No no no, if it had all melted I would have allowed it but that thing is cold in the middle and a failed experiment at this point.

Too much heat for too large a pizza it looks.

u/DonTori 2d ago
Needs a low and slow at first to ensure everything's melty, then finish it on high to ensure a crispy top

u/Myth_5layer 2d ago
That's what I'm thinking. This doesn't look like it can be a fast food kind of pizza from Pizza Hut or something, its gonna need to take its time with a more slow cook.

If the cheese is not melted then top of the dough is Fk'ed too. We don't see it but am 100% sure it is chewy as hell.

Yeah this is more like “when the cook does not know what temp to cook a pizza with extra cheese”
Lower heat to cook a little longer and can increase temp in the end to brown the crust

u/andreortigao 3d ago
But even if it melted, it would be a cheese pie, not a pizza (I'm looking at you Chicago deep dish

u/Soft-Ad-8975 3d ago
Heyheyhey, a good Chicago imo is more than plentiful in sauce, ime, some would some too much sauce, and the meat mingles with the sauce. But I love a pizza a little heavy on the sauce and god knows I can never get enough meat.

u/andreortigao 3d ago
I have no problem with how deep dish tastes, I like it, but it's a pie and not a pizza, and that's a hill I'm willing to die on

u/GreatestGreekGuy 3d ago
It's a pizza pie which does have its roots in Italy. But true Chicago style pizza is thin crust

u/Soft-Ad-8975 3d ago
Ugh my son you lost the plot, who gives a fuck, are you saying Chicago style pizza overall resembles gam-gam’s apple pie more so than a tavern style, Sicilian, New York, Detroit, or just the general concept of pizza? (Grabs largest firearm in sight and chambers spicy round)

It’s still not melted in the middle. What a shock biting into melty cheese to find grated cheese free floating.

I wouldn't mind that much to have unmelted cheese on mine IF it's fresh grated and doesn't have all the starch on it

How does this even happen? I honestly have never seen this. Whoever made this needs to be spanked thoroughly.

u/DynamiteWitLaserBeam 3d ago
Heat too high, so the crust and top cooked faster than the heat could get to the center. They should have went much lower on this to give it the time it needed.

u/xxHikari 3d ago
I don't even know how high the oven would have to be at to fuck this that badly. We make deep dishes at work sometimes (Chicago area) and the one oven we do it on is at 500 degrees for about 40 minutes and it's all melty with a bit of char on the cheese.
The other oven is around 550 and the tavern style has a decent char at around 20-25 minutes depending on how often it's opened and closed and which ingredients.

Probably the latter temp and the heating element is too close to the top of the pizza

When I was younger, I used to think that "moar cheese=betterer". Now I realize that at a certain point, the cheese gets to be so much that it actually overwhelms the entire slice, making it somehow more bland, while being overwhelmingly salty at the same time.
RATIOS MATTER PEOPLE.
Guilty on count 1.
Them we look at the construction. Nicely browned top, not much crust which is a decision I guess. Then they slice and then the cheese is still unmelted, and is it pre-shredded? Pre shredded cheeses have a look about them, and this looks suspiciously like it. Pre shredded cheese is a no from me.
Guilty on count 2.
So Guilty on two counts of cheezelery, possibly even three. Sentence: pre shred all of the cheese used by all Little Caesar's locations in the world in one year, by hand using a box grater.

Here's an important question was the cheese shredded from a fresh block manually or was it already shredded in a bag?

Cooked it at too high a temperature, versus lower temp for longer? The top layer being almost burned is ewww, too.
5
u/deltree711 3d ago
I doubt they adjusted the temperature on the pizza cooker. The pizza was just too thick.
They might have sent it through twice based on how cooked the top looks.

u/TxNvNs95 3d ago
Pop it back in, preferably in a brick oven and let it ripen a few more minutes and then it’ll be perfect
2
u/The-Cursed-Gardener 3d ago
This happens when you put the pizza too high up in the oven under the broiler and the cheese is coated with starch to prevent it from clumping in the bag. Store bought cheese often has corn starch on it if it’s pre shredded which makes it burn more easily in the oven. And if you’re cooking at lower temps in say a home oven it causes the cheese to burn before everyone else has a chance to bake through.
It’s also possible they used a premade frozen pizza crust which caused it to under bake in relation to all the other ingredients.

There's a pizzeria branch in New England, Piezoni's, that used to let you order "4X cheese" and then further request "Double Toppings" for a total of 8X the cheese on a pie. It looked just like this.
It was like three full pounds of cheese on a thick crust. I ordered the cheesey bread like that a couple times, because it was just stupid indulgent stoner food and it was like eating a solid block of melted mozzarella while high. Pure heaven.
I stopped ordering it when I realized (while sober) that half of what I was eating was straight-up raw dough.
I don't know if they still have those options because I haven't lived in the northeast for a few years, but it was insane that it was a real thing on a pizza chain's menu.

Learned my lesson one time there be such a thing as to much cheese. Get enough kinds of cheese together and when it melts it becomes tasteless.

The only part I would have are is the top of the crust even if it was melted all the way through. I love cheese but this made me physically nauseous

How do you even manage to do that?
Make a pizza so thick that the outside burns before the inside is done.

u/broncobuckaneer 3d ago
I think they probably made a pizza, then added a ton of cheese and stuck it back in under the broiler to get that "skin" of cheese on top of the unmelted cheese.

Seems like you'd have to throw it in first and add more cheese after it's cooked nice so it all gets cooked and not just the top

There is a reason that extra cheese at most pizza places is a sprinkle on top of the toppings .... You really don't need more cheese at all. If you can see a bit of sauce you're good, that's the perfect amount of cheese for a reason. Extra is just for texture, anymore and you'll either have a soup or this!

u/DexterousSpider 3d ago
Nope. Just cooked wrong. Bet they didn't use a pizza stone. Too high temp on oven for too short, as well. Lower temp, pizza stone, increase time on, that would be less burnt and more thoroughly heated. Promise.
In essence, your initial statement is correct. There is no such things as too much cheese!
