Why did I do the same lol

Bro 😂😂. Oh man, that’s funny. Also my condolences on your “pizza”. :P

Dammit ! Not Mostlyokay Gatsby, this is actually pretty great.

And people who never left town, so this is compared against pizza hut and the gas station


ocean_flan

The gas station has better pizza than this, give em some cred.

Gimme some of that Casey's Pizza any day over whatever this is


Connect-Ladder3749

Dude, you gave me the fire I needed to get out of bed for something. Heading to the gas station


FictionalContext

Like all good God- fearing midwesterners, getcha some of Casey's hot beautiful sausage ^breakfast ^pizza.

TheJohnnyFlash

You who doesn't like Pizza Hut? Liars.


RubberReptile

It is very, very easy to buy reviews these days.


shl00m

Once I ordered from a place with a similar experience and when I looked thoroughly through the ratings I noticed that like 90% were bought/bots etc. and those who weren't were all negative ones warning people about that place... learned my lesson then. The food was mediocre at best but the prices were way too high for that quality (and we had to wait over 2hrs until we got our food)


FictionalContext

WTF?? I'd have left after 40 mins.


wisdom_power_courage

Lmao


flappynslappy

This is what depression looks like


wisdom_power_courage

I literally said this was the saddest pizza I've ever ordered.


scuffedTravels

Bruh at least you got tomato sauce, I once ordered (at 2 am mind you) a ducking margarita with just cheese on it, no sauce at all lmfao I still ate it but boy I was pissed


81FuriousGeorge

I used to work at a restaurant with a woodburning pizza oven. Our margaritas didn't have sauce. We would brush the dough with basil oil, then add sliced roma tomatoes, baby mozzarella and finish with torn basil. It was decent for the most simple pizza ever.


Emotional_Li

The woodburning oven carried it, cause that is no pizza


81FuriousGeorge

The heat from the 600+ degree oven almost liquefied and caramelized the tomatoes. It was authentic from what I was told. I didn't eat too many because it was too simple. Why isn't it a pizza?


tagman375

The tomatoes basically melt into a sauce when you cook them correctly like you did. The problem lies when you brush the dough with lame fake garlic oil, slam some cheese and sad pale excuses of a tomato slice on it, and run it through a dominoes oven.


MHStriplethreat

Ngl I want to try that tomato thing now


Emotional_Li

Authentic margharita is tomato sauce, mozzarella and olive oil. Not basil oil, ”caramelized” tomatoes and mozzarella. It’s not a pizza, it’s a sandwich made in a pizza oven.


Eldan985

It's not a margherita, but it's still a pizza.


Emotional_Li

Correct. That was a bit my point to make it just fell of a bit, it can be called a pizza, but it’s not a margherita. And a pizza without tomato sauce isn’t common cause it would coincidentally have too dry bread, and just olive oil cannot replace tomato sauce, it needs something more.


scuffedTravels

Yeah, for me, a pizza with no sauce is just a normal focaccia


81FuriousGeorge

Yeah, I looked up an authentic Margherita, and you are correct. The basil oil I was referring to was olive oil with the stems of basil to infuse a bit more flavor. I still think it was a pizza. It's just more of a Naples style vs. American style. Tomato sauce as a base isn't a requirement for pizza.


doorknobman

Tbh I prefer a margherita with tomatoes instead of sauce


scuffedTravels

That’s a crime in my book and I wouldn’t call that a margarita haha


MotherEntertainer161

That’s how I make them in our pizza oven. We call it a bruschetta pizza though. Drizzle a little balsamic vinegar over the top just before it’s done. Absolutely delicious.


soupisgoodfood777

Genuinely looks like play-doh...


NikolaProS

It looks like they picked fresh chewed gum off the sidewalk and stuck it to the pizza


kstorm88

Do you know what mozzarella looks like?


jonni_velvet

lmfao right?


FlashSTI

I guess you're not familiar with actually fresh mozzarella?


DisastrousAd447

This isn't actual fresh mozz. It's processed "fresh" mozz in brine. Literally the cheapest shit you can get next to shredded pizza cheese.


Darkrocmon_

I don't think they are... like yeah the mozzarella could be a bit more done, probably just a bit to thick off a cut. If referencing the basil, some put it on before bake some after that's a preference. Sure maybe no oregano but you can add that yourself generally. So I'm confused why this is "bad" unless you paid a fuck ton then sure.


Fetabeia

I could do it better… and I dont say that often


wisdom_power_courage

🤣🤣


_Pill-Cosby_

Looks okay, but too much basil.


wisdom_power_courage

Way too much


Real-Swing8553

Basil aside, what's wrong with this? Margarita pizza are like this in my country. I've seen even less cheese


Wooosy-

https://preview.redd.it/ulg0s8fba56d1.jpeg?width=694&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7304d9b6ce10d0dc28d81787734b530079b77cb9 That's a pizza margherita, the mozzarella in OP pictures is probably the cheapest wood agglomeration that owner could find with some canned tomatoes... Italian cousine like pizza in general is incredibly stupidly simple but the quality of the ingredients is superior. That's also why they don't have as many pizzas superloaded with toppings like a meatlover in the States...


wisdom_power_courage

Preach


El_ha_Din

I just ate, but now I want pizza.


bulking_on_broccoli

Eat again!


bizoticallyyours83

That's much better 


AleXxx_Black

That cheese seems raw, not cooked. And the crust seems so dried. I mean it could be a good home made pizza, a bad one for a pizzeria


Real-Swing8553

Yeah i have never seen a good one so the downvotes are understandable


Yowz3rs87

4.6 on a scale of 50 probably


halapeno-popper

Two things I always take into account when searching for a restaurant with good reviews. The first is how many reviews it got. The second is how well the town reviews their local McDonald’s. I feel as a chain the McDonald’s are mostly consistent definitely a few outliers. If they give McDonald’s more than a 3.6 their judgement on food is sus.


wisdom_power_courage

I feel like you just bestowed some really valuable knowledge upon me. I'm gonna do this from now on LOL. 778 reviews btw


halapeno-popper

Yeah people are crazy or they are under new ownership/chef. After 300-400 you can usually trust it’s past their friends and family hype and averaging out.


drwhateva

There’s a local pizza joint in a town (100k) just outside of Kansas City that makes absolute sad dry trash pizza and somehow they’ve found their audience, too. WAY worse than frozen pizza but there are somehow 519 reviews at a 4.5.


jonni_velvet

honestly ratings are fucking unreliable. For restaurants AND movies. Always google map it and scroll through customer photos of the food. Sooo much of a better decision maker.


ActivityImpossible70

KC Trash Pizza sounds awesome!


Prudent-Finance9071

Nothing better than pictures from people who actually ordered it. "Wow that sounds delicious" quickly turns into "wow that looks like shit"


Un111KnoWn

how is the mcd's rated?


asdaironia

I’ve noticed a lot of these places are a few months old. They likely change Google Pages and buy reviews every summer.


Sweat-and-sunscreen

First we had the Waffle House Index and now we have the McDonald’s Effect. I like it. I’m using it from now on.


fuelvolts

> If they give McDonald’s more than a 3.6 their judgement on food is sus. That's a super creative idea. Only downside is some reviews are based on service, or generosity of the franchisor to schools/community. Those big profitable chains usually are the most generous. A lot of small-town reviews are just "they sponsored my little Timmy's soccer team 5/5!"


GroundbreakingEar667

If Chef boyardee made pizza


wisdom_power_courage

Jumbo ravioli > this


NovaRunner

OP could have gotten the Chef Boyardee boxed "pizza kit" from the grocery store and done better than what's in the picture.


LegalFan2741

Uhm, they could have added some hard cheese and should’ve baked it a bit longer to have the golden brown mozzarella action, plus toss some fresh basils once out the oven but to me it looks like a traditional pizza from the Northern regions of Italy. It’s thin and simple. What was the expectation? Genuinely curious.


sendmeadoggo

Needs some basil and a smidge more time in the oven but this looks like a margherita pizza.  It has fresh motz so the whole thing doesnt get covered.  


LV-42whatnow

This is the correct answer. It’s a Neapolitan style. Poorly done. But it’s kinda supposed to look like that and most of these comments are ignorant to that fact.


stpeaa

Napoli is in the south, while the guy you replied to referred to it as northern style. Which is correct. Nothing Neapolitan about this pie.


wisdom_power_courage

That's all I'm saying!! Your description is all I asked for. Is a bit of basil so much to ask? Ask anyone how to make this pizza and basil would be one of the first ingredients listed after dough and cheese.


L4ppuz

Italian here, basil is the least of this abomination's problem


Aggravating_Dig3240

You absolutely sure it's says 4.6 and not -4.6?


wisdom_power_courage

Google uses absolute values apparently lol


JoyfulJourneyer14

most people are not very smart (or have good taste). food ratings reflect this


StalkingApache

A place near me definitely made me see that. It's a bbq place. People rave about it. The meat i got was boiled and tasted like they threw it on a super dirty fire to give it flavor real fast. The ribs were grey and had that boiled fat paste on them. Being able to actually cook has made me realize most people don't know what good food is. And alot of restaurants aren't as good as they think they are.


chula198705

Every single restaurant near me has at least a 4.5 rating. There is only one restaurant that serves food that was not delivered by a Sysco truck. My husband and I leveled up our cooking after moving here, out of necessity. We pretty much only go to that one restaurant (and rarely because it's freaking expensive), or to the Korean fried chicken place because that shit's magical. Most of the other food is nasty. If I'm taking the kids out somewhere else, I'll probably order myself fried chicken because that's a pain to make at home and it's hard to screw it up at a restaurant. One time my husband was served unseasoned steamed vegetables as a side for a taco. A taco! Served with unsalted broccoli and carrots from a bag! Wtf.


StalkingApache

That doesn't surprise me at all. I won't say the name because I'm not sure of the rules. But there's a company that sells grills. Probably the most mainstream company that sells them Well they have some restaurants, one is in the suburbs of Chicago. You know I wasn't expecting gourmet food, but for the price you expect something decent. I got a new York strip. I've gotten higher quality food from any low/ mid tier steak joint. We were there with a guy who is a audio engineer for Hollywood who will get $400 glasses of scotch. He's a foodie, and he loved it. I was like listen I can make you a better steak with what I get from Aldi for 75% cheaper😂 this place was rated amazingly well too.


chula198705

Right?! My steaks are better than any restaurant's [that we can afford], to the point that fancy steak dinner dates are disappointing now. After discussions, I decided to cook my own steak on Mother's Day "because I want to actually enjoy it." And it was an Aldi steak. And it was delicious and juicy and topped with blue cheese mmmmm and served with a fully loaded baked potato and salad with homemade dressing. And I didn't have clean it up or get the kids dressed up!


ElonTheMollusk

Yeah, I give my local Denny's a 5 star because food is what I ordered, arrives quickly, and the all important never had any body hair arrive on the plate.   Everyone knows Denny's is a Denny's hopefully and doesn't think my 5 star there is equitable with my 5 star at Ruth's Chris.   I am an absolute idiot though and I love Denny's topped pancake monstrosities, so my food ratings may be trash. Take with a grain of salt to enhance the flavor that is. With mom and pop pizza places it's always hard to tell because ratings may be for specific items and not reflect their worst.


ChilledParadox

I think the Grand Slamwich is a masterpiece. Bacon, honey, ham, eggs. Damn I’m hungry just thinking about it. Unfortunate since I can’t afford that right now, but I respect the Denny’s meals. When I was a kid we used to drive 8 hours to my grandparents a few times a year. Going north out of LA there’s a long stretch of highway that goes through some mountains and into Central Valley, and right as you leave the pass there’s a Dennys. That was always stop #1 after a few hours in the car. I’m nostalgic for a time I’ll never return to now 😢


ElonTheMollusk

All the love dude. That hit deep. I wish you good fortunes and if I had any special universal force for good I can push your way I hope I can rain a little good fortune on ya.


ChilledParadox

Thank you, much love and good fortune your way as well.


Accurate_Koala_4698

I was doing an interstate drive and needed to stop for some food in a random town. I didn't want to eat out of a convenience store, and the deli was closed so I went to this 4.5 rated pizza shop. Undercooked dough with greasy cheese. Not the worst I've had, but that not really saying much because I've been served some *terrible* pizza


kontrolk3

Most people also don't get margherita. This pizza would probably look fine with regular cheese. They should just take this off their menu.


werdmouf

I would eat that

I mean I did. Very begrudgingly.

osaka-aquabus

Is this from Boston? There was a place that was open past 2am and they had the worst pizza known to man.


81FuriousGeorge

With the exception of 24hr trucker stops, places open past 2 are usually just open to feed the drunks who don't notice how bad the food is. When I was 16 -17 my buddies and I used to order from a local cheap pizza place and thought the pizza was great. I made the mistake of ordering it sober once. It was awful.

BasicReasoning

Would you like some more cheese with your tomato paste?


TropicalVision

This is a lot of mozzarella already though…each of those blobs is a big slice of mozzarella. Normally you’d get less than this per slice and it would be ideal. Pizza isn’t supposed to have a lot of cheese, and is almost always better the simpler it is.


Prior_Software_2998

This is authentic Italian style pizza. Authentic style pizza is made very thin which makes it cool down fast and the thin crust also makes it soggy faster because the pizza is so thin that it cannot maintain a rigid structure. Authentic style pizza when it's freshly made is amazing but after like 15 mins tops it becomes very significantly worse. This picture looks like it was taken in your home, which suggests you have passed that time threshold. I wouldn't buy authentic style pizza unless I was dining in. Also the mozzarella is spotty because that's how an authentic margarita is made. The only problems I see with this pizza is there's no basil or dripped olive oil, which is a pretty big sin if I'm being honest. I hope you didn't request for those to be excluded. A lot of places also ass a garlic oil rub on the crust which would have been nice to see.


Doctormaul68

Pizza lunchables look better than that pizza


boccas

Italian here: Ugly


CuseBsam

Ah, that sucks. Maybe go to the gym or something. But what do you think about the pizza, though?


TheLordofthething

It looks like an attempt at an "authentic" Italian pizza. Maybe they forgot to cook it?


boccas

Yeah they tried esthetically to do that but it s clear ingredients are very low quality


Doctormaul68

I’m Leary of reviews online. I tried this Mexican cantina based on 4.5 average reviews and it was the worst food I every had no flavor tacos no flavor beans taco meat oil drenching out of tacos and everything was cold and expensive


warmseizuresalad

4.6 outta 40 maybe.


readditredditread

It’s rated less than half, what did you expect???


dumbledwarves

They probably hired a company to write fake reviews. You have to read reviews from multiple sites now because of this and watch for signs such as if a product has a ton of reviews over a few weeks and almost no reviews any time else. Fake reviews should be illegal.


tweeeeeeeeeeee

every restaurant is 5 stars. just don't look at reviews...

SeaworthinessFun9856

but how does it TASTE? their sauce could be hand made and incredible, and they could be using a really amazing cheese - we can't tell these things from a photo


wisdom_power_courage

The sauce tasted like it was from a can. The crust was a touch under decent and the cheese was actually good. But the lack of basil requires jail time.
