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.

Can I get an amen?

Its personal taste bro, if it takes 45 minutes to get too you, than without the bag it would be cold. Your choice.

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.

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?

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.

The problem of mechanised catering i suppose... Blame Mcdonalds!

The OP reads like a parody of overly pampered consumers who wouldn't survive for a day outside their current lifestyle.


Waaah! My pizza takes too long to get to me and it's HOT and I BURNED MY MOUTH because I'm too unobservant to notice!
PITY ME!

I love living in the west. We got our priorities right, yo.

Order the pizza one hour before you wish to eat Goldilocks, and it will be juuuust right.

(But don't fall asleep in the little bed or you will get humped by Daddy Bear! )

I get angry when my take away comes to me oven hot too....

Wait, I get the opposite feeling.

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...

Ah
Not a connosieur of pizzas.
The freezer ones I have had have been okay at worst.
Usually roast some veg though.

I can't either, but that's probably also because in my mind's eye Fitzz is Captain Spaulding, thanks to his avatar. The mental image of a psychotic redneck serial-killer clown managing a Pizza Hut... does not compute.

Anyhow, i never order pizza or whatever. But i would prefer my food really warm, then having the risk of recieving it cold.

Someone secretly won the thread....

As for FITZZ the Pizza Hut Mgr, i could see it as an early carrier choice. maybe before he was Cpt. Spaulding.
he was like Pvt. Spaulding, learning how to use high temp as a form of torture and mayhem. before moving on to bigger,
sharper things.

..Yes. my Pizza Hut Manager days were way back when I was Prvt. Spaulding...
It was actually sort of a goof, as I had no real desire to be a manager...( I was more interested in my band at the time), but I excelled at cooking ( if you want to call it that) and keeping the knuckle heads in line...so the duty was thrust upon me...
It was a bit of a hoot for a while, but I've obviously moved on to other things...sharper things...

I ordered from Domino's for dinner. It took an hour and 10 minutes to get to my house after he said it would be 20 minutes. The driver called me 7 times trying to find my house, after I finally got it he called again saying he lost that heating bag thing and told me to go outside and look (actually TOLD me) I told him I was having my dinner and hung up.



Last time I'm ordering from them.
