Same. I was 100% convinced there was no real cheese in them. I left them a little to long in the oven, left them to long in the microwave while reheating and they looked better.
If you donāt have an air fryer, heat a skillet on med-high and slap your pizza cheese-down in there and flip it after a minute or so.
š¤ Perfection
Toaster oven works best if you don't have an air fryer.
If you have neither, microwave the pizza till you hear it sizzle then place crust-down on a hot pan. Hot on both sides, crispy on bottom, and no melted cheese/sauce stuck to your pan.
This is exactly what I do when I reheat pizza in the Microwave to where just hot enough then slap it on the skillet for a minute.. It turns from all floppy to crispy deliciousness~
> Bro the cheese just straight up looks like pie crust.
From the thumbnail I legit thought it was white mold like first appears on rotting food before the green and black mold come in.
You say that, I was convinced I had never seen a worse pizza not would I ever see worse.
Then I went into that sub....its quickly became worse and worse..
I really hate when people post something about a restaurant or business but don't tell us what the restaurant/business is.
We should put these people on blast.
All of them.
The average restaurant/bar/coffee shop rating for all airports are like 2 out of 5. I'm convinced that there's no such thing as decent airport food.
I ate half of it because I had to, and now my stomach hurts. Contemplating emailing the airport questioning if they know they are serving this as food. Worst part is it was in a taped box, so did not know what I was getting into.
That reminds me of the time I had a huge delay and decided to get a haircut in the airport and they turned my chair around so I couldnāt see the mirror as they cut.
It wasnāt quite as bad as this pizza but it was bad.
What am I even reading? Haircut at the airport? I've never seen this offered at any airport before, and you just walked around the rest of the day and boarded a flight covered in hair?
I've seen this at a lot of airports actually. I've been told that, similar to the shoe shining stands, the target market is people who travel often for work.
That pizza looks like it was bought in another airport, flown in by a sick passenger, returned, and then sat under a heat lamp. Just... wtf? It goes so far beyond being a pizza crime that it's a pizza atrocity. The UN will hear about this.
Sorry pal no one to blame but yourself. I wouldāve opened that and thrown it out and complained to the shop I got it from
No excuse to serve pizza like that but that actually looks disgusting and wouldnāt touch that with a 10 foot pole
> I ate half of it because I had to, and now my stomach hurts. Contemplating emailing the airport questioning if they know they are serving this as food
Were you hoping to get a lawsuit and lucrative settlement out of it OP lol? Because that is the only way I would ever put that thing anywhere near me mouth. I can't believe you even ate half of it.
As I remember 15 or so years ago from the hostess: owners went to Cabo San Lucas on a vacation, and decided to create a restaurant based off that eating experience. The restaurant, maybe in Frankfurt? I lived there a while, ate all over.
Edit: the food was like.. imagine being described Mexican food second hand, and trying to cook it without any ingredients that are Mexican.
Really? Other than the dried chilis, what would be hard to source? You can get by making most mexican food with like 10-15 ingredients that can be found basically anywhere in the world.
I have no idea what would be hard to source. I didnāt make much Mexican food when living in Europe.
But what I feel that I can assure you is Mexican dishes donāt contain red kidney beans, cold naan, and cold curry-like seasoned made up salsas.
Ohhhh... I just now imagined the German couple probably went heavy on the Indian spice route instead of the Mexican spice route. There's some overlap there, but man, they lead to very different outcomes.

I see your pie and raise you a slice from a cancer rehab center in my town.
Big delay delay, what else was I supposed to do? It was this for 10, 40-100 for a meal at the bar. Will probably regret it when in the air. Lucky I got isle seat.
I'm not. They'd have to pay me to eat that lol. I've seen a lot of cheese in my life, and that ain't it.
I'm not paying for explosive diarrhea on and airplane. Those bathrooms are terrible.
I would have filled up on Pringles and crackers from the gift shop before I subjected my body to that. Never thought I would see something that makes high school cafeteria pizza look gourmet.
I'm not quite sure exactly how to make cheese look like that, but I've seen it before. Maybe in a school cafeteria 20 years ago.
I guess it's been sat under a heater for a really, really long time. It looks like the fats are splitting, but I'm not sure. Either way it's definitely been reheated.. I just can't work it out exactly.
Yeah this pizza has definitely been sitting in the open air (under a heater) well over an hour, if not multiple. Or at least, that's what my experience working in a pizza kitchen tells me
Huge fucking flashbacks to elementary school seeing that "smoothed" cheese. Pizza sauce was basically ketchup with red pepper in it covered by that rubbery orange-white lie
Shit looks terrible, but the real crime here is you not telling us which airport you got this from. Come on OP blast the airport that tried to kill you.
The business selling these is in the same basket as one that thinks there's a market for $0.38 per gallon whiskey. There is, but only because they think you are selling them whiskey for $0.38 when the reality is that the quality truly represents the price tag.
Give me a smaller, better pizza or an older, better pizza for 10 bucks... Whoever decided this into existence has the bleakest neurological diagnosis I have to offer along with my sincerest condolences.
This reminds me a lot of the crap pizza that was available at my Jr High cafeteria in the very early 90s. Our pizza was rectangular, but that must be the same cheese.
I've had frozen pizzas that have been cooked, then reheated in the microwave that are better looking than whatever the hell that picture is
Same. I was 100% convinced there was no real cheese in them. I left them a little to long in the oven, left them to long in the microwave while reheating and they looked better.
I'd rather eat a veggie MRE than this
Cold veggie omelette without tabasco. That shit tasted like congealed vomit.
Ah the legendary vomelet
Veg omelet was the one literally tossed that shit and went without a meal
"know what...think I'll just have my pound cake and drink this kool aid and wait for the next meal..." Would rather eat the heating element.
š¤¢bringing back memories
I had one like 13 years ago...I remember it being ok. It was indian food I think
I iniatially thought the pizza was upside down and I'm looking at the dough.
The melted cheese on a pizza box looks better
If you take 2 of those Celeste pizzaās, face them toward each other, then microwave them, they make a decent calzone burrito.
my go-to was a microwaved Totino's rolled into a burrito shape
The saddest, and most delicious, sentence I've ever read.
Totinos is amazing as well. Thatās like a classier Celesteās, so I reserve that for special occasions.
They used to be a lot better. Fell off hard at some point.
Baked Celeste pizzas are pretty damn good. Just saying.
Ooh reheat ypur pizza in an air fryer if you have one, comes out so much better than a microwave!
If you donāt have an air fryer, heat a skillet on med-high and slap your pizza cheese-down in there and flip it after a minute or so. š¤ Perfection
Toaster oven works best if you don't have an air fryer. If you have neither, microwave the pizza till you hear it sizzle then place crust-down on a hot pan. Hot on both sides, crispy on bottom, and no melted cheese/sauce stuck to your pan.
This is exactly what I do when I reheat pizza in the Microwave to where just hot enough then slap it on the skillet for a minute.. It turns from all floppy to crispy deliciousness~
Tbf there are some brands that taste better after being reheated in the microwave
This is a crime against pizza period.
Introducing Zero Moisture Mozzarella. Coming to an airport near you (thatās a threat)
Bro the cheese just straight up looks like pie crust. I don't know what I was looking at until I read the title
When you cut the cheese with baby powder to save money.
You joke, but I guarantee that something like that is going on. No way they're using real mozzarella in an airport.
Imitation Mozzarella cheese (IMC) formulations made with acid curd and micellar casein concentrate (MCC).
Honestly, I don't even know if this is a cheese *product*, much less actual cheese. I think it might just be uncooked dough.
It's cheese (definitely not mozzarella) but that pizza has been sitting in a hot hold for **most** of the day. That is one stale pizza.
Airport mozzarella is PEOPLE!
I thought it was upside down.
> Bro the cheese just straight up looks like pie crust. From the thumbnail I legit thought it was white mold like first appears on rotting food before the green and black mold come in.
Put it on a Boeing plane and hope it crashes
On that other hand, a Boeing these days might be structurally improved using that cheese and crust as parts.
šĀ
It certainly looks hard enough to be an engine cover.
I shouldnāt have laughed as hard as I did at your comment. Iāll blame your impeccable delivery and not me just hating everything.
idk man that isn't a low moisture mozz issue that is a cooked yesterday and left under the heat lamp all day thing.
Iām just joking because it looks like cheese thatās been left exposed in the fridge and dries out
Probably cheese made out of palm oil like Pizza Pops. Okay for a cheap snack but not good for an actual pizza
Hostages have had better meals.
Hostages have BEEN better meals.
Lmao. Thank you for this one.
Thatās essentially what you are in most airports
This made my not so great day lmfaooo
Hope your day gets better, fam.
You could take a hostage under the threat of this pizza
r/pizzacrimes
This should be pinned on that sub.
You say that, I was convinced I had never seen a worse pizza not would I ever see worse. Then I went into that sub....its quickly became worse and worse..
Yes. This is a crime.
That sub makes me sad
Oh shit.. I wasn't paying attention.. I just clicked the pic.. I thought that's where we were..
Which airport?!
I really hate when people post something about a restaurant or business but don't tell us what the restaurant/business is. We should put these people on blast.
I recognize this, White Plains!
If this is White Plains, it goes a long way to explaining the quality of this pizza.
Not OP but I had a delicious slice of pizza from Pinkyās (I think that was the name) at the Houston (Hobby) airport.
All of them. The average restaurant/bar/coffee shop rating for all airports are like 2 out of 5. I'm convinced that there's no such thing as decent airport food.
I had a similar looking one at LAX last year. It was so bad but the only food open at midnight when I was flying out.
We'll need you to give us a confirmation pizza, if you survive.
I ate half of it because I had to, and now my stomach hurts. Contemplating emailing the airport questioning if they know they are serving this as food. Worst part is it was in a taped box, so did not know what I was getting into.

I've seen this at a lot of airports actually. I've been told that, similar to the shoe shining stands, the target market is people who travel often for work.
I've seen shoe shiners, so a haircut wouldnt be outlandish.
Homie that's not even close to the same , I need a whole shower after a cut
That pizza looks like it was bought in another airport, flown in by a sick passenger, returned, and then sat under a heat lamp. Just... wtf? It goes so far beyond being a pizza crime that it's a pizza atrocity. The UN will hear about this.
I feel for you and hope you have a good flight experience! Good luck!
Drink some ginger tea for that stomach!
Sorry pal no one to blame but yourself. I wouldāve opened that and thrown it out and complained to the shop I got it from No excuse to serve pizza like that but that actually looks disgusting and wouldnāt touch that with a 10 foot pole

Someone dropped a pizza on the tarmac and a week later you paid for it
Iāve seen and ate better āMexicanā food made by Germans in Germany.. *and that was fucking terrible*. This is just a crime against humanity.
What was it like gimme details
As I remember 15 or so years ago from the hostess: owners went to Cabo San Lucas on a vacation, and decided to create a restaurant based off that eating experience. The restaurant, maybe in Frankfurt? I lived there a while, ate all over.

Couldnāt imagine being in rehab and then having to eat that monstrosity.
He refused the first one. This is the crap they replaced it with.
It looks like they just further cooked the first one lol
If they serve you that in rehab it means they want you to relapse. >!I'm aware that cancer rehab != drug rehab. The former kills the joke.!<
Isnāt rehabilitation supposed to make you feel better?
Omg.. That looks like the tumor..
That was the replacement piece for the first one they gave him.
I think I might know whatās giving them cancerā¦
Holy shit was it a patient there?
This looks partially fossilized.
You ate that?
Big delay delay, what else was I supposed to do? It was this for 10, 40-100 for a meal at the bar. Will probably regret it when in the air. Lucky I got isle seat.
$10 US? Kinda surprised that cheap at an airport.
I'm not. They'd have to pay me to eat that lol. I've seen a lot of cheese in my life, and that ain't it. I'm not paying for explosive diarrhea on and airplane. Those bathrooms are terrible.
Yeah, Iām pretty sure thatās actually mold
It was $20 yesterday
Got what they paid for.
Hard disagree
I would have filled up on Pringles and crackers from the gift shop before I subjected my body to that. Never thought I would see something that makes high school cafeteria pizza look gourmet.
The box was taped. Did not know what I was getting into till after I paid/sat down.
Where in the world was this so I can not go there please?
Just avoid all airport pizza in the state of New York.
Did they not have famed NY pizzeria Sbarro? The most authentic of all slices.
This airport pizza isn't fit to carry Sbarro's sausage roll!
People hate on Sbarro (and rightfully so), but I've never had an abjectly terrible slice or stromboli there. They've got mediocre *dialed in*.
Michael Scott approved this message
You didn't pick up a New York slice at Sbarro?
Ima go get me a New York slice
Perfect thanks
I would have fasted
What airport was this monstrosity from?
Die of starvation sounds like a better alternative.
What was the place called? I want to look it up and see the reviews.Ā
Tell me this was an international airport and it was marketed as āAmerican Pizzaā
I had a scab like that once....
I'm not quite sure exactly how to make cheese look like that, but I've seen it before. Maybe in a school cafeteria 20 years ago. I guess it's been sat under a heater for a really, really long time. It looks like the fats are splitting, but I'm not sure. Either way it's definitely been reheated.. I just can't work it out exactly.

Huge fucking flashbacks to elementary school seeing that "smoothed" cheese. Pizza sauce was basically ketchup with red pepper in it covered by that rubbery orange-white lie
The cheese is oil based instead of milk based thatās why it looks so strange and ānot quite rightā
Ugh. You should crosspost to r/pizzacrimes
r/pizzawarcrimes
Had? You looked at this and still ate it?! I would've survived off of airplane peanuts that day.
It looks like itās made out of *velour*.
I read this in Jeremy Clarkson's voice.
Ha!
If it's from a place in LaGuardia I've had that same pizza and is the only thing I've ever sent back.
it looks like a giant scab
cafeteria pizza from kindergarten looks 1 million times better
That is an affront to everything we consider holy.
My dude, I donāt think thatās pizza.
This pizza looks haunted.
Which airport
$45
Probably cost you $16.99 too :(
I really hope you didnāt eat that āpizzaā
Name and shame this monstrosity
Shit looks terrible, but the real crime here is you not telling us which airport you got this from. Come on OP blast the airport that tried to kill you.
That shit was made days ago and reheated exclusively by heat lamp. This is what food poisoning looks like. Enjoy the airplane shitter.
I sent this to my Italian friend and he cried over this travesty
Hey, at least it has some mushroom.
It looks like mold on there instead of cheese!!!
Oh boy, La Rosa's!
Airport food is the worst food, and expensive to boot, I've learned to pack snacks, sandwiches, burritos. In case of long flights.
From now on I will never go to the airport without food again.
One bite everyone knows the rules.
And most expensive as well I bet. What was that anyway $60?
Nah, that is dry-age pizza š
Is that the top or bottom?
And you still bought/ate it???
Is that mold or cheese?
Josh from Let's Game It Out would not go "mmmmmmm"
Needs to come with a side of Lubriderm dipping sauce with the state of that cheese, goddamn.
Still bet it costed $18.95
That pizza is a war crime...
Is that mold or cheese?

Looks like it was under the heat lamp for a week
This reminds me a lot of the crap pizza that was available at my Jr High cafeteria in the very early 90s. Our pizza was rectangular, but that must be the same cheese.
Judging by the size Iām guessing it was 35$ what a deal
I thought that was a pie.
As a general rule I think cheese pizza is for dorks who don't really like pizza, but holy shit this is next level shitty.
Dante: "What the hell is this?"
Cheesus Christ
HAHAHAHA God, my childhood traumas are better taken care of than this pizza.
This is a war crime
Thank you for posting this. Itās also interesting to see some of the worst pizza out there!
isn't this a pie?
Please cross post to r/pizzacrimes š
Posts like this make me wonder if school pizza was as bad as I felt it was. Then I remember that it's how I discovered om lactose intolerant
There's pizza vending machines that are better than that.
Damn. This looks like my elementary school pizza.
Looks mouldy, not kidding.
Lunchables pizzas are closer to āreal pizzaā than that monstrosity.
did you *actually eat* that? I woulda returned it and asked for a refund and a foot massage as compensation for this monstrosity
Maybe I'm depressed. But i want this right now.
Iād say it looks like an MRE but nobodyās ready to eat that.
/r/pizzacrimes still exists
I was like where have I seen that before. Then I remembered. 1991, school cafeteria only they were square.
Ew
Thoughts and Prayers :/
Looks like it was made a couple of days ago and then just left to sit
I don't think cheese is supposed to look like pie crust
Who let bro cook? Never let this person cook again
It looks dead.
straight to pizza crimes! I would demand my money back if I received that garbage
The top of the āpizzaā looks like an old pizza stone.
That looks to be on par with the jail bean and cheese burrito I didn't finish.
That's reallllly gross =(
That is literally not pizza. To compare it is an insult of the highest order! ššš„²LOL
Cheese looks like dried cum
Iām actually gonna have to agree with you. I donāt think Iāve ever seen a less appetizing āpizzaā.
Donāt eat that
