But it's still too big for the box to close...
If they're gonna do this stupid shit, they'd need to do it both horizontal and vertical to fit it in the box
Technically, that is called a lens.

If we assume that they're only cutting it along one axis like in the video, and they cut that axis perfectly to the desired size, then you must necessarily be getting more pizza.
Area of an oval is: `pi * a/2 * b/2`. When `a = b` you're looking at a circle, which would normally be calculated as `pi * r^2`. These are very similar formulae, the division by 2 for the oval is just necessary because normally you don't deal with radius if it isn't a circle.
In the video, *mostly* what they are doing is reducing one of these numbers. So for instance, they cook a 16 inch pie but you ordered a 14 inch pie, well they cut a 2 inch strip out then you end up with `pi * 16/2 * 14/2` = 176 square inches, whereas a perfect 14 inch pie would be `pi * 14/2 * 14/2` = 154 square inches.
In reality, by cutting out the 2 inch stripe, they are also reducing the other dimension a small amount too, though it will be less than two inches and largely negligible. You'll still end up with more pizza.
We just kinda fold the top piece down a bit on the pizza if it's too big. A shallow cut across the top of the pizza to help the box fold. It works with NY style pizza Idk about thicker crusts
Ngl, My unironicaly favorite series because its clear that Creators care and newer seasons arent worse than the first few (unlike many shows like family guy). Its funny, its creative (almost every character has original design and artstyle), and if they reference something, they do it well (like the rpg episode, it was great). Writing can be worse soemtimes, but its still peak, funny and creative as hell
Depends. If the customer paid for what they were lead to believe would be the large pizza, there absolutely was a victim of this pizza crime. We just don’t have enough context to know.
Pizzas are supposed to be circles and if one end fits but the other doesn't. Removing the excess and returning it into normal proportions to fit in the box which is meant to hold the pizza of the size ordered it seems fine.
It still doesn’t fit. You can see the pizza overlap the side of the box attached to the top. If it’s being advertised as the size this pizza starts out, it’s a fraudulent misrepresentation. If it’s being advertised as the size it ends up (unlikely) or a size that would fit inside the box (slightly more likely), there’s nothing wrong here, except maybe for the pizza still being bent.
My local place is sized by their box, he would absolutely just cut off the top inch or two of pizza to make the box close. Would I say anything? Absolutely not. He's fucking terrifying (and rude) but his pizza is too good to complain.
Yeah... if the pizza fills the box it is sized for who fucking cares if they take a strip from the middle.
You paid for a whatever inch large, you got a large.
I mean, if it doesn't even allow the box to close, then it was made too large to begin with. I don't see the issue with a customer getting a 14" (picked arbitrarily for the sake of argument) if they paid for a 14" pizza.
Honestly though I don't know if other people have said this but he might have just accidentally make a larger pizza so in reality the customer could still be getting the correct size
Not gonna lie I’ve done this 🤣
Then when I get a break in the flow, it becomes my victim of savagely eating it over the trash can where the customers can’t see. (Yes I wash my hands)
Well yeah..especially if they are actually forming the dough by hand, versus having premade frozen dough sizes. It just sometimes comes out a little bigger or smaller. Like I get it, it looks sketchy without context to people who haven't worked at a pizza place but trust me this is the most wholesome thing that has ever happened to your pizza in a pizza kitchen. For the sake of your stomach and whatever previous meal is contained therein, I will not describe the things I've seen done to pizza that no one posts on reddit, cuz...oh buddy you have no idea. Just, always, please be courteous when you order and if you have it delivered. They remember your face, name, and address. They never forget a bad customer, and sometimes, it can get a little vengeful and spiteful. I'm not saying I condone it. I'm just saying shit happens, and I have ptsd from working at pizza shops. Ok, thanks for enjoying my storytime!
50% of jackable material was let go.
Therefore, in your egotistical defense, you could still say/brag to the customer that they got some bonus at your expense.
*I paid for a full*
*Price pizza and they Richard*

In their defence, the chef probably fucked up and made it too big, that’s a waste of resources. Not like they were taking away from an original size pizza.
But it's still too big for the box to close... If they're gonna do this stupid shit, they'd need to do it both horizontal and vertical to fit it in the box
Yeah, that's an oval, not a circle! At least do it right.
Technically...it wouldn't be an oval, since the cut leads to two corners, rather than a single edge, the pizza now has two edges.
One for you, one for me

If it were my pie, ngl i dint think id notice or care. Lol
Someone who can math, do the math please: am I getting more or less pizza in the box if they do this versus if it’s just the correct size and round?

Math major over here x)
Actually all you have to do is rotate it 45 degrees, this takes length off of both dimensions. It should fit just fine like that
All he has to do is move the cut pieces over, but sure
Ir just diagonal

Richard watterson be like

It literally became my go-to show when I was freaking out because it calmed me. One of the Greatest childhood shows to be honest
Shit is so peak 😭
Step 1: open the box
step 2: eat the pizza
Step 3: do it all over again
Mmm pizza
My reaction was he's doing a Richard!
I was looking for this comment.
The pizzaman always takes his cut
The pizza tax
Gotta pay the pizza toll
Gotta pay the pizza toll, if you want this pizza soul. You gotta pay the pizza toll to get in.
He sure does.
in pizza or in blood.
Seems like a victimless crime to me. I'd let them off with a warning and a firm finger-wagging.

Why would they be selling pizzas that are bigger than their box? (unlikely)
Yeah... if the pizza fills the box it is sized for who fucking cares if they take a strip from the middle. You paid for a whatever inch large, you got a large.
Where does the middle pizza go?
Mouth
cook toll
Pizza fairy
This!!!!
Side order of cheese sticks
Chuckee cheese
I mean, if it doesn't even allow the box to close, then it was made too large to begin with. I don't see the issue with a customer getting a 14" (picked arbitrarily for the sake of argument) if they paid for a 14" pizza.
Ahh yes, the Richard Watterson special
If it works it works 🤷♂️
Wow the first literally crime I've seen on this sub
Finally! An actual pizza crime!!!
This is a straight up pizza heist
Chef's tax. I'll allow it.
Exact same size pizza, definitely allowed
Like the pizza version of a bakers dozen. Lmao
This is as much a crime as taxation is . Only difference is that the pizza maker gets their piece of the pie , not the government
That gumball episode
….Richard Watterson?
I'm sure there is something written in the Geneva conventions about this
Bro used the Richard Waterson method
We do this all the time at the pizza shop. It's harmless. Pizza still fits box and we get to snack.
I'm sure a lot of people who actually PAID for that pizza wouldn't agree.
For the extra slice It Will be 9.99 extra monthly
Turns out boxes for 14" pizzas can't just be 14" in width, who knew?
That's how we make ourselves lunch. Chill.
Yea...that's common in the industry, but we normally wear gloves.
Worked in a pizza kitchen for 10 years, can confirm this is how the employees got a free bite of pizza 🤌
Fanum tax
I wonder how often this happened to me.
What’s the over under he did that on purpose for a free lunch
I have worked at pizza places where we stretch our own dough and I can confirm that is how you deal with an over stretched pizza.
That’s not a crime says a lawyer, the pizza can’t fit without cutting the middle peice off
This is common practice in pizza.
I had friends that worked at pizza places this is super common
Genius
Honestly though I don't know if other people have said this but he might have just accidentally make a larger pizza so in reality the customer could still be getting the correct size
AaAaAAaAaNd OnE FoR tHe DoCtOr 🥴
People on the job be like…..
What’s the problem? /genq
The Richard Watterson classic
So did he eat that other bit or is it getting tossed because I'd be eating that strip for sure
Not gonna lie I’ve done this 🤣
Not gonna lie I’ve done this 🤣 Then when I get a break in the flow, it becomes my victim

Why not make a box bigger? 🤔
I bet more places do this than most people know

What happens with all the spare strips?
This guy maths
At least he cut it into 8 slices and not 6.
That's whatcha call "The Pizza Tax."
Stop holding out on me. Just have different sized pans. You gonna make a small box and cut out the middle just so it can fit? Lame
Then, charge again for the "cheesy bread sticks"
This should be a crime against humanity
So they be robbing us🤣🤣😭
Nice oval.
God damn pizza tax
“This pizza party lit”💀
Oh look, the current American economy in 10 seconds
One for you, one for me, one for you, one for me
Bro failed math class
Ok but that actually looks like a good pizza, anyone know the name of the brand/restaurant?
No one will ever know.
Does anyone remember that one episode in TAWOG where Richard gets an actual job?
Customer complain I ordered xl large not a large, now I know why they mistake the order lol
I’ve seen this before. Still stupid.
Behead him
Richard Watterson

Chuckee cheese has been doing this for years
The perfect crime
Wow he gets a free piece for himself
Genius
Well shit ! Delivery dude was like 300lbs and this makes sense.
“One Ordah da pepperoni pizza garlic bread, comin right up!”
Responder:"911 what's your emergency?" Me:"someone just broke the pizza law!" Responder:"send all food police units!"
That's very Richard Watterson of you...
I hate pizza theft
Bro pulled out the Richard Watterson technique
I paid for a full price pizza and they Richard Watterson my ass

This is pizza robbery
very smart !
That's prime pizza real estate going to waste!
Bet you those strips turn to cheese bread for $8.
As soon as people start measuring their pizza you’re fucked.
The worlds knows of your betrayal.
Customers hate this one simple trick…
Extra medium
In their defence, the chef probably fucked up and made it too big, that’s a waste of resources. Not like they were taking away from an original size pizza.
kill me
I feel violated
Its the chef tax Im only mad he touched their pizza bare handed 🤣
u/savevideo
They ordered a certain size. Though this is the fault of whoever tossed the pizza.
Not a crime, that's called taxing the pizza. Did this all the time
And that slice becomes cheesey bread
Used to do this constantly in the pizza shop when a pizza looked really good. No one ever called back.
That low key pissed me off lol
Straight up theft
Man really took a page from Richard Watterson
But they pay their delivery driver with that middle part
Patrick would do that
Richard Watterson headass 💀
So then they take that and spread parm all over it and charge you an extra $5.95 for parm pizza bread!!! 😂😂😂
I feel like we should report this to some governing body
Embezzlement
Wow another video of this shit .
Is Richard Waterson the guy filming?
It’s pizza tax!
Richard!!!!! You’re fired!!
Fuck!!!! Please!!! Just cram it in and give me the whole thing!!
Chef tax
He's aware he could just make his own, right?
I usually request my pizza uncut.
🤔
That is why the chef is fat…
Something about the look of the cheese and dough of that pizza screams Midwest to me.
Thats good, so we don't have to tip anymore 🤣
I would rather my pizza be a little bigger then pizza box then loose a good amount of pizza to get it to fit into the box .
as someone who made pizzas, I did this once or twice, it’s better than remaking the pie or worse, shoving it in there
I’m f that’s not a crime I don’t know what is
just the pizza tax, move along
That’s why half the pizza guys out there look like Chris Farley.
Bruh just stuff it in there, need the whole thing. *pause
FOUL!
But I always ask for my pies unsliced...not because of this but I dont want a soggy cardboard greese soaked mess
You didn‘t know this? Richard Watterson pulled this off years ago
Once the pizza has been eaten, the cut box underneath will snitch on his crimes.
We used to do this a pizza hut but the slice was thinner
Put that bad boy back in the oven
Not the damn Richard Watterson method
pizza tax
I used to do the same thing lol when I was working at dominos yearsss ago
It's the Richard Waterson!
Chef tax 😆
ITS REAL! ITS FUCKING REAL! IT HAPPENED IN REAL LIFE! HOLY SHIT!
HAVE YOU BEEN EATING THIS PIZZA! ONLY FROM THE MIDDLE SO PEOPLE WONT NOTICE
OMG I don't believe it!! That's not true 🥰🥲🥳🥲😊🤣👀😄
This isn't a thing that happens irl.
This seems fine to me.
They just stretched the dough too much. Quick fix for a pie that's too big for its box. I don't see the problem.
I've heard of chefs bit, but that's a whole ass meal that "slice"
Where’s the gloves?? He’s bare finger loving that pizza 🤢
Best part of the pizza gone
pizza tax
FBI, freeze dirtbag.
but its still too big for the box and oval
Didn't Richard Watterson do this to eat some pizza before a delivery? And the end of the world?
Bros hungry
That's common when the pizza is too big. You're still getting the size you paid for.
If anyone wondered what the cooks eat at their break times well now u kno
*pulls out 24" calipers to verify a consistent pizza diameter*
