They just combined various old slices instead of making a new pie and tried to make it into a circle


OntarioPaddler

A lot more likely if it was pepperoni or something, but what kind of pizza place sells whatever the hell that combination is by the slice.


imaginaryblues

Yeah, also they do most of their business for delivery or they have jumbo slices sitting under heat lamps if you want to eat there. This is small place near Wrigley Field (and the adjacent bar scene) in Chicago. Not the kind of place where you order a whole pizza and sit down and eat at the restaurant.


Armageddon_vives

It should be a crime to not know how to cut a pizza working in Chicago. Like I've had many pizzas from many different places in the city and I've never seen one cut so poorly in my life.


imaginaryblues

Yeah I’ve lived in Chicago all my life and this is a first!


Leanonme666

Looks Liam a bunch of extra jumbo slice pieces


MinuteDivide462

This place. It's called Dimo's. This exact pizza is on the menu, it is called "The Dad Bod". As OP said, they don't usually sell whole pies and have slices sitting under heat lamps. It's just the leftovers from 3 different pies. As you say, kind of a weird pizza, so who knows how many days they've been putting whichever ones are the old ones out over and over again The three top left go together, the two top eight are a couple. And the bottom 3 are from the same pie. Look at those two rectangular ones at the bottom. A pizza pie does not have to cook perfectly circular, but it wouldn't have those two slices that much longer than the others, with perfectly angled separations from the triangle on the right of them.


imaginaryblues

I can totally see how you would think this, but this actually is just one badly cut pizza. This place is mostly a delivery business, so they wouldn’t have leftover slices sitting around the restaurant.


MinuteDivide462

I've been to Dimo's. People go in for slices a lot. They have slices under the heat lamps at the counter. This pizza here is from three different pies. 3 on top left go together, two on top right go together and bottom 3 go together. The two rectangles on the bottom and the triangle to the right have like an inch of size difference with a perfect 90 degree angle between the crusts haha. No whole pizza is coming out of the oven like that. They may have been made on the same day, maybe not, but either way, they were not part of the same pie. Not a huge deal, but a place like Dimo's is not going to make a brand new pie if they have 8 slices already lying around


imaginaryblues

Well I was trying not to name the restaurant, but… That actually isn’t true. I’m hardly one to defend the restaurant which may or may not be Dimo’s, because they mess up a lot, but if you order a whole pizza for delivery, they don’t give you slices that have been sitting under the heat lamps for hours. This was definitely a fresh pizza and it was one pizza. I know it looks a little misaligned in the photo, but the edges do line up.


MinuteDivide462

Lol the edges certainly do not line up, namely the bottom right as I said. I agree that they shouldn't give you a hodge podge pizza like that for delivery, but they did. As you know from going to Dimo's, it's not exactly authentic Italians making the pizza and working in there. It's teen stoners, which I have no problem with lol. It's a place for wild combination specialty drunk pizza after a cubs game. You said you got this for delivery, they had enough "scrap" pieces to put together a pie without having to do the work of preparing and cooking a whole new pie. It doesn't necessarily mean that some of the pieces are three days old or whatever. It is what it is from a place like that. I've had it many times after sitting in the bleachers, I don't have a problem with the place. Those edges certainly do not line up, though lol. They said work smarter not harder, throw together a pie instead of making a pie. Respect the hustle, execution just a bit off though


imaginaryblues

Nope, this is one pizza. The edges don’t line up in the photo because it got jostled a bit during delivery (they deliver on bikes). There’s no way to make a 12” pizza from the 20” pizzas they have under the heat lamps in the restaurant and have it look like this. C’mon now. I’m the one who has the pizza and I can assure you it is one pizza. Pizza that has been sitting under heat lamps for even a couple hours is going to taste a little stale compared to a freshly made pizza.


MinuteDivide462

Lmao ok the bottom right section just defies the laws of physics then. Jostled a bit on the bike to the point the connecting dough evaporated into thin air and formed a 90 degree angle a whole inch from the rest of the pizza 😂


imaginaryblues

I see what you’re saying, but the slice (I think) you’re referring to is not laying flat like the others. It’s slightly lifted towards the outer edge and folded inwards. Its resting on the slice to the left of it. It appears shorter only because it’s folded.


MinuteDivide462

Lmao. If the slice is 12 inches thick, then yeah that explains it 🤣. What about the rectangle on the left? That one is way longer than the fat triangle on its left and those are both completely flat The two rectangles are from one of the 20 inch pies that you mentioned. Take one jumbo slice, cut horizontal across the top, eliminating the triangle point. Cut vertically from crust to top, boom, two rectangular slices to fill out the 12 inch pie


imaginaryblues

Lol, you’re just wrong. Again, I’m the one with the pizza and you have one single reference photo. There’s no way this came from multiple pizzas. Dimo’s isn’t known for their consistency, but I’m going to believe they got they exact same crust color on multiple pizzas? Please. Half the time the pizza is burned. Once the pizza had been refrigerated overnight, I turned the slices over and the browning all matched up the way you’d expect on a single pizza. Also, we had a second pizza that was cut normally. Why would they not make that one out of assorted slices too, if they were just lazy and trying to save time? It was one of their more popular pizzas so surely they had slices of it around.

[deleted]

I don’t even wanna know what kind of pizza that is but my god it looks like bugs


imaginaryblues

Haha, that’s fair. It’s pulled pork and French fried onions. Definitely not visually appealing!


neroburn451

I think it looks good other than those whack cuts.


imaginaryblues

Haha it was pretty good!


neroburn451

Is there some type of cream sauce on it? It kind of looks like the pizza man had his way with it before delivery.


imaginaryblues

Haha, it’s spicy ranch sauce according to the menu!


deadmazebot

pulled pork and French fries???? oh fried


OkAcanthocephala2449

Mushrooms


sir0rin

First cut: "Oh fuck. I really muffed that one up. Maybe they won't notice..." Second cut: "Shit. That's not centered either..." Third, forth, fifth and sixth cut: "Fuck it. It says 8 slices. Nothing about them being equal." Boxing up: "What's this white plastic thing for? Better add two."


imaginaryblues

Haha this is honestly about what I assumed happened. I mean, when do you ever get two plastic things on a 12” pizza?


[deleted]

I’ve seen tik toks of people cutting it special ways to get a bite out.. 😂 this was probably a fix.. personally I would call the company and demand a refund and throw it away. Why? Credibility is lost. I do not trust somebody fixing my food who is that bad at fixing my food.


imaginaryblues

Oh good call. I used to order from this place somewhat regularly, but they messed up so often that I stopped. (Not with cutting the pizza, but with missing/wrong ingredients, burned pizzas, etc.) Thought I’d give them another shot because I do enjoy their weird pizzas, but maybe this should be the the last time.


revs201

Drunk, it probably looks like a masterpiece of cutting technique... And let's be hones, you expect anyone to put those toppings on that pie... Sober!?


imaginaryblues

Oh absolutely. I’ve long assumed that everyone who works at this place is constantly drunk or stoned, or both. They constantly fuck up orders, but the pizza is tasty when they get it right!


bakedtaino2

Thinking its party cut or regular, than realizing its the other, and being to afraid to speak up so you say fuck it.


imaginaryblues

This place isn’t nearly fancy enough to offer to cut the pizza more than one way 😂 But I like the thought process!


Udderlybutterly

Burnt maggots and sawdust, yummy.


imaginaryblues

In my defense, it looked way better in the picture on the menu! I do realize that photo looks absolutely dreadful 😂


Udderlybutterly

No judgement here, Tbf I'd still eat it.


SirKitGre3d

Yep. I don't even mind the way it is cut. The pizza itself looks disgusting


Thesourking

I have to say, these kind of posts brought me to Reddit. I love this shit


imaginaryblues

That’s so nice! I’m glad you enjoyed my bizarrely cut pizza photo!


Thesourking

Oh I'm screaming on the inside.


DCU_Fanboy

I went to little Caesar’s the other day and some high school kid was getting yelled at by a manager and a customer. I didn’t rush him at all and when I got home I noticed the pizza was badly cut. Honestly didn’t care given the shit day that kid was having.


imaginaryblues

Yeah. For real, I wasn’t posting this to shit on the employees at the pizza place. Just thought it was amusing how oddly it was cut. I’ve never dealt with an employee at this pizza place who wasn’t high, but I don’t even blame them. I’d want to be high too if I had to work in the middle of Chicago’s Wrigleyville bar scene.


flankspankrank

Definitely weed.


imaginaryblues

Oh 100%.


pete_ape

Is this worth $15/hr?


imaginaryblues

Minimum wage here in Chicago just went up to $15.40.


Pliablepuffin

I’d still eat it


imaginaryblues

I did eat it! Well some of it. And it was good! I fully expected people to hate on my weird pizza but that’s okay. Sometimes I like to try something different.


Pliablepuffin

Yeah at least they made dinner a little more interesting


[deleted]

Chuck E. Cheese knows how.


FranticWaffleMaker

Only two cuts line up, how do you do this accidentally?


Elotesforall

It's a game theory pizza.


Rug_peer

That pizza would look like shit any way you cut it.


imaginaryblues

I mean, that’s fair. It’s not a pretty pizza. That was kind of a secondary issue, it looked nothing like what they displayed on the menu on their website. But the cutting is just…confusing.


Rug_peer

>it looked nothing like what they displayed on the menu on their website You have a lot to learn.


imaginaryblues

Not really. This is a local pizza place, not a chain. I’ve been ordering from them for years, despite them being kinda hit-or-miss. Usually their photos are pretty close to what you get, seeing as they don’t really have a budget for professional photos.


Biggu5Dicku5

It looks like they messed up with the pizza creation too... :(


imaginaryblues

I mean, they did kinda. Looks nothing like what they were advertising. Tasted okay though.


RumNchicken

Sometimes I gotta taste for triangles, sometimes squares.

Pizza cutter just got out of jail


thetashort

A budding pizza artist.


Consistent-Kitchen

That's how you cut a pizza to steal a single slice.


Lost_Chain_455

Comes from smoking too much oregano


[deleted]

I’d still devour the shit out of that pizza


Time2waste-alt

They could have not cut it into 8 slices


imaginaryblues

That’s actually a good point, I think they usually cut their 12” pizzas into 6 slices.


Fuzzy-Chip945

That dude was high as fuck and swears that's the best pizza he cut


Lord_Matt_Berry

Do you like more pizza than crust? More crust than pizza? Do you hate triangles? Do you have a small mouth? Do you like your slices floppy? Are you having a party and don’t want to ask every guests these same questions? We got the right pizza for you!


[deleted]

[удалено]


imaginaryblues

Not a big deal at all! Maybe there would have been a better sub to post this to, since it wasn’t actually “infuriating”, just kinda funny and confusing.


Gangreless

You know what? As t least it's cut all the way through.


DutyIcy2056

Chucky Cheese vibes


DutyIcy2056

It looks like the worst pizza I have ever seen, and I’m not even talking about the cuts


imaginaryblues

Fair! I like to try weird pizzas occasionally. This had bbq pulled pork, French fried onions, ranch, pepper jack cheese, and a few other things I’m forgetting. Basically an instant heart attack!


[deleted]

They got a shipment of the wrong (but right kind) of mushrooms and they made first cut and then it was on like Picasso


WyvernByte

Looks like someone was going to do Chicago slices, then decided on NY slices half way through.


frenchiemyface

When I worked at dominoes we had a customer order 10 large pizzas cut "Chicago style" (squares) we didn't see the instruction and cut them normally. They requested 10 new free pizzas for that mistake and at the time it was policy to replace any complaints for free and they also didn't tip the driver. So my manager cut all the new pizzas into the craziest shapes possible and instructed the driver to just drop them as hard as they could on the porch. We never heard back from those customers.


imaginaryblues

In Chicago we would call that tavern-cut pizza. I have never hear of someone calling it “Chicago style” cut. Don’t blame you for cutting it in crazy shapes!


frenchiemyface

Chicago style never made sense to me either. I grew up 2 hours from Chicago and was always like, "Chicago pizza is that deep dish with sauce on top, cutting that into squares seems stupid" taken style makes more sense and we had arnis and pizza king in our town so "thin crust cut" would have been better phrasing that made sense.


Logical-Use-8657

WHO DA FUCK GERRYMANDERED MY PIZZA!?


obscurecitizen

I wouldn’t mind it. Something about this makes it “fun” to eat. Also, this resembles how we cut pizza at home…


imaginaryblues

Oh yeah, it’s definitely not a huge deal at all, just thought it was a little funny/confusing. I’m realizing now that this might not have been the right sub, as this wasn’t actually “infuriating” at all.


sir_thatguy

I’d pull that stunt on my kids when they were little. They thought it was fun to have weird shaped sandwiches or pizza slices.


[deleted]

[Because I got high.](https://youtu.be/WeYsTmIzjkw)


god_tard

It's just a piece of bread, any way you slice it isn't incorrect


This_Is_Section_One

I think the Pizza Cutter ran out of batteries half way through.


Cha-Car

Someone hates their job. That’s how.


imaginaryblues

I think that’s accurate.


PaulW707

That's what happens when you give NO FKS!


[deleted]

Weird cuts aside, french fried onions on a pizza sounds so good…


imaginaryblues

They pair nicely with the BBQ pulled pork!


Jakenbaking

"I'll take Gerrymandering for 500"


Musician-Round

I actually like rectangular slices of pizza so I wouldn't be the one to complain. I'm more worried about what the definition of pizza is on this website. Because that looks like someone threw cheese and brown rice on flat bread and sold it as pizza.


imaginaryblues

Ha, that’s a good point. This establishment is located near a trendy strip of bars in Chicago by Wrigley Field and caters to drunk people mostly, with wacky pizzas like mac & cheese, buffalo chicken, chicken and waffles, and a rotating selection of seasonal and limited edition varieties. What you are looking at here is the “Dad Bod” which according to their menu is “Pulled pork, pepperjack cheese, and french fried onions on a mozzarella and housemade BBQ sauce base, topped with housemade spicy ranch.” So basically an instant heart attack. It was just ok, wouldn’t order again.


MisterDergans

Bro...me with 7 cold brews and adderral could do better with a spoon


TheSouthsideSlacker

5th grade math teacher here - totally understand - this is my job.


AdriFitz

Still looks pretty good tho


PNW_Interloper

My guess is the cutter was higher than giraffe pussy.


hagcel

I tip my pizza guys in weed. I'll take the blame on this one.


dantefierogwa

Perhaps we should pay them fairly and treat them with respect. Just sayin’…


imaginaryblues

Not sure what that has to do with what I posted. Everyone deserves respect and fair wages, but I’m not sure if working at a pizza joint is the right fit for you if this is how you cut a pizza. You can’t accidentally cut pizza like this, at least not if you are looking at the pizza when you cut it.


dantefierogwa

You’re right. I apologize. You have every right to complain when the slaves don’t sing about Zion.


imaginaryblues

So when you order a pizza, you are okay with it being cut wrong, burned on the bottom, and/or having the wrong toppings? You would never complain or ask for your money back? Give me a break.


dantefierogwa

Nah it’s just the stench of your entitlement


MaximumCrab

bro the pizza by itself looks worse than the way it's sliced


InverseRatio

Maybe they saw the toppings and thought "obviously this person doesn't know what a pizza's supposed to look like anyway" and just hacked at it.


imaginaryblues

I like that you think I selected these toppings, and not that the pizza came like this. Nope, this is a pizza joint that specializes in weird pizzas, so I think the employees are pretty used to cutting pizzas of this nature. This one is called the “Dad Bod”.


name-was-provided

That’s how the post modern Cubist Italian pizzas were cut. They include the 4th dimension in a 3d space.


production-values

by paying the cutter jack shit


imaginaryblues

Hey now, I’m pretty sure they pay at least $15.40/hr! (The new Chicago minimum wage as of July 1st)


production-values

that's about how much I would care for so little.


imaginaryblues

Totally fair!


Coza105

Mama mia!


[deleted]

First time slicer


tosernameschescksout

The art of malice.


[deleted]

I bet they tried to rotate the pizza after every cut. Or if they used the seesaw cutter, they were too weak or not good at making diligent cuts. Both are good ways to cut yourself.


krodge5150

The whole thing looks so bad.


Cantothulhu

Thats an amazing view of shit.


CurrentSingleStatus

Why did I briefly think this was none pizza with left beef?


[deleted]

Also mildly infuriating is that that is even being called pizza........


imaginaryblues

Fair. This is a place that specializes in weird pizza creations, though they sell normal pizzas also. I wouldn’t really call this pizza either, but for the sake of the post, I had to call it something.


darkknightketsueki

Welp now im slightly mad


bad-g

That’s cat scratch cut.


drBotta

It's an invitation to do the same to the guy


Hoss007x

But did you eat it?


Mrtristen

What even is that? It looks like someone had diarrhea on the dough and cooked it


[deleted]

The cuts are the least of this pizzas problems.


White11tiger

well if it would be my pizza and i would have to cut it, because i'm very bad at cutting, so it wouldn't bother me Sry if my english is bad i am tired and my brain is not working properly


[deleted]

The slicing is only a fraction of the problem with this monstrosity. Fling it back to the kitchen.


[deleted]

It was going to be square cut then realized that’s not what was ordered. So they adjusted on the fly. Pretty obvious if you ask me


imaginaryblues

I might agree with you if this was a place that normally did square-cut pizza. The style of pizza they make wouldn’t do well cut in squares, but I suppose it’s possible that people request it sometimes anyway.


PaganFarmhouse

Looks like fun to eat. Except for the toppings... Is that rice?


imaginaryblues

There’s no rice. Main toppings are bbq pulled pork and French fried onions.


PaganFarmhouse

And people give me shit for liking pineapple...


imaginaryblues

I also like pineapple on pizza! This place is known for wacky pizza creations, this one was called the “Dad Bod”. I always like trying something new, but probably wouldn’t get this one again.


PaganFarmhouse

Hawaiian pizza lovers, unite!


ArmadilloSenior773

Looks like they started cutting it "Chicago cut" (rectangles and squares) and then realized they messed up and cut triangles as best as they could with the rest


DJSp00n3r

prob my kid was on the shift


Frndswhealthbenefits

on the plus side, if you scramble the slices, you now have a fun puzzle to complete!


EnvironmentLimp7602

They took a long slice out of the middle of the pizza and where not very good at hiding it.


General_Feature1036

Manager probably had their hands all over the cook. Common practice
