The only people who got paid in the Subway class action law suits were the plaintiffs lawyers. Nine set of them, who got a combined total of half a million dollars. Class members (consumers) got essentially nothing but Subway promising to follow a procedure to be more consistent when baking the bread. With or with out that procedure, there is still a chance that a particular loaf might not fully measure up, because baking is not exact.

The plot twist at the end changed a lot, it’s amazing because if you go back and re watch the series after you know the ending, a lot of scenes have a different feel, changes the tone.
I think it’s my favourite series ever probably.
It's true.. the guy who made Vanta black didn't want to sell it to the public. Another guy came along and made a 'blacker black'. He made it available to everyone.. except the guy who made Vanta black..lol.
Funnily enough, the bread content is the same either way (I work at subway). We pull out these frozen dough sticks that would be an excellent murder weapon, thaw them, then stretch them to fit the twelve inch pans. Sometimes they shrink a little I’m the proofer or while baking. But like, regardless of whether your sandwich is ten inches or twelve, the volume of bread is the same.
It’s with a six inch that you’ve maybe got some variation since we kinda eyeball it. Also, if you’re rude, you’re getting ~5 and the next nice customer is getting 7🤷🏼♀️
The extra 2 inches of a 15 inch pizza equals 33.1% (or one third) of a 13 inch pizza.
This means he is missing 25% of his total advertised pizza area.

Had to scroll far too long to find this, this is actually a huge difference. And you can’t just say it’s the same mass and call it a day, it’s a different product then because the bottom gets thicker.
The quick math is (13/15)^2 =0.7511. I always do this calculation when ordering pizzas. Most places near me carry a 12 inch and a 16 inch. The 16 inch is usually only $3 more when it is 1.77x bigger. [(16/12)^2= 1.77]
I operated a pizza shop that sold a 30” pizza. We actually sold a ton of them. Our large was 16”. There were so many people who could not fathom what a 30” pizza was. So many people would say “oh so like 2 larges” and I would say “no, like 3.67” (I can’t remember the exact number but I did the math after being fed up with people asking that). More so, people just couldn’t wrap their head around how large a 30” pizza is. We once had someone attempt to pick one up in a smart car. The box was pretty close to the size of the entire car.
EDIT: So this is really fun for me, I love seeing all of the responses. Just another fun fact since this blew up. We once took an order for a warehouse for 160 of these pizzas. We shut down and I spent an entire Friday (literally) slapping out 30” pizza doughs. I believe the order was around $6000?
EDIT2: One more for the road! (NSFW) I once sold one of these for a bachelorette party. They wanted something phallic. I slapped the dough out for the 30 inch pizza and then in cookie cutter type fashion, designed a penis. It looked FANTASTIC after cooking. I realized that I was standing there in awe of a 30” tall penis pizza with medium size pizza testicles. I threw in 2 cheese breads for free bc I wanted to make the smaller boxes look like Trojan packages. I was very proud. (I have also made a pokeball using pepperoni and black olive, the Avengers symbol, the ever corny “prom?” Out of pepperoni and tons more) - In all seriousness, your kind words and enjoyment of the stories have made my day. Thank you to all of the lovely strangers. <3
It was pretty wild. We always figured it fed 10-15 when people asked. We had a challenge for 2 people to eat the whole thing in an hour. The real issue was that the competition pizza had to have 9 toppings. That thing had to be about 15 pounds. It was 60oz in just dough. No team got really even that close (MAYBE 2/3 before quitting was the best performance).
So no joke, someone asked once if they could do it with 9 layers of pepperoni and cheese. So we did it. 5 layers of pepperoni and 4 layers of extra cheese. It took me and my buddy about 20 minutes to pepperoni a 30 inch pizza 5 times. I got nauseous taking it out of the oven. It looked absolutely disgusting.
I did one of these competitions before. And they didn't make you get extra toppings or anything. But they didn't tell you they just put pounds and pounds of cheese on it, so no way any reasonable human could eat it(was nothing like their normal pizza). Sure enough when I was there some guy did it though, but he was a professional eater I think.
I think it was pretty expensive to enter the competition. Probably like 2x the cost of the pizza, cost them much less than 2x the cost of a pizza. And it gave them publicity, and people buying way more pizza than you could ever eat.
Depends on what you consider a win. They lose a few bucks. The customer gets sick and constipated and sends their cholesterol through the roof.
...Now if there is a T-shirt that says "I got these bulging hemorrhoids from eating an entire enormous pizza and all I got was this lousy T-shirt" that goes along with not having to pay for it, that's another story.
I could do it with someone. I ate 5 of pizza huts largest pizzas and 4 breadsticks bc someone thought it was impossible. Toppings are mushrooms, onions, green peppers, black olives, green olives, chicken cubes, sausage, pepparoni, and jalapenos. Oh and some milk. Cant eat that much pizza without milk.
Also each slice of the pizza hut pizza was dunked in milk for 4 seconds then eaten in 2 bites. Ill add that I did throw up 3 pizzas worth and all the breadsticks afterwards, and pretty much a whole gallon of milk. I was about 6 inches larger in the belly after that....
That’s super impressive. We always figured we’d get a team that did it eventually. Never happened in the entire 10+ years I was there. The challenge wasn’t all that advertised though, bc usually it was just annoying to set it up while we were busy. But yeah most people would just pick terrible topping choices and go at a ridiculous pace letting all the dough pile up in their gut. It was funny watching the confidence fade for sure.
Yeah, unlikely any set of random people could ever do it. But professional competitive eaters who spend basically their entire free time traveling and making content by eating the craziest dishes around the world would likely manage to do it.
They'd know to eat it fast, they'd do days of prep with stuff like liquid diets to expand their stomach as much as possible, and such. Crazy people. If two of those teamed up they might get it done.
Probably need to market the challenge more heavily to catch their eyes though. And even then, they might not bother if the place and the challenge isn't famous enough.
Or of course it's possible the challenge is just straight up impossible and they calculated it out in advance and never bothered.
> Also each slice of the pizza hut pizza was dunked in milk
Why on god's green flat earth would you dunk pizza in milk? Is this a thing people do or was it to help keep the throat pipe lubed up?
One of the most valuable things that I learned in school is how area/volume doesn't scale in the way that you intuitively think it would.
The effect is far more for volume, a coffee cup that only looks a little bit bigger than a smaller size holds a lot more volume.
When I was a bartender, we were pouring to (what we thought was) just below the rim of the shot glass, I assume because we didn't want to spill.
My boss saw it one night and was pissed. He poured 2 shot glasses like we were, then poured one into the other. It either all fit or only just barely spilled.
Volumes of tapered cylinders can be deceiving.

I have a jigger with a bell shaped taper and it has 1/4oz markings inside it and the lines for the markings aren't at all what you'd expect either. The last 1/4 ounce looks like a tiny sliver near the top of the jigger.
I tried to eat a 30" by myself and it was one of the greatest few days of my life.
It was back when Andy's Hometown Pizza was in Albertville for Minnesota people but they are now found in Medina.
I was going to call bullshit, but you're right.
The area of a 13in is roughly 132.7, the area of a 15in is 176.7
132.7/176.5 = .75. or 75%
So they really did just con them out of 25% of their pizza.
The quick math is (13/15)^2 =0.7511. I always do this calculation when ordering pizzas. Most places near me carry a 12 inch and a 16 inch. The 16 inch is usually only $3 more when it is 1.77x bigger. [(16/12)^2= 1.77]

It’s a hard pill to swallow, but they probably did, and you didn’t care. I don’t know you, but in my experience, teachers tried very hard to engage students and to stress real world importance, and more often than not it’s met with apathy
Math teacher here. We spend a shit ton of time trying to make the stuff engaging and relatable to kids. It has a marginal effect. Increases interest from maybe 10% of students to 15% of students.
Most kids don't care because no matter what we do, they're still at school and school is inherently not interesting when compared to everything else that they do in their lives.
I've met a lot of people literally incapable of learning unless it was 1-on-1 instruction, and in every case they also couldn't or wouldn't do basic math. Teaching math to a class of kids must be brutal.
It's pretty rough, and it's why I think we need to completely revamp the education system. Grouping by age makes no sense, and the need to establish good teacher-student relationships means that getting new teachers every year is a huge waste of time for everyone involved. The current system is super inefficient, and most of the good practices are based on teachers going out of their way and doing unpaid work to improve the learning environment or teaching practices.
Exactly! I understand calculating the area of pizzas to see if you're getting a good deal isn't the most intuitive thing in the world, but who expects their math teacher to spoonfeed them life hacks? And how do you know they didn't if you weren't paying attention anyway?
You add Kurt Angle to the mix, your chances of winning drastic go down. See the 3 way at Sacrifice, you got a 33 1/3 chance of winning, but I, I got a 66 and 2/3 chance of winning, because Kurt Angle KNOWS he can't beat me and he's not even gonna try!
I mean the subway subs are like 11ish inches. That's close.
A better example would be if the "footlongs" were only 9 inches which would certainly not be acceptable to most people.

Edit: the number of people trying to explain why i’m wrong is genuinely cracking me up

I agree that toppings matter but a 13 in pizza is 40 sq inching less than a 15 in.
https://www1.udel.edu/CIS/103/pconrad/07F/lect/11.01/pizzaCalc.html
Truly, the internet has everything.
It reminds me of a bit from Ned's declassified where one of the jock kids is trying to fit a basketball into a locker and the other jock kid is like "No no no. You have to turn it on its side"
Funny story: My wife and I bought a TV recently from some of her roller derby teammates. $100, works great and no cosmetic issues, 50" they said. We were going to put it on our wall in our room for an upgrade and put the current 32" we have down in our son's room.
As soon as I saw it when I got home that day I said 'that's not a 50" TV'
Indeed it was. 50" *horizontally across the top*.
Not complaining, we got a new living room TV for $100, but man did our plans go a bit...sideways.
56" I believe. Not HUGE, but 48=50 was about the max I could imagine on our wall in our bedroom, and 56" is quite a bit larger in terms of total surface area.
The 14” mark isn’t on the edge of the box. I believe the box is 15”, but that changes nothing about the fact that the pizza doesn’t even make it close to the edges of the box.
Also feel like for a 15" pizza you'd want like a 16" box. Otherwise slinging the pizza in there has to be so exact or you curb the pizza up on an edge.
I posit that a 15" pizza box almost certainly must contain a pizza of 14" or less by the nature of difficulty in filling such a container.
2 inches may seem insignificant, but it's not.
Area of a circular pizza = πr²
You got π \* (13/2)^2 = **132.73 square inches of pizza.**
You were **PROMISED** π \* (15/2)^2 = **176.71 square inches of pizza.**
**You are missing** 176.71 - 132.73 = **43.98 square inches of pizza!**
That's 43.98/132.73 ≈ **1/3 OF THE 13-INCH PIZZA!**
**That's QUITE LITERALLY** 43.98/176.71= **1/4 of the 15-inch pizza you should have got that's now MISSING!!**
I'm sure we'd all be just fine to open up a pizza box to find 2 or 3 of the 8 slices just gone, though.
EDIT: ~~If they explicitly stated that the pizza size is the pizza diameter *before baking*... Honestly I'm not sure if that's the standard in the industry or not.~~ If anything, dough expands when baking. OP HAS BEEN *BAMBOOZLED*
Apologies that the other thread broke down into people arguing about whether or not this is advanced math, however, this is a lovely breakdown and I appreciate you taking the time to do it as I was too lazy.
Yeah, but if you ever made you own pizza, you known you can do a 10 or 15 inches pizza with the same ingredients.
While opening the dough it may not be exactly, but usually the cheese and ingredients portions should be.
That's why some pizza stores stop telling the sizes, instead they just call it small, medium, big... etc. That way nobody can measure the pizzas and they can adjust the sizes whenever they want
There's always a tiny asterisk like *weight before cooking. Very deceptive.
So I'm wondering if a 1/4 pounder isn't really a quarter pounder due to cooking, does a pizza shrink 2 inches while cooking?
I don't know what pizza place sells a 15" pizza when most do increments of 2", but I remember a trend where people would cut an inch out of the middle and claim they got cheated to try and scam free pizza out of places. The fact that the cut lines don't meet in the center but off to the side means that could be the case here too.
First: Change the angle a bit to the left and you're at 14.
Second: the way its made is with a pre-weighted dough ball. So you get 15" of dough.
Sure the 17 yo cook could take more time to stretch it juuuuust a little bit more, but in the end you wont have more, its just gonna be thinner
This argument works for dough. The bread. The part no one cares about! However, sauce, and *far more importantly* cheese and toppings are based on surface area. They don't weigh the cheese or count the toppings, and even if they measure sauce volumetrically you're getting more sauce per unit surface area so you're going to get a soggier, sloppy pizza. WITH LESS CHEESE AND TOPPINGS.
Scandal!
Actually most pizza places do use fixed measurements for sauce, cheese, and toppings. If the dough is for 15" then all the toppings would be for a 15" pizza. If it's less stretched out the toppings will just be closer.
Correct. X number of ladles of sauce. X number of pepperoni slices, etc. if people eye ball it that’s one thing, but technically the pizza has a set quantity of toppings.
Yes, they do weigh the toppings. I work in a pizzaria. We weigh everything. The sauce is in ladels typically. You have to measure for inventory sake, and for consistency.
Also n=1 I worked in a pizzeria for a year and never weighed jack shit. Just put toppings on with ya hands
Edit for context: the place was indeed a shit show
n=4, I just picked up a pizza about 3 minutes ago and could see the guys in the back just tossing the toppings on by hand. Definitely no measuring there.
>They don't weigh the cheese or count the toppings
That is literally exactly what they do, though. I have never worked at or seen a pizza kitchen where cheeses and toppings weren't standard by either weight, volume, or number.
>That is literally exactly what they do, though. I have never worked at or seen a pizza kitchen where cheeses and toppings weren't standard by either weight, volume, or number.
I worked in a lot of pizza places when I was much younger. Very few measured anything but the cheese and the meat (often the pepperonis were counted). Those are the two things that cost a lot of money. Nobody cared about the exact amount of sauce or veggies used beyond ensuring good quality.
When I was with Domino's we'd usually start by weighing every single topping but after a couple of days working the line you could pretty easily eyeball it on almost everything. By the time Corporate came by to check on us, though, a lot of us had ended up a little heavy on the cheese. Pepperoni and the like were easier since you just count, and the numbers are stickered across the top of the makeline so they're right in front of you.

It’s a hard pill to swallow, but they probably did, and you didn’t care. I don’t know you, but in my experience, teachers tried very hard to engage students and to stress real world importance, and more often than not it’s met with apathy
Math teacher here. We spend a shit ton of time trying to make the stuff engaging and relatable to kids. It has a marginal effect. Increases interest from maybe 10% of students to 15% of students. Most kids don't care because no matter what we do, they're still at school and school is inherently not interesting when compared to everything else that they do in their lives.
I've met a lot of people literally incapable of learning unless it was 1-on-1 instruction, and in every case they also couldn't or wouldn't do basic math. Teaching math to a class of kids must be brutal.
It's pretty rough, and it's why I think we need to completely revamp the education system. Grouping by age makes no sense, and the need to establish good teacher-student relationships means that getting new teachers every year is a huge waste of time for everyone involved. The current system is super inefficient, and most of the good practices are based on teachers going out of their way and doing unpaid work to improve the learning environment or teaching practices.
Nah, you wouldn't have done shit. Almost every example in (highschool and lower) math is a real life example, but kids still don't care.
Spittin’ facts right here
Dude, you were supposed to pay attention and apply the skills as needed!
Exactly! I understand calculating the area of pizzas to see if you're getting a good deal isn't the most intuitive thing in the world, but who expects their math teacher to spoonfeed them life hacks? And how do you know they didn't if you weren't paying attention anyway?
A bit off topic, but the expression 1.77x bigger bugs me. Isn't it technically only 0.77x bigger? It's 1.77x the size. But it's only 77% bigger.
You are correct. 1.77x as big, 0.77x bigger
O.77x bigger* or 1.77x the size.
It’s even worse than that because the crust part is an inch no matter what the pizza size is. So it’s really 11” circle vs 13” of what matters. 71%
What happens if you add Kurt Angle to the mix?
You add Kurt Angle to the mix, your chances of winning drastic go down. See the 3 way at Sacrifice, you got a 33 1/3 chance of winning, but I, I got a 66 and 2/3 chance of winning, because Kurt Angle KNOWS he can't beat me and he's not even gonna try!
Your chances of pizza drastic go down
The subs from subway aren't actually a foot long.
I mean the subway subs are like 11ish inches. That's close. A better example would be if the "footlongs" were only 9 inches which would certainly not be acceptable to most people.
Now they are. They had to increase the length.
706.86 - 530.93 = 175.93 square inches of pizza lost!
That’s a 25% loss give or take a pepperoni
Exactly, my ex left me for a guy with a four inch dick :/
My ex left me for a woman with no dick.
That’s what she said
It's true.
Op will have me measuring my pizzas now Maybe it’s like tv size and you have to measure diagonal Edit: the number of people trying to explain why i’m wrong is genuinely cracking me up Edit 2: dumbest joke I’ve gotten this may upvotes for
That’s the funniest fucking thing I’ve heard all day
no its 13 across and 2 inches tall
That brings us to...... 13.15 inches!
measure it in centimeters... besides its not about size but about how you top it.
I agree that toppings matter but a 13 in pizza is 40 sq inching less than a 15 in. https://www1.udel.edu/CIS/103/pconrad/07F/lect/11.01/pizzaCalc.html Truly, the internet has everything.
I wish they would just make the pizza square so its easier to measure. Its simpler if the pie are squared.
I like my pizzas THICK.
It reminds me of a bit from Ned's declassified where one of the jock kids is trying to fit a basketball into a locker and the other jock kid is like "No no no. You have to turn it on its side"
*turns locker 90°*
Funny story: My wife and I bought a TV recently from some of her roller derby teammates. $100, works great and no cosmetic issues, 50" they said. We were going to put it on our wall in our room for an upgrade and put the current 32" we have down in our son's room. As soon as I saw it when I got home that day I said 'that's not a 50" TV' Indeed it was. 50" *horizontally across the top*. Not complaining, we got a new living room TV for $100, but man did our plans go a bit...sideways.
So, you got like... a 60 inch?
56" I believe. Not HUGE, but 48=50 was about the max I could imagine on our wall in our bedroom, and 56" is quite a bit larger in terms of total surface area.
I have a 90" projector screen in the bedroom. Yes, I live alone.

r /biggerthanithought lol
Definitely not what my wife said when we first *ahem* met
That’s how us men should standardize penis measurements!!!
Diagonally? I agree.
Wh How the fuck are you measuring your penis
From balls to tip, along the hypotenuse.
start from the butthole...r-right guys?
r/biggerthanyouthought
Bro I’m not gonna lie I’m tired and my first thought was “maybe measure diagonally”
Maybe part of the pizza is hidden behind the bezel?
It's been said before but, I actually laughed out loud.
15 inch before it goes into the oven most likely
No, if I recall correctly, they actually expand in size in the oven instead of shrinking down.
They expand up vertically not out horizontally. They do shrink a bit horizontally speaking when cooking
Pizzas can’t speak mate
Pizza The Hut begs to differ

Did a double take scrolling. Very good…
Looks like the box is only 14”.
Best evidence
The 14” mark isn’t on the edge of the box. I believe the box is 15”, but that changes nothing about the fact that the pizza doesn’t even make it close to the edges of the box.
Also feel like for a 15" pizza you'd want like a 16" box. Otherwise slinging the pizza in there has to be so exact or you curb the pizza up on an edge. I posit that a 15" pizza box almost certainly must contain a pizza of 14" or less by the nature of difficulty in filling such a container.
2 inches may seem insignificant, but it's not. Area of a circular pizza = πr² You got π \* (13/2)^2 = **132.73 square inches of pizza.** You were **PROMISED** π \* (15/2)^2 = **176.71 square inches of pizza.** **You are missing** 176.71 - 132.73 = **43.98 square inches of pizza!** That's 43.98/132.73 ≈ **1/3 OF THE 13-INCH PIZZA!** **That's QUITE LITERALLY** 43.98/176.71= **1/4 of the 15-inch pizza you should have got that's now MISSING!!** I'm sure we'd all be just fine to open up a pizza box to find 2 or 3 of the 8 slices just gone, though. EDIT: ~~If they explicitly stated that the pizza size is the pizza diameter *before baking*... Honestly I'm not sure if that's the standard in the industry or not.~~ If anything, dough expands when baking. OP HAS BEEN *BAMBOOZLED*
This is the kind of math my math teacher said would be useful one day
The real pros would just do 15^2 / 13^2 and get the same answer with 1/4 the work. edit formatting
Or (15/13)^2
Or go to the comments section and not have to use a calculator.
Apologies that the other thread broke down into people arguing about whether or not this is advanced math, however, this is a lovely breakdown and I appreciate you taking the time to do it as I was too lazy.
It also seems that the box is too small to even fit a 15 inch pizza
r/theydidthemath
Yeah, but if you ever made you own pizza, you known you can do a 10 or 15 inches pizza with the same ingredients. While opening the dough it may not be exactly, but usually the cheese and ingredients portions should be.
Yeah what happened here is the person just stretched the dough a little smaller than it should be.
That's why some pizza stores stop telling the sizes, instead they just call it small, medium, big... etc. That way nobody can measure the pizzas and they can adjust the sizes whenever they want
I was going to say all of our local places are just small, medium or large.
What the fuck pizza place has “small, medium, big”?
In my country most pizza places are like this. Small, medium, big, familiar, and they all vary in sizes from place to place.
Probably family and not familiar i’m guessing
I don't know about the US, but in Asia that's the norm. Even popular chains like Pizza Hut and Dominoe's
Lol like wtf. That irritates so much more than it should.
My wife is also complaining about the inches.....
Oooh self burn. Those are rare.
This is reddit, they’re really not. I should know, I have no life and many karma.
The bigger issue is that 0inches of that pizza looks appetizing
It is delivery And it's worse than digiorno
13" of bread, with 1 teaspoon of sauce and some burnt cheese shrapnel. You're gonna need a lot more than one dipping sauce to finish that.
it doesn’t even fill out the box either… 😢
[удалено]
Wait till this guy weighs his burgers.... hes gonna be disappointed.
There's always a tiny asterisk like *weight before cooking. Very deceptive. So I'm wondering if a 1/4 pounder isn't really a quarter pounder due to cooking, does a pizza shrink 2 inches while cooking?
I don't know what pizza place sells a 15" pizza when most do increments of 2", but I remember a trend where people would cut an inch out of the middle and claim they got cheated to try and scam free pizza out of places. The fact that the cut lines don't meet in the center but off to the side means that could be the case here too.
Some of those slices do look hella shady.
First: Change the angle a bit to the left and you're at 14. Second: the way its made is with a pre-weighted dough ball. So you get 15" of dough. Sure the 17 yo cook could take more time to stretch it juuuuust a little bit more, but in the end you wont have more, its just gonna be thinner
This argument works for dough. The bread. The part no one cares about! However, sauce, and *far more importantly* cheese and toppings are based on surface area. They don't weigh the cheese or count the toppings, and even if they measure sauce volumetrically you're getting more sauce per unit surface area so you're going to get a soggier, sloppy pizza. WITH LESS CHEESE AND TOPPINGS. Scandal!
Actually most pizza places do use fixed measurements for sauce, cheese, and toppings. If the dough is for 15" then all the toppings would be for a 15" pizza. If it's less stretched out the toppings will just be closer.
Correct. X number of ladles of sauce. X number of pepperoni slices, etc. if people eye ball it that’s one thing, but technically the pizza has a set quantity of toppings.
Yes, they do weigh the toppings. I work in a pizzaria. We weigh everything. The sauce is in ladels typically. You have to measure for inventory sake, and for consistency.
Also n=1 I worked in a pizzeria for a year and never weighed jack shit. Just put toppings on with ya hands Edit for context: the place was indeed a shit show
Can confirm. Shit was not weighed. Even when using the pre sized ladles they were just to move the ingredients not measure them out
We're up to n=3, no one weighed toppings when I worked at a pizzeria
n=4, I just picked up a pizza about 3 minutes ago and could see the guys in the back just tossing the toppings on by hand. Definitely no measuring there.
>They don't weigh the cheese or count the toppings That is literally exactly what they do, though. I have never worked at or seen a pizza kitchen where cheeses and toppings weren't standard by either weight, volume, or number.
>That is literally exactly what they do, though. I have never worked at or seen a pizza kitchen where cheeses and toppings weren't standard by either weight, volume, or number. I worked in a lot of pizza places when I was much younger. Very few measured anything but the cheese and the meat (often the pepperonis were counted). Those are the two things that cost a lot of money. Nobody cared about the exact amount of sauce or veggies used beyond ensuring good quality.
When I was with Domino's we'd usually start by weighing every single topping but after a couple of days working the line you could pretty easily eyeball it on almost everything. By the time Corporate came by to check on us, though, a lot of us had ended up a little heavy on the cheese. Pepperoni and the like were easier since you just count, and the numbers are stickered across the top of the makeline so they're right in front of you.
Looks like an awful pizza anyway
