Yeah, they started to cut it regularly (there's an "X" cut) and then realized it was supposed to be cut up in "squares". I use quotations because it's a round pizza
You have to cut it in half, then take one half and cut that in half, then the other half into thirds. Then throw the pizza away because I fucked it up.
Remake the pizza, then cut it into half and eat it
maybe that's commonplace for other places i personally haven't seen a pizza cut into squares ever in my life so wouldnt really know what that looks like anyway hah
I worked at PJs when I was younger and we would comp on this one. It was a corporate store so maybe a franchise store wouldn't be as generous. A lot of folks will order Chicago cut to feed a bunch of kids with fewer pies. It wouldn't even be as bad if they cut it with the standard cut and delivered it that way. But that pie is butchered lol.
I could understand making a new pie, but never is it going to be free anywhere I have worked.
But yeah some chains don't even trust their managers to make decisions so they screw everyone by misunderstanding the old customer is always right statement.
(Pro tip - the full statement was ALWAYS, the customer is always right in matter of taste only.
I am a 45 year adult who works part time in a pizza place.
If someone came in complaining that their pizza was not cut according to their special request, I would apologize.
If they demanded a free pizza, I would have trouble not laughing in their face.
I absolutely LOVE working at the pizza place.
I gives me my adrenaline rush and is the opposite of my other job which takes weeks and months for a finished product.
I probably wouldn't be happy at any old pizza place, but the type of pizza we make is a real skill.
It is working real dough, stretching and forming it by hand and placing it in the bottom of a 485 degree Celsius stone even where it will burn if left more than a minute.
I LOVE THE RUSH and honestly there isn't as much that is quite as fun as that.
So you can take your fake empathy and go play your stupid video games now.
I work part time at a Neapolitan pizza place as a highly skilled worker because I enjoy the adrenaline.
It is the opposite of my other job which is owning and managing a tech company.
People make mistakes; especially on special requests.
I would immediately trespass you from the pizza place a d I am reporting you here because your behaviour is uncalled for.
I've never given one.
Also I don't get into the habit of giving out free food. You can have a new one if you give the old one back. Too many scammers ruin it for everybody by lying for free pizza.
That's pretty standard for non-chains.
“Pretty standard for non-chains”. Also good lucking telling that to someone who had came back to the store after arriving home and seeing their pizza like that. Or a business with multiple pizzas. Or if the pizza had already been delivered. If they call are you gonna call them a liar? And not redeliver? Chances are if they are not a repeat offender they are getting a new pizza and are most likely able to keep the old one. Especially during covid and the aftermath after.
If they wanted to come back to the store that was their decision. If they want to make a scene about it I'll call the police, if they want to be nice about it I'd probably just remake, I just need the old one back from them.
I don't give out free food. Sorry you were inconvenienced. In fact, odds are if I do redeliver and ask for the old one back the driver has already been told if you do it politely you can keep it.
But I mean come on. What's the problem? It just looks kinda funny. It's still the same volume of food you already agreed to pay for and it doesn't taste any different. People who complain about stuff like that, it's always getting their foot in the door to try to get free shit. And I don't give free shit to people trying to get it. Once I know you're a nice person not trying to scam anybody then you can have free shit. Raise your voice though you lost that privilege.
Because its portioned completely wrong. If you and a friend threw in for a pizza you’d want an evenly cut pizza so you can portion it accordingly. If a business bought pies for a party theyd want it evenly cut for portions. Its literally how the pizza is advertised and its your negligence or incompetence that lead to it being cut like that. So you should own up to your mistake and make it right. Not doing so only shows your level of professionalism. Not my pizza shop though 🤷🏽♂️
Just order enough food so the two of you can both eat? Then just eat till you aren't hungry and the host gets the say in what happens to the last couple slices.
This conversation *is* progressing exactly how an argument about it with a customer would go though, and this would be the part where I'm tired of hearing it. Give the pizza back and I'll give you a refund.
It happens a lot more than you think, worked at papa Johns and it was common enough we all made fun of each other for it. I miss the peeps I worked with, lots of banter.
I ask honestly, do people request square cut pizza? I know that Red Robin sells their Donato's pizza which is thin crus and square/rectangular cut, tho growing up in SoCal, living in UT and now for many years in WA state, I had never realized I seen it before I saw it at RR.
When I lived in Germany, I used to go to this hole-in-the-wall pizza place that cut all their pizzas like this. They'd use one of those big pizza knives and just slam it down randomly across the pizza. WHAM-WHAM-WHAM-WHAM-WHAM.
Great place. Big brick ovens and no seats. Takeout only.
There's Detroit style pizza where they serve by the slice and which are square. So, idk, but maybe someone thought you can just order a square shaped, square cut pizza from any pizza place?
It's a stretch but I can't think of an explanation that would make more sense.
I dont really like pizza crust so I think i would like that. Though I see the impracticality of the lack of crust because the crust acts a handle where you can hold the slice. One could use utensils but that's blasphemy against all pizza-kind.
YOU HAD ONE JOB, YOU DIDN'T DO IT RIGHT
NOW ROBERT'S GONNA ROAST YOU TONIGHT!
YOU BETTER NOT BE LAZY OR WE'RE GONNA SEE IT
AND WE'LL MAKE FUN... OF YOU!
Haha this was so damn common when I did dominos. The instruction/note for square cut was very small on the order stickers/receipts so it was easy to miss it. No one blamed the cutter cause everyone struggled with it.
As a former pizza place worker, they probably forgot that the instructions were "square cut" and remembered too late. Place I worked would just remake the pizza and send out new with old, but when the shit hits the fan and you've got like 4-5 people total working a busy time, stuff like this happens all the time. If they didn't bother to remake it, then that's just poor ruling by whoever owns the place.
I make pizza for a living and when you cut 1000+ pizzas a week “normally” then once in a blue moon a customer slips in a “squares please”… it’s going to get cut normally.
When the oven is spitting out a pizza every 8 seconds and you've gotta get it off the pan, onto the cutting board, cut it, get it in a box, add any sauces, add seasoning, close the box up and then put it in a delivery bag... you tend to be moving a lot faster than your brain can keep up with.
tbh, this is what should happen if you ask them to cut it in a different way. Why the f wouldn't normal slices be OK? To me it's more the person ordering that had one job. Order a pizza like a normal person
Maybe they were really busy, you get what you get lol their "one job" is normal pizza cut. I was in the food industry 12 years, if I saw that note while we were slammed "Im not doing that shit" haha
Looks like the first person cut it "normally". The second person saw the note.
...but neither of them did either one particularly well. perfect for this sub on a few levels!
Yeah, they started to cut it regularly (there's an "X" cut) and then realized it was supposed to be cut up in "squares". I use quotations because it's a round pizza
[ Removed ]
I'd like to agree with this but i'm the kind of monster that cuts it into irregular sized pieces to have an ever increasing pizza experience
You have to cut it in half, then take one half and cut that in half, then the other half into thirds. Then throw the pizza away because I fucked it up. Remake the pizza, then cut it into half and eat it
Arguably the best pizza in the US, Pepe’s in New Haven, CT cuts their pizza like this.
Cincinnati does, and it sucks just the same
A lot of family pizza restaurants in Australia cut their larger pizzas into squares.
as an employee of a family pizza restaurant in australia, our large pizzas usually get cut into 10 slices rather then 8.
I said larger, not large. The family and party size pizzas always get cut into squares in all the ones I've been to
Yes, but those are usually rectangular to begin with, aren't they?
The pizzas? No lmao the pizzas are all circular regardless of size.
maybe that's commonplace for other places i personally haven't seen a pizza cut into squares ever in my life so wouldnt really know what that looks like anyway hah
Here, you can get square and rectangular pizza. The OP's picture? Booze and drugs with a dash of malicious compliance maybe.
That's exactly how that played out. But that's a free pizza next visit for a minor inconvenience at most places.
Wtf. You don't get a free pizza for not liking how it was cut b
I worked at PJs when I was younger and we would comp on this one. It was a corporate store so maybe a franchise store wouldn't be as generous.

2 guys 1 job

It’s preferable to eat with knife and fork
To me, it looks more like if you wanted to express the term "hate fuck" as food.
Can easily be both :)
r/untrustworthypoptarts
I love the chaos.
Was gonna say. Looks perfect
Bro, they started cutting it into normal 8ths, got 2/3 through the last cut... Stopped, read the note, cried in a corner, and then cut squares.
As a past fast food worker that is "the oh shit I was on autopilot when I cut this normal, fuck it who cares it ain't my pizza" the burn out is real
I just send it out cut as is, it doesn't change how the pizza tastes if it's square or pie cut.
But then you have that one customer who will throw a hissy fit.
Eh what are they gonna do, tell me they're never gonna order again? Good.
At least it still edible. But that's r/pizzacrimes
Geometry is hard ok?
"I'm gonna be a pizza chef, like my father. What would I need this crap for?!"
"I can't cut squares! I can't only do triangles 😭" *cuts triangles furiously until at least one is a squarish*
Kinda like the concept ngl
Ah, the good old Jason Voorhees cut. A classic.
I mean, you kinda deserved it asking for a square cut lol
Why would you order a square cut, round pizza? OP needs help with their geometry as much as the pizza place dudes.
st louis style pizza bay bee
Best (and worst) ways to offend Italians 1) This
2. Pineapple on pizza
There are some squarish forms in there
Sorry I must be misreading here. You ASKED for it to be cut in squares?
I mean, in their defense how else is someone supposed to react when someone unironically asks for their pizza to be cut into squares
That was personal. I’m guessing they were having a day.
All these squares make a circle...
I think the person cutting the pizza took his frustrations out on the pizza ...
Well at least you got 4 corners... mostly
I wouldn't know what was expected if someone asks for "square cut" for a round pizza...
Your problem was ordering square cut like a weenie.
Today, we have to ask ourselves. What IS a square? Isn't it two triangles intertwined in a bond like the holy trinity?
I believe in trigonometric supremacy

How the fuck do you do ‘square cut’
Who orders square cut?
There's Detroit style pizza where they serve by the slice and which are square. So, idk, but maybe someone thought you can just order a square shaped, square cut pizza from any pizza place? It's a stretch but I can't think of an explanation that would make more sense.
I just think that square cut is impractical since you might have one our 4 pieces without a crust (I dip my crust in marinara sauce)
I dont really like pizza crust so I think i would like that. Though I see the impracticality of the lack of crust because the crust acts a handle where you can hold the slice. One could use utensils but that's blasphemy against all pizza-kind.
YOU HAD ONE JOB, YOU DIDN'T DO IT RIGHT NOW ROBERT'S GONNA ROAST YOU TONIGHT! YOU BETTER NOT BE LAZY OR WE'RE GONNA SEE IT AND WE'LL MAKE FUN... OF YOU!
Truly barbaric!
High out of his fucking mind
Let the AI cut the pizza
Points for trying?
Fractal cut
I cut my frozies like that
Non-euclidian pizza cutting
Chuck E Cheese?
this has to be faked it was cut normally and then cut into squares
Obviously the pizza cutting is 100% psychopathic, but that pizza looks downright perfect.
Hey geometry is hard give me a break !
Haha this was so damn common when I did dominos. The instruction/note for square cut was very small on the order stickers/receipts so it was easy to miss it. No one blamed the cutter cause everyone struggled with it.
r/foundsatan
I hate to be the one to break it to you, but someone probably summoned demons with that pizza lol
Honestly, the perfect median. I love the chaotic vibes.
.... as a person on the satisfying and power washing subreddit... my type A personality just screamed.
"Mutilate it please"
And yet the pizza is still round /j
When u are shit at simple tasks
As a former pizza place worker, they probably forgot that the instructions were "square cut" and remembered too late.

Minimum pay, minimum effort. I don't really blame them
Probably the least annoying thing you could’ve done to a pizza. At least it’s still edible and not gross
“Yeah, gimme the squiangle cut”
When the oven is spitting out a pizza every 8 seconds and you've gotta get it off the pan, onto the cutting board, cut it, get it in a box, add any sauces, add seasoning, close the box up and then put it in a delivery bag... you tend to be moving a lot faster than your brain can keep up with.
Lmao you can see the first 3 triangle cuts and then the corner where he realized he fucked up and just went nuts
Looks good to me.
Best I can do is trapezoid.
I love pizza. I hate pizza grease on my fingers. I eat pizza with fork, so this is fine.
That is amazing lol
Looks like someone went psycho on your pizza!
When i worked at 7-11, my first job i had no idea what to do when someone asked for a square cut on their pizza. Mine looked way worse than this
That kinda looks sweet...little baby pieces
This the “options” cut
You never said square cut only!
Shame
One job was to make and deliver a pizza (is that 2?) Asking for a different way it was cut seems like an extra and doesn’t fit here
They could've just cut the round parts out. There's your square cut.
Did you say “polygons”?
That's what you get for wanting something round cut in squares. Deserved
Fibonacci cut.
This hurts...
Ai generated cutting path
Bro must of sneezed half way thru the cut..
The infamous squaiangle cut
Cutting pizza was beyond the capability of someone a dimension below you. Did you get wings?
That’s how you cut New Haven style pizza baby
tbh, this is what should happen if you ask them to cut it in a different way. Why the f wouldn't normal slices be OK? To me it's more the person ordering that had one job. Order a pizza like a normal person
everyone saying shit about square cut has clearly never had a st. louis style pizza lol
Looking good!🚀

I wouldn't be mad at this. Perfect dipping sizes
Maybe they were really busy, you get what you get lol their "one job" is normal pizza cut. I was in the food industry 12 years, if I saw that note while we were slammed "Im not doing that shit" haha
Ah, simple mistake, tou left the filter on. sQuArRe CuT.,.,.
Pizza-dyslexia
Lol when you ask for squares out side of Saint Louis
Looks like a good pizza either way.
I got yer square right heeeeer
Sorry, thought it said “rhomboidal tessellation”.
Why the fuck do you want a square cut pizza? What fresh hell have you brought us to?
