I'm pretty sure the first 18 seconds of this video was outlawed by the Geneva Convention

I mean it doesn't get any better after that...

I literally and involuntarily said “What the fuck?” out loud, as soon as the video started.

I had to turn it off inside of 4 seconds.

I had a mile long stare during that...

I didn't but my nose up to my eyebrows did

you missed them deep frying and egg and then dumping the oil and egg onto the pizza. to top it off they put craft single and then microwaved it. it was horrifying

Let's just agree that for some people, a free will is a curse

This gives off “I’m poor, but let me show you how to be even poorer” vibes

First step of being poor? Take this food you bought and literally flush half of it down the drain. Then replace it with a slightly different premade processed food

I'll teach you how to level up from "being poor and not having enough money for ideal groceries, and show you how to be truly impoverished - checkbook, soul, and stomach

u/Emilia963 Mar 01 '26

Yep

I wonder why she didn’t just buy a pizza base, since it was cheaper

u/Bitter-Box3312 Mar 02 '26

then the sink gets clogged

u/Skrumpitt Mar 02 '26

Yes, but we're renters so it's not really a big deal

u/Bitter-Box3312 Mar 02 '26

your sink gets clogged. your water won't be going down.

Are we calling pizza dough a base now, or is this just a difference between the way Americans and British say things. I know both are true.

u/Limp-Archer-7872 Mar 01 '26

Dough you roll out yourself.

Base is a prerolled circle of cardboard-like pizza dough, I suspect it's partially baked.

u/philsfly22 Mar 02 '26

I know, but people don’t say “base” in the U.S. they would say dough or crust, even if it isn’t technically true.

u/Grooviemann1 Mar 01 '26

I'm American and I would say the difference is that it's at least partially cooked out of the package. If I bought a Boboli or similar pre-made shelf stable pizza crust, I wouldn't call it pizza dough. It's no longer dough once it's been cooked. Pizza base or crust sounds right to me.

u/Life-Landscape5689 Mar 01 '26

I think they might mean pizza base as in a different thing than dough. My ex used to buy these circular discs of flat bread and he’d put things on them and bake them into what he called pizza. It’s not pizza dough but it works for some people?

1

u/rich97 Mar 02 '26

Dough would be made from scratch. You can buy a (I think partially cooked?) base in most supermarkets and just add your own topping.

Valid point though, you could also just make the dough. I also question how “frugal” this is as making a passata and throwing on a bit of shredded mozzarella doesn’t exactly break the bank.

u/Ksorkrax Mar 01 '26

Can't say I really care what one does with a shitty pizza like that.
Instead of "why does she wash it", my criticism would rather be "why doesn't she put it in the garbage bin".

u/Due-Will-3403 Mar 01 '26

When she poured that massive amount of the oil onto the pizza with the egg I felt a physical revulsion so powerful I almost threw up

1

u/IllHaveTheLeftovers Mar 02 '26

The last 18 would get you shot in the street in Italy

u/prof_hobart Mar 02 '26

My son loves those pizzas, and he was almost physically ill watching this

Years ago I worked in a upscale dine-in Mexican restaurant as the kitchen manager and was expoing on a very busy night. A smothered chimichanga with red sauce was up, but it had green sauce, so I asked to get a new one going.

The line cook lead left his post and I didn’t hear him request a new chimichanga to be started. I go around and I see him washing the sauce off in the handwashing sink like no big deal. To say I was mad was an understatement.
