The 11 Struggles Of Ordering Pizza With Another Human

Ordering pizza is always a good idea, unless you have to order it with other people.

Ordering pizza is always a good idea, unless you have to order it with other human beings. That is the absolute worst.

If you're lucky, you'll have found one or two people in your life who will share your pizza-ordering philosophy, but those kindred spirits are few and far between. More often that not, you'll be forced to share a pie with people who don't understand the greatness of pizza at all -- at least, not like you do. There will be someone who thinks that frozen pizza is just as good as coal-fired pizza -- they are wrong. Or someone who picks off the cheese and throws away the crust -- they are tossing the best part.

But all pickiness aside, there are some real issues that come up when ordering pizza. It's in this simple task that vegetarians and meat lovers truly butt heads and where all civility easily goes out the window. Here's who's ruining it for everyone.

Sometimes in four ways. It just gets to be too complicated after a whlie.
3
The meat lover.

Five pounds of meat on one pie is not the best way to make everyone happy.
4
The person who orders five toppings, even though they cost $2 a piece.

Dude, just order one of the specialty pizzas. It's a way better deal.
5
The guy who wants fresh garlic.

No one else wants to deal with all that garlic breath.
6
The way too experimental pizza orderer.

Mac and cheese pizza might sound like a good idea, but it never is. We promise.
7
The person who takes 45 minutes to decide what they want.

Don't they know it takes that long for the pizza to be delivered? We're going to starve!
8
The guy who insists on having banana peppers on half, but eats the other half instead.

No one else wants your banana peppers.
9
The person who orders EVERY. SINGLE. VEGGIE. TOPPING.

Please, just order a salad instead.
10
The guy who eats more than his share.

We know who you are.
