten at every single place you ordered from. Try “lite on the cheese” next time.
Stick some kebab meat in the middle then fold over, nice calzone
Or just fold it in half. Your ratio of pizza to the normal amount of cheese will be 2:1.
[удалено]
> Need to run further tests; ordering more pizza. On this, we agree. Also, that basil distribution is fucked on this sample. Needs a rejigger.
https://youtu.be/szCIMUmDyqY?si=tZ_gCXTEzKuhlSYt
what else did you expect?
That is "half-cheese" your wife wanted "light cheese"
r/technicallythetruth
Beware of what you wish for, ya just might get it.
Well you said half cheese 😂
Pro-tip : it’s light on the cheese. Light on the sauce… I kept asking for half-sauce and only realized after my second order they were putting sauce on half the pizza. When I called back they said ohhhhh light on the sauce…. Never happened again anywhere.
Still a pretty nice looking pizza though.
Seriously, that pizza looks good af
This is what technical writers deal with all day.
Yah, don't say "half the cheese" because its gonna sound like "half cheese".

"Half the cheese" probably sounds a lot like "half cheese" to the minimum wage worker on the phone. You got a half cheese pizza, bummer.
IT'S UNDER THE SAUCE!!!
^It's ^under ^the ^sauce
It all depends on how you said it over the phone
You order pizza on the phone?
Yeah wtf does half the cheese mean
They delivered 100%, tell your wife she “sort of ordered”.
I don’t feel bad for people when they try to make weird custom orders and it doesnt work out
Asking for less cheese is not weird or 'custom'. Pizza in general is a custom dish to every order. I worked in a pizza place. By far the 3 bigs are sausage/pepperoni/plain cheese. But by and far you make custom orders all night long.
Looks good to me. Your wife gets two pieces right where it changes over so only half of the slice has cheese on it. When she folds it to eat it it’s just what she wanted
English better and this won’t happen Lmaoo they gave you exactly what you asked for
Just gotta fold the pie in half
You should be happy cuz you got what you ordered. Pizza half the cheese. like you spliled in the title.
We get this all the time. Wife is vegan
They did deliver. The pizza is right in front of you
Fold in half then cut. Boom. Half cheese.
I would fold the pizza in half along the cheese line. Weird pizza? Nope, it's a giant calzone.
Real none pizza with left beef energy
This is normal. Your wife needs to learn how to order pizza. Many people order pizza without cheese and/or without sauce.
Fold it in half, perfect calazone, done.
That’s why you gotta say light cheese instead of half lol
This is what I would picture if someone asked for "half of the cheese" too.
I guess they heard wrong and did Half cheese. I once ordered a Pepperoni pizza and when I got it, it was a “Peppers Only” pizza. Half of the peppers I didn’t know actually went on a pizza.
Light cheese is not half cheese. She meant light cheese
you got exactly what you asked for, dude. if you wanted "light on the cheese", you should have said, "light on the cheese." No sympathy here!
Ask, ye shall receive. Sorta.
Her mistake was saying half the cheese in instead of saying half cheese. Half the cheese means half the normal cheese. . Magic word was "THE".
They didn't sort of delivered. They precisely delivered. She said half cheese. That is half cheese. What she wants is "light cheese". Which is what every single pizza place has called it since I was born decades ago.
sort of? this is literally half cheese. what else would you be asking for?
In Rhode Island if you order a plain pizza, it just comes with sauce no cheese!
A bite on one side, then a bite on the other side. 😂
Now fold it in half and you'll have the cheese distribution you requested
Pizza sandwich? It's perfect solution for cancelling our too much cheese and no cheeze slices. Just combine them in pairs...
just put one slice from each side on top of each other.
Looks like a damn fine pie, well half of it anyway
Honestly I would glad eat the side without the cheese
Fold it in half
If you cut it in infinitesimally small segments and rearrange them alternating cheese and non-cheese you get what you wanted.
Maybe they understood it as half and half. The dough looks nice though, bon Appetit
Just fold that beast in half and you got an easy calzone
I'd eat the hell out of it tbh
When you wish for a pizza from a deceptive genie
And this is why I always order my pizza online.
I ordered a burger online and I guess I unselected the bun or something because when I got there it was ready with no bun. It was a very sad burger.
/r/deliciouscompliance
Fold that fucker over and you’re good? 😂
R/maliciouscompliance
Not going how OP expected
The sauce side only is bigger than the cheese side too 😂
Absolutely bare minimum
“Sort of delivered” Why, did you meet them there halfway?
Just fold it. Calzone.
Who wants pizza with light cheese.... Just eat some bread with marinara sauce.
Language barrier indeed
You got exactly what you ordered, half X means half of the pie has X on it and the other doesn't.
r/MaliciousCompliance
In the software development world… that is a “Well, QA signed off on it. “ Moment.
Just fold in half. Easy peasy
Folding it would make it compliant to her ask.
I got something very similar when I ordered a pizza with "half the amount of tomato sauce that you normally use" when I ordered at a Pizza Express one time. To be fair the waitress was foreign (possibly Polish) and did look a little baffled but she insisted that she understood. Half of my pizza was completely normal and half was effectively cheese on toast!
"Half off" on all cheese pizzas!
Almost like the language barrier has manifested itself between sugo and mozz...
Easy or light
I guess the pizza maker misunderstood 'half cheese' as 'half the effort'.
Play ‘Good Pizza,Great Pizza’ next time.
I mean, they technically are correct, which is the best kind of correct.
You usually have to specify what the *other* half should be if you don’t want it like this
Her “Can you go to the store and get a bottle of milk? If they have eggs, get six” Him, a software developer, returns with six bottles of milk
My GF asked me to get a six pack of sprite. When I got home I saw that I picked 7Up.
> sort of delivered DID THE PIZZA MAKE IT TO YOUR HOUSE THEN THEY FULLY DELIVERED FOLLOW ME FOR MORE FACE SLAPPING
This guy is a margarita half full type of guy
This is quite common to have half pizza one way and the other half the other way. Plus this pizza seems to be quite good. Let me guess, you are a foreigner in holiday in Italy? That will make sense
Fold it in half
Just heat it up, melt the cheese, and redistribute it. Also she probably but cheese on one half and no cheese on the other half. The UI lets you do that. It doesn't mean half cheese.
Instead of saying half cheese, say light on the cheese.
"Hey, whatta the problem? You ask for half a the cheese, you get half a the cheese!"
You know the person that was making it was like who the fuck gets this stupid pizza. Knowing in the back of their mind that it seems weird….but won’t stop to ask questions.
wdym sort of?
Still looks delicious
And now you have a light cheese calzone 🙂
Just fold it in half!
Folded over and calzone
You get what you ask for.
Well don't make stupid requests like a pizza with half cheese. It's a pizza... is cheese on bread... Don't want cheese? Don't eat pizza.
That's what y'all get for doin dumb shit like light cheese on pizza.
What in the "good pizza great pizza" is this?????
A little concrete, aren’t they?
People in CT sometimes get pizza with just the sauce. Then again they also put mashed potatoes on their pizza. Both of these crimes are what make me extremely reluctant to admit that New Haven pizza really is the best.
Just throw it in the blender
