This. I had a short stint at Papa John's years ago, and when you're faced with a stack of flat boxes that's several feet high, you need to get through them as fast as possible. Square boxes have fewer folds, and thus it'll be easier for the worker on the ground to churn them out versus an octagonal box.
The place I got pizza from last night (HotBox) puts a small handful of Tootsie rolls in one of the corners. They get warm and soft in there. 🤤
Yeah it's olives, they come with almost all brazilian flavours and it's very common. Forgot to mention it because it's really common.
Yeah, that sounds horrible. Peas I could take but I wouldn't be happy about it. It's the boiled eggs that are an unholy abomination.
Why would that be wrong if you've got that many people who want different toppings to themselves?
Well, when you put it that way, it makes perfect sense. It's just a difference that had me thinking while I was carrying my Pizza the elevator last night and forgot to make a thread about it.
I'm no Pizza restaurant worker but from what I gather they store the Pizza boxes already unfolded, so they literally just churn the Pizza on the box, put the lid on, and bam delivery.
Preach!
Brazilian McDonalds is pretty basic run of the corporate chain mill, not sure if it's any difference from the northern hemisphere counterpart:
That's pretty common here. We have the standard 8 slices and the big 12 slices, 3 flavours requires 12 slices
A little char makes crust sooo much better. How do they usually cook Brazilian pies? Wood fired oven?
Brazilian pizza (or at least, São Paulo pizza) is genuinely great and deserves better than this guy as it's ambassador.
It's very different here in a chain. The boxes are delivered as these big flat sheets of cardboard that are scored and tabbed at various points. You need to literally fold it back into the rectangle, and secure those folds with the tabs so that it can actually serve as a container. We can't just put the pizza into a box and top it off.
WE GO UP TO FOUR HERE MOTHERFUCKER
We even have the 4 slice version of a Pizza for a single person! Although I think that's more common elsewhere
Yeah, that video is wild even for us brazilians, but it's a shame the first thing people think of when we talk about brazilian pizzas, because they are truly great.
I literally could not smell the egg. I don't know how you guys boil your eggs but I don't think it's supposed to smell? And the taste is relatively mild. I think something is different with how we do our boiled eggs.
A little char? Every piece of crust is so burned, the crust is black.
No worries, my sympathies goes out to you that doesn't appreciate true Pizza 😎
Nah, that pizza was perfection. Perfectly tasted Mozzarela, with Pepperoni that explodes in your mouth in flavour, with a crumb that will not break your teeth while you eat it. It was just perfection.
That farmer's market is half an hour from my house, btw. Gas is almost $5 a gallon. ðŸ˜
lol agreed
Nope, pão de queijo, while godly, doesn't have Catupiry on it. Although it's possible to find Catupiry in some Coxinhas but that's uncommon.
That's a 12 slice pizza, 2-3 slices from this restaurant is enough for an adult here (although sometimes I go overboard and eat 4). When you have people coming over it's hard to compromise on a single or 2 flavours :(
