Now we all remember when the pizza companies came out with this whole big deal about a bag that they put the boxes in, it keeps the pizza hot so when you get it, its twice as good. I don't know about you guys, but when I order food, its because I am hungry and didn't want to cook. Now with that being said, I ordered a pizza, it takes them 45 mins to get it to me, and when it comes i have to wait for another 20 mins to be able to eat it and enjoy. The whole point to this is the sheer fact that some idiot a couple years back decided that a pizza should come out of a 10 thousand degree oven, be driven across town and be hotter than it was when they cooked the damn thing. Now I ask my fellow fat men and women who when they open up the pizza box take a slice and want to eat it, SHOULD WE REALLY HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER HALF A DAMN HOUR TO EAT IT? COME ON!!
I understand wanting hot food, I really do. What I don't get is why the hell does it have to burn the inside of your mouth, by just looking at it? I would be happy if maybe, just maybe, I order a damn pizza, and get it with in half an hour and I am able to eat it before i decide that I would rather just cook something before i am able to eat it.
Maybe its just me, but if you have enough time to cook a fully dressed turkey before your pizza cools to the point that you can eat it there is a HUGE problem. Where are my stonner brethren to lend me a hand on this topic? Its about half past 4:00, your starting to get hungry, you order a pizza with your last bit of money. You get it and eat it. After about 2 hours you realize you can't taste any thing and your mouth is burned and bloody. Come fight with me for this cause.
There is a difference between warm good pizza, and Burning hot can't taste anything for a week over cooked pizza. and I think it comes down to the carrying case that doesn't allow for the pizza to cool down on the drive. Think about it, you get a pizza, the cheese is just perfect. Nice and gooie, warm and ready to eat. THAT'S HOW IT SHOULD BE. Not this B.S of boiling cheese covering a some how hotter sauce, you bite down on the first slice and realize that the cheese has weldied it's self to the inside of your mouth. I don't know a whole lot about cheese... but I do know that cheese shouldn't be able to melt plastic, and it for damn sure shouldn't be boiling after its out of the oven.
Every one, this is a problem that we must all face head on and put an end to this! Pizza shouldn't be the ninth level of hell. It should feel like the first harp you hear right after getting past the golden gates. A greater man them my self has said that he had a dream, Well i have a dream too. It starts with the one thing, and it is the greatest thing we all could wish for. A pizza that when you get it, you can eat it. Better yet a company that realizes that its killing the taste buds of the people who just want to be lazy and enjoy.
Or you can just cruise over to the local Little Ceasers and drive your pizza home yourself.
Back in the days before the bag.... and in some cities this is still true.... They had a truck with a propane fired "warming oven" in the bed. It allowed for hot pizza to be delivered faster because it would finish cooking enroute. They also had a slightly wider delivery area.
I would rather get a pizza that's too hot than a pizza that's too cold.
No offense but this is possibly the single most ridiculous complaint I've ever seen on the internet, barring inane conspiracy theories and 2012 buffoonery.

What the hell?
I assume that this is because it is made in the same way I've observed them making pizza in Dominos. They have pre-prepared blobs of dough at the correct sizes to spin out the various sizes of pizza. I guess they weren't able to judge the size of dough they'd need to make a large. Kinda sad, when you think about it.

Many Pizza chains get their dough pre-prepped and frozen,boxes of disc messured small,medium, large..etc, these "dough disc" have to be panned and proofed ( allowed to thaw and rise) for a few hours before they can actually be used to make a pizza on.
So in all probability the place you were ordering from had either had a very busy day/night and had run out of all the proofed large dough they had on hand, now they could have always mashed a few medium disc together, but since the ovens are often calbrated to cook a pre-messured size at a set time, it may have come out over/under cooked...
I would have just given you a deal on two mediums...

This means that the pizza place your are ordering from sucks, since they're using pre-shaped frozen dough.
As to the OP, I guess the solution is plan ahead a little bit and don't wait until you're starving to order the pizza so that it has time to cool off by the time you reach maximum pizza craving.
Who are you ordering from? I don't have the experience you're having. I order from Domino's and their pizza arrives at just the right temperture. I haven't tried some of the other places around here though. Man... now I want pizza.
How difficult is it to buy pizzas from a supermarket and store them on the freezer. They take 20 minutes to cook and are immediately the right temperature for consumption. no waiting around so long sorted
edit: Don't store them on the freezer, they will defrost and spoil if not consumed before the time stated on the packaging. Much better to store them IN the freezer.
Most freezer pizza is kind of gross compared to the real deal though. It's fine if you're doing a pepperoni or sausage, but if you want veggies on it, then it is almost guaranteed to be gross. However, having that been said, the best freezer pizza I've ever had was the Shop 'n' Save house brand, Culinary Circle, of all the things. The rising crust is pretty good, and the veggies look/taste real.
Only problem is that means I have to go to Shop 'n' Save. :(
Also, OP's complaint is absurd. "I'm mad cause my food wasn't cold by the time it got to me?" Silly.

This. To quote a certain squid: "Seems to me this'd be a non-issue if you just bought your Sunday beer on Saturday."
But honestly I've never recieved a pizza that was too hot to eat immediately. Perhaps they don't have the same bags out here...

I buy from Pizza Hut, Domino's, Pizza Go Go and Papa John's and the pizza never arrives so hot you can't eat it, Domino's usually arrives the hottest and you can eat it after a minute or so with a little blowing. I'd much rather have a hot pizza that tastes like it just came out of the oven than some warm mess.

Frankly, we get a LOT of complaints about our take-away pizzas cooling down too quickly. I put this down to most people being used to their pizzas being at least an inch thick, whereas proper pizza should be about 1cm thick at most.

I've been to Pizza Express once and I have to say I much prefer all the major chains, PE is nice but I much prefer American style pizza, and that doesn't mean deep pan only. I actually love the Pizza Go Go thin crust, £9.99 for any super size pizza which is really "cheap" compared to most places, but that's because all the major chains are ridiculously expensive.
My goodness that's a recipe for a jippy tummy
British pizzas are an altogether more refined affair being topped with cucumber sarnies sans crusts and clotted cream teas
While it is difficult to wait for the cheese to cool, lest it all slide off on you as you seperate the slices, I would rather have the opportunity to select my optimum temperature, and therefore have it delivered hot.

It's the big thing now to make unhealthy/junk food more "healthy" by removing all the flavour. If I want a pizza I want it covered in cheese, smothered in toppings and full of taste. I tried one of those healthy pizzas before and it's like eating a flip flop.
For the Aussies, a flip flop is a thong.
You really don't want to get the two confused.
Wearing your knickers on your feet and your flips on your flops is both embarrassing, uncomfortable and likely to get you arrested, as I found out thus attired on Bondi Beach.
Luckily the cops had an inedible Biggest Loser pizza for lunch and made an impromptu pair of shorts out of it for me, thereby inventing beach shorts.
So complaining that Pizza is too hot? Whats next? Ice Cream to cold?
Stick the pieces you want to eat in the freezer, and count to 100. POOF! Through the magic of modern technology your pizza is cool enough to eat. Alot faster then waiting for 30 mins.
I have had my tongue stick to many a tub so eager was I to taste the delights of the creamy ice.

J.Black wrote:How is American style pizza different?
You work at Pizza Express and you don't know the difference between Italian and American style pizzas?
Seeing as we only make italian style pizzas, your comment is risible
From what I can gather, Italian style pizza (not the original truly Italian version, but the modern Italian Pizza which has taken cues from American Pizza) has a very thin bread and little to no crust.
The American Style Pizza tends to have thicker bread and crust, the crust is in fact often stuffed with melted mozzarella cheese itself. This varies between regions-- New York Pizza has a much thinner crust, while Chicago has the deep-dish variety, Detroit has a weird twice-baked variety with cheese all the way over the crust. Other places have other styles.
Here's an example of, for me, a normal homemade pizza:
The original Italian pizza was essentially just a piece of leavened bread with tomato sauce and cheese on it, along with other potential toppings. It was quite simple, really.

Giordano's Deep Dish Chicago Style Pizza is the best in the entire world.
I've has Chicago pizza a few times...and have to admit it's pretty damn spectacular...much better than that floppy NY mess, but for me....my favorite Pizza can be found right in New Orleans down on Rampart street....
I wish we had the pizza place I used to live near over the road rather than pizza hut - they had huge 15 and 17 inch pizzas which were awesome (nice chewy base, lots of cheese and sauce). Pizza hut is pretty meh. And I think they have changed how they cook their bases recently because they have started tasting really flour-y and bler.

I worked as a Pizza maker for 3 years at a local Pizza place in Baton Rouge. We made our own dough(3 batches) every day, but we still pre-shaped every morning(and throughout the day) to be able to make them faster.
So we COULD run out of Larges(it didn't happen much, because, y'know, 3 batches) on an exceedingly busy day(say the entire week after Katrina).

That's pretty interesting. I don't think a pizza place like the one you described would say that they were "out of larges" barring extreme cases like you just described, just because I don't see why it would be hard to combine a few smalls to make a large (once the larges started getting low, I understand that shaping and resting dough takes time) or simply have a batch of dough that isn't made up until one size starts running low.

Depends on how long the dough's been sitting. The smaller sizes could be combined as long as they haven't dried out too much(ie. they aren't from the first batch rolled in the morning), which kinda killed their elasticity. As I said, it didn't happen much, and the times it did, we were almost out of pizza dough anyway and down to sandwiches, salads, and wraps.
Most of the time, trends could be determined and we ended the day with extras of all 3 sizes.

It's not exactly easy to make your own dough and come up with an action plan for a given day to make sure that you're making enough or even too much.
That said, big +1 to Melissia and the stuffed crust meat lover's. My arteries say no, but my tummy says yes.
After a while you can project daily sales and prep and proof accordingly, I always went over projected by five..so there would be enough proofed dough on hand, but even then we'd run short at times.
Oh yeah, but what I'm saying is that large chains have already studied this sort of thing extensively so they have a wealth of knowledge at their disposal.
A smaller "mom and pop" operation might have a tougher time, that's all.

That's true enough, but even a small M&P operation can " get a feel" for ebb and flow after a while , much of it is knowing your area and factors that will effect sales ( sporting events, holidays, etc).
It may take a while, but even small operations can begin to project sales for a given week.

Yup, totally.
The trick is keeping your place open long enough to get that kind of data.

Papa John's actually recently started doing a stuffed crust and it's pretty good, it has a slight hint of garlic in the crust like Domino's, but not as powerful.
For me, regarding stuffed crust only it's Pizza Hut > Papa John's > Domino's. Pizza Hut just can't be beaten when it comes to specialty crusts, their stuffed crust and cheesy bites are to die for.
Heh, when I came home from Ireland I fancied a pizza, so I wandered up to the local Pizza Hut and ordered a farmhouse. I wanted to try stuffed crust, even though it was just me there and I'm not a big eater. So I ordered the 16". Woah. Lotta pizza. Of course, they have a "buy one, get one free" on all pizza that is collected, so I felt obligated to get a BBQ steak as well.
I ate pizza every meal for two days.
And yet, I could still go for a slice right now. The only cure for pizza overdose is more pizza.
I'm pretty hungry right now and all this pizza talk is cruel and unusual torture. I wish pizza wasn't so expensive in the UK or I'd have it a lot more often.

Ah, you're one of those people.
I'm sure the day will come when I no longer have the financial capability to spend gratuitous amounts of money on pizza, but until that day I will steer well clear of you riff-raff and your sub-par pizza chains.
Pizza wise, I mostly dont order. Go to some locale places or a place that apparently has a location in brooklyn (delicious coal pizzas, no delivery though!).
If I do order though, pizza hut. Most likely meat lovers. Stuff crust sometimes. Good enough to keep me satisfied while I spend all day playing video games or doing non important stuff
If I really feel like I'm gonna go cheap, I'll pick a few pizzas (either warm or frozen) from costco. I'm a simpleton, not Gordon Ramsey!
I weep for those who have never experienced the sheer awesomness that is Hungry Howie's Pizza. Because if you have, you wouldn't be talking about any other chains.
My main gripe with many pizza joints is that they place the toppings under the cheese. So instead of toasted meats and veggies to bring out their flavor you get burned cheese and raw vegetables.
If they're putting the toppings under the cheese, and the toppings are coming out raw, they're just using too much cheese
I really don't get all this 'flavoured crust' nonsense (and what in the name of feth is butter cheese?) either: If a pizzas main selling point is that the crust tastes of something, it's being made wrong.
I’m not a fan of the pizzas from the big chains like Dominoes and Pizza Hut. They never put enough topping, use cheap ingredients and are usually too greasy.
I like to make my own pizzas or buy from a local pizza place.

OTOH, the best pizzas all have crust which is delicious all by itself too, because the bread and the seasoning is so good. I love the (is it Greek-style) ones some good places do with a semi-crispy crust with sesame seeds. To die for.

It is a great book. A friend of mine gave it to me years and years ago; he loved it so much that he said "I have to give this to you, as long as you promise to read it and pass it on to another convert." The pizza deliery section at the beginning is just one of many great parts.
Have you read any of his other stuff? I love Cryptonomicon too; and I even found The Baroque Cycle worth the time investment.

Pah! Their anger toward teams from other cities is nothing compared to their anger toward their own teams. Or really anyone inside one of their stadiums. This is the City That Booed Santa.
It pleases me to know that the Vikings had a hand in making Philadelphia boo Santa.

Hey, you sit there and watch some (allegedly) drunk, skinny, nasty-looking Santa while sitting in the cold and snow watching your team lose a late season game that doesn't matter.... Hey You ARE a Minnesota fan... Now that you have NcNabb this can actually happen.
And Mann.... thats not always anger..... some of that is Pride.

After about 2 hours you realize you can't taste any thing and your mouth is burned and bloody. Come fight with me for this cause.

I keep looking at the Baroque Cycle--but it intimidates me--I'm afraid to get drawn into 8 or so books! I'll probably give it a go after this semester.
Give the first volume a go when you get some time. If it hooks you, it hooks you. For me I think where I got hooked was pretty early in, with Isaac Newton in college.

The whole argument between Pizza from New york and Brooklyn is an easy argument, I don't live in either place and have no need or want to drive 6 hours for a pizza, so they both suck, get over it.
Pizza from Mother Russia... What in the hell? I haven't heard of such a thing. What do you guys put on it?
Better yet what does any one put on their pizza? around here a classic is cream cheese and bacon. Ham and pineapple. Or all the meat you can eat. What about over seas, what do you guys put on your pizza? (over seas meaning out side the US of A)
Have you guys notice that pizza hut, for one of their toppings it actually says ham product. pizza hut using spam on their pizza is kinda gross.

Chicago Deep dish is the best pizza in the world. It's like a lasagna...on a sour dough crust. Pepperoni and Jalapenos is the gak.

It was a better time. A much more....innocent one. 'Twas the spring of 2010, and I was no more than a boy of twenty. My job of two years had grown tiresome and repetitive, so I sought further options. Those best friends of mine, Kyle and Trent their names, had begun work at the local Hut of Pizza. The job seemed simple and even a bit fun. I applied and was hired nigh on the spot. And so began my utter distaste for those round discs of bread, sauce, and cheese....
But seriously, after over a year there, I can't even stand the smell of pizza. And after 7 or so years in the service industry, I can't say I have much of a soul left.
Pizza should be a flat piece of tasty bread with sauce and topping on it. Once again America has turned a classic food into a marketable product. +1 for capitalism!

Back when I used to live with some mates we had this on-going competition, that anytime one of the junk food chains came out with a new food one of us had to eat it. Hungry Jack's (Burger King to everyone else) had some pretty foul stuff, especially that quad burger thing, but no company could compete with the foul crap that Domino's released.
There was the double base pizza, where you got a pizza with sauce, but with another base on top of that, then more sauce, then your ingredients, then your cheese. Then they did a similar thing with the double cheese pizza, where you got a layer of cheese sauce (we think it was, it was yellow and kind of smelled like cheese), then base, then more ingredients, then actual cheese.
That wasn't enough, though, and then Domino's released the triple cheese pizza. This had that cheese sauce stuff, then another base, then what we think was cream cheese (it was whiter than the other sauce, but it smelled the same), then another base, then ingredients, then some actual cheese. My unfortunate mate Southee ended up ordering this thing. When he picked up a piece cheese oozed out from every opening in the weird triple base thing, and it never stopped coming out. When he bit into it, he told us he chewed and chewed but the cheese never changed shape or texture.
He seems mostly the same, but for those of us that know, we can't help but see something different in the man. He talks more about dying, and what the good times used to be. And sometimes when we're all hanging out and the laughter dies down you can see a look in his eyes, like wants to back, to a time before triple cheese pizza.

That amazing pizza pie has been pizza for what, four or five times longer than Britain has even had pizza? You guys didn't get pizza delivery service until at least the 80s, did you?
Seriously though, it's amazing. It's the same ingredients as other pizzas, just in somewhat different proportions and shape. Don't knock it until you've tried it. Seriously.

Now with that being said, I ordered a pizza, it takes them 45 mins to get it to me, and when it comes i have to wait for another 20 mins to be able to eat it and enjoy. The whole point to this is the sheer fact that some idiot a couple years back decided that a pizza should come out of a 10 thousand degree oven, be driven across town and be hotter than it was when they cooked the damn thing. Now I ask my fellow fat men and women who when they open up the pizza box take a slice and want to eat it, SHOULD WE REALLY HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER HALF A DAMN HOUR TO EAT IT? COME ON!!
Since I live in a tiny stupid country, and in the middle of nowhere in that tiny stupid country we have no big pizza chain companies like Pizza Hut or Dominos here. What we do have is a small local Italian restaurant, run by an actual Italian! He makes some of the best pizzas ever. <3

It was invented by the Chicago Mob. You gonna mess with Al Capone?
I can see the creamcheese and bacon. I sometimes get a toasted bagel with creamcheese and bacon and thats pretty good. My gf introduced it to me a few years ago.
A lot of the mom and pop pizza shops in my area have an interesting twist to their pizza sauce. There is a tiny hint of curry in it. It's not too bad, but could be better if they had better crust or toppings.

If the opened up a MOS Burger (Japanese fast food chain) around here, I would eat there all day every day until I finally died of terrible, terrible cardiovascular disease. So good.

You should see what they've done to it in the UK, it's jut heart breaking. I hadn't had a Big Mac in like 4 years, I opened the box ready to go to work and..... it was like 1/3 of the size, I couldn't believe my eyes, at first I thought it was a joke or something but my friends said "Nah, that's just how they are now" and sure enough, they were right. A quick Google search shows I wasn't just imagining things.
I once bet a friend that I could eat 6 big macs in an hour. I won the bet but lost the war, as the gastrointestinal consequences I faced from the act were, to put it lightly, brutal.
Not a huge Big Mac fan, tend to stick with the Quarter Pounder w/ Cheese when I hit McDonalds...
Overall however I prefer The Whopper, just taste better IMO..
...Arby's though, burn that slop pit to the ground...nastiest fast food ever.

There used to be a Wendy's in Stafford. Not sure if it is there any more as I've not been there in a few years. May also be a different chain with the same name?
Replying to OP, it might just be a matter of personal taste. I personally like to have everything I eat warm be super hot. I think over time after my mouth peeled a few layers off it started getting somewhat heat resistant, or at least that's what I think. Many of my family members don't see how I eat things as hot as I do.
The best part of living in America, we have fast food out the butt, but we can never make up our minds on where we are eating at. And personally i like cold food or room temp food. It comes from when i used to use a certain drug that makes you hungry. But hey I still think we need to get up in arms about pizza that burns and maims.
Medium of Death wrote:Moving on to something else completely, the greatest excuse I had from a pizza place was 'We are out of LARGE DOUGH...'
What the hell?
Many Pizza chains get their dough pre-prepped and frozen,boxes of disc messured small,medium, large..etc, these "dough disc" have to be panned and proofed ( allowed to thaw and rise) for a few hours before they can actually be used to make a pizza on.
So in all probability the place you were ordering from had either had a very busy day/night and had run out of all the proofed large dough they had on hand, now they could have always mashed a few medium disc together, but since the ovens are often calbrated to cook a pre-messured size at a set time, it may have come out over/under cooked...
I would have just given you a deal on two mediums...
...Yes, I was a manager at a Pizza Hut many years ago.

So, this thread went from being about 1) delivery pizza being too hot to 2) different types of chain pizza to 3) different awesome local pizza joints to 4) really bad fast food options to 5) cheese wiz
I've come to the conclusion that the OP's pizza was too hot, because he had cheese wiz as a topping.
No pizza is ever too hot to eat. I will brave turning the entire roof of my mouth into one giant blister if it gets me that molten cheesy goodness one second faster.
No...everything can be to hot to eat. I have some weird quirk with my stomach, that if something is even remotely hot, it feels like I swallowed a friggin glowing hot lump of steel. And it hurts for a good 3 seconds. So yea...warmishlyhot? Thats how I like it. And that new word is fun to say out loud as well. I want it warmishlyhot. Rolls off the tongue
If we're talking general quality fast food, it's all about Five Guys Burgers and Fries. Heck, when I first encountered them on a trip to a GT I wrote a whole section on them in my GT report:
The lunch break was the high point of the drive. This place called Five Guys Burgers and Fries we stopped at right along the highway. Four something for a hamburger, but what they mean by a hamburger is two big patties smothered with mushrooms, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, mustard, ketchup, mayo, and optionally a list of about eight or ten other things you can get for no extra charge. I did pay a little extra for bacon on mine, because anything worth doing is worth overdoing. Combine this with them dumping a giant scoop of peanut-oil cooked fries in your bag, more than you can possibly eat, and you have a meal fit for a king or a wargamer. I didn't even eat dinner that night. Beer held me fine.
I wish I could eat at Five Guys but for whatever reason they insist on cooking with peanut oil and I'm allergic to peanuts, and while highly refined peanut oil doesn't actually contain any of the protein that triggers allergic reactions (or so I've read, but it's definitely got something to do with how it's prepared), not all peanut oil is thus refined, so I'm not gonna take the risk. :(
Coolyo294 wrote:The fries at Five Guys are the best I've ever had.
I haven't even heard of the place and I know it's good, it would be awfully unfortunate if you had peanut allergies though considering they cook everything in peanut oil, then you couldn't have any of there wonderful
See, this thread is why I get my pizza from local pizza places, not chains. Seriously, they tend to be sooo much better: fresher ingredients, better customer service, nicer accommodations if you choose to eat in, and as a plus, cute chicks serving the pizza. :O
Looks like I'll be stepping into the unknown for dinner tonight, I just got a leaflet from "Pizza Espressa" whoever they are and they're offering any pizza, any size for £9.95. Fingers crossed it doesn't taste like ass.

As far has I know pizza hut will bring you a pizza if you pay for it no matter what color your skin is. The fact of the matter is, this problem plagues every one that has the freedom and the money to order pizza ( or any other take out.) This post was posted just for a laugh and to get a ideas going about food. And yet one person has found a way to turn hot pizza into a race thing.
Around here, we used to have a big ass stoner pie pizza, It was a 36 inch pizza with chicken tenders, french fries, meat, cheese sticks, and i always added pine apple. The worlds greatest pizza. I have been wondering what kinda screwed up toppings do you people put on your pizza. I am hoping for people from over seas to give some ideas. I know Canadians put Canadian beacon on theirs but what about the brits? Woooooo, how about our friends in Japan? Do you guys have an eel pizza? or a tuna Pizza? I gotta know.

The lunch break was the high point of the drive. This place called Five Guys Burgers and Fries we stopped at right along the highway. Four something for a hamburger, but what they mean by a hamburger is two big patties smothered with mushrooms, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, mustard, ketchup, mayo, and optionally a list of about eight or ten other things you can get for no extra charge. I did pay a little extra for bacon on mine, because anything worth doing is worth overdoing. Combine this with them dumping a giant scoop of peanut-oil cooked fries in your bag, more than you can possibly eat, and you have a meal fit for a king or a wargamer. I didn't even eat dinner that night. Beer held me fine.
There a five guys being built about 15 minutes away from here in the spring. Ive never heard of them until my cousin told me about them......and Ive heard they are easily the most fantastic place ever. So.....I need to pump up the workout routine to make up for the heart attack Im going to give myself

Hmm, I'm not sure that we put anything on our pizzas that you guys can't get over there... Donner meat? Do you get that? It's good on a pizza, especially with a gakload of Garlic sauce.

I don't think i have ever heard of Donner meat... I have heard of the Donor party... the group that ate each other in the mountains back in the 1800's. Is it the same meat? If so i think i would have to try that.
Five guys burgers suck... I go to a gas station that serves better burgers than five guys. Smash burger is ok, but over priced. Here in Kansas we have a place called local burger, you can order buffalo and elk burgers, but i have never tried it.
I would just like to say, again, that no pizza is EVER too hot. Blisters on the roof of your mouth are just a small price to pay for cheesy goodness, all true men know this from birth.
