all you have to do is finely slice some onions on it, add some more cheese, add kalamata olives five mins before taking it out. done. overall probably adds 5 more mins to prep time.

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

I find the frozen pizzas are a lot better if I put them in the oven a bit.
Especially if you remove the plastic wrapping first
You eat pizza without the peel?
I'm not ALLOWED to eat the peels
Smoke some cigarettes to suffocate the toxins, you’ll be fine
woke mob back at it again restricting your god given freedoms
FINE, I'll peel your stupid pizza
When i worked retail we had someone try to return a cooked frozen pizza that had the plastic melted onto it and our corporate policy forced us to take it back. Everyone was thinking the customer was just stupid but i think they were trolling us.
I have the privilege of cooking a homemade dinner for my partner and I every night. :3
Bruh my meals, if I remember to eat anything, are basically just a protein shake and a cheese stick. Every day. Or occasionally just chocolate chips and milk because it’s fast and tastes good enough I can eat it even if my body doesn’t want to eat.
If I had the motivation to buy and cook a frozen pizza for an actual dinner, I’d feel like I’d been cured of mental illness lol
Edit: To alleviate any concerns, I’m well aware of the health detriment. This is the worst I’ve been in a while, but I am working on it.
Also thank you to the comments because just remembering this post made me remember to eat food rn lol. I’m eating some fruit now and am going to make some ramen with carrots and an egg later (totally forgot I had carrots lol)
In case anyone else reading this is like me this is your reminder to eat food today; do it now before you forget again
Eat a fuckin vegetable holy shit. You’ll feel so much better.
You’re 100% right, unfortunately my brain doesn’t connect the feeling better to the eating vegetables and I totally forget I bought them by day 2 and then end up throwing away rotting vegetables a week later.
But I did just buy a mini fridge so hopefully keeping food nearby will remind me it exists and my brain won’t be able to use the excuses of “it’s so far away” or “you might have to interact with people in the kitchen or on your way”
Canned vegetables
i think one of the best things to do is just stop thinking about it and do it. it works for me, and hopefully works for you too. USE YOUR WILL POWER!
I have ADHD; executive dysfunction is a removed, but yeah later in the day when my meds are kicked-in, that’s usually when I can do this. My schedule is just bad rn with school and work so I either don’t have the time or am exhausted.
Bro, beware of scurvy. Seriously.
Oh don’t worry I do also have apple sauce packets that I remember exist some days lol
Get yourself a microwave meal, they're honestly much better than they used to be, nuke it and eat it. Preferably one that contains vegetables but any will do. You'll feel amazing for having real solid food inside you. :)
ikr on a "bad day" I'm basically just grabbing a slice of bread and opening the fridge to find something edible to wrap it around.
r/kitchencels community on Lemmy when?
Protip: pimp your pizza.
Slap on some nice cheeses, some nice cold cuts (if you're into meat), sprinkle some basil and oregano, can even dump a more consistent pizza sauce over it of you're feeling frisky! Turns a 5/10 slab of whatever into a 7/10 slab of whatever with custom rims and a body kit!
Pizza sauce is so easy to make yourself - fry a clove of garlic in a teaspoon of oil, add a can a chopped tomatoes, a pinch of salt, a pinch of sugar, a pinch of oregano - let that simmer on the stove, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes or until all the water has boiled off and you have a thick puree then spread that on your chosen base and add some cheese. Voila! If you learn how to make your own dough then a homemade cheese pizza will cost pennies and taste better than anything you will get in the supermarket.
You lost me at making my own dough.
Just buy a pre-made one then
The only real problem with making your own dough is the rise time when you just want to slap it together and eat.
Pre-made pizza bases will save you time, making your own is super cheap but I appreciate it takes time. I'll usually make a big batch on a weekend and then just freeze balls of dough which I can use later.
cheddar and chicken slices, take it or leave it :3
Protip: Follow the instructions. Lotta people yolo it and then complain frozen pizza sucks
get some nduja, hot sauce, and fresh basil on that motherfucker. Delivery pizza is obsolete.
Dice up a bit of fresh garlic. Put some Sriracha on there. Get creative and indulgent! The frozen pizza is the beginning of wisdom, not the end of it.
Frozen pizzas are… quite the range. Some are legitimately a pathetic excuse that barely approximates the concept of a pizza. Some are pretty good, not great but not bad.
In ether case I can’t imagine eating one multiple nights in a row.
Same, and it’s always worth it adding cheese on top.
In any case, there are other kinds of cheap, relatively decent foods out there. It shouldn’t be hard to have variation even on a budget. Not ideal, but not nearly as grim as frozen pizza every day.
The crazy thing is, frozen pizzas aren’t that cheap. Like, they’re not super expensive, but hardly eating on a budget.
There are frozen pizzas near me (a relatively expensive food area, for America), that cost $1.25 (~17c an ounce) and have almost 500 calories. I'm not advocating for the frozen pizza diet at all but that level of price/calorie ratio is pretty impressive.

I'd say even the pretty good ones can be great not the best pizza but like legitimately quite good if you get a pizza stone I think a large chunk of the problem with frozen pizza is regular ovens just don't cook them that well and the pizza stone largely fixes that
You should try other frozen foods
Or look up 10 or 15 minute recipes
Exactly. In the time you get the oven warm and cook the pizza, you can prepare something else. I admit pizza is easier, thou.
A lot of ovens have convection heating now. You can go from opening the freezer to eating an entire pizza in under 20 minutes, dirty only a cutting board and knife, and the hardest step is remembering to set an alarm

1: Buy a roll of pizza dough.
2: Buy one of those 20 cent cans of tomatopaste.
3: Buy cheese, not shredded cheese because that's more expensive and less tasty.
4: Add those items on top of the dough, add vegetables/meat/fish/whatever to taste.
5: Enjoy vastly superior pizza for roughly the same price.
A bunch of tortillas are cheap and work almost as well as pizza dough, and are less work.
I say this as somebody who makes their own two day fermented pizza dough. Honestly they're 75% as good.
Premade garlic naan. Still get that doughy inside and thick crust but it gets crispy on the bottom. So good and way better than frozen pizza dough.
3: Cheese... Do you have any tricks for shredding fresh mozzarella? I tried freezing it for a bit but that still just gums up the shredder. Other people say just pick it apart, but man that takes forever.
You probably don’t want to be using “fresh” motz. Generally that refers to high moisture Mozzarella, which will be too wet to work well unless you use it very sparingly like how Neapolitan is done. You want to use low moisture Mozzarella, IE the bricks, unfortunately most of the bricks are low fat which lacks flavor, so ideally you want to look for full fat, low moisture Mozzarella, the most reliable way to find it is as cheese sticks, but it’s a pain to unwrap a bunch for pizza and the amount of plastic waste is a shame.
Ether way you shouldn’t need to shred it, jus t break it up a little with a few knife cuts to get it in to slices and lay those across it. It’s fine if they’re not super thin slices as they’ll melt and distribute a bit.
Ive had good results basically dicing the mozz into little cubes
I don't know why I never thought about just dicing it, makes perfect sense. Funny how the mind works, thanks.
Get a lump of dried mozzarella, not fresh. Or better yet, try Oaxaca cheese
I've never seen dried mozzarella but I will try this if I do, thank you.
Good luck. Sometimes, I've had a hard time finding the dry aged to mozzarella too. It'll look different from the fresh stuff because there won't be any moisture in the packaging. It'll have a texture like stringcheese.
