It's a new one on me. Ordered a pizza over the phone,
and heard the guy talking on the other line ... someone
wanted a large plain pizza, well done.

What does that mean? Burnt? To me, pizza is either
done or it isn't.

It means the bottom of the crust is more brown than the usual wet bread that
some pizza joints serve. It's not unusual. The pizza place I go to knows how
to handle it. Pizza Hut robot children may balk at the idea, though.

In our case, when we ask for it well done, we specify the crust.

I like well done. That means the cheese is starting to get that golden
brown that only lots of heat and caramelization can do.

It was probably code for a drug buy.

Okay, I got it. I was picturing blackened crust. It's thin
crust already, doesn't need burning! Thanks.

Pizza has improved quite a bit since I moved here ... I like making
pizza at home, but I don't have to anymore. Thinking back I can
remember when asking for well done might have been a good thing.

(laugh) That's what I think of some of the ads Jay Leno
reads on headlines. For sale, 1 orange, $5. Sure.

I've learned to ask for well done pizza when ordering it from a place
here in Cow Hill. The staff are originally from New Jersey (I don't
know if the Federal witness protection was involved in their decision
to relocate to rural Texas. I really don't know.) and their crust is
usually rather soft to my taste unless I ask them to make it well
done. It's a Neapolitan style thin crust pizza they do.

My "Best of Philly" pizza joint went to conveyor belt pizzas that were
rushed out under-done, to generate more business. I'd bring one home and
have to toss it in my oven to cook the toppings and crisp it up a little. I
dropped my allegiance to their pizzas after a few more under-done ones.

Nothing worse than picking up a slice or biting into a slice of pizza and
have all the toppings slide off. That probably has more to do with too much
oil.

Who wants to see pools of grease on a pizza. Well-done at least helps
"evaporate" some out, or so I'd like to think.

No, the grease has nothing to do with the cooking. The grease comes from
using lousy ingredients.

In high school we knew this guy who would sell weed when he delivered
pizza. You did have to really order a pizza, but then when he got
there you'd pay for the pizza, but you'd also buy the bag of weed.
Thinking back, it was a pretty nice combination.

Yeah, I ask for it "well done".

New York / New Jersey pizza is cooked soft enough so that
you can fold a slice axially and eat it like a churro.
If you're not into doing that order it well done.

Some people (including me) like some random charring
on the crust.

The ONLY time I will say well done on anything prepared in the kitchen
is a PERFECT souffle.

When it arrives at the table with all it's intended loft....I will
say...... WELL DONE!
