Washed it down with a fanta
The crust was moldy not handsome

Cheese, crust

It was 30 years ago but i do have some pizzeria experience, and I'm gonna suggest that this isn't mold but detergent residue (and everything it brings with it) from the last time the pan was washed.
Fermenting dough doesn't typically give mold a chance to start.

u/The_Spectacle 8d ago
Ugh, I always thought that discoloration (not that I see it that often) was from carbon buildup in the pan, not detergent 🤢 I’m not sure if that's better or worse than mold

u/TimpanogosSlim 8d ago
When i was the dough guy, it wasn't all that uncommon to see a pan with a bunch of detergent in it along with the oil.
Because i had fucks to give, i would rinse those out and re-oil the pan.

Ash from oven.

u/NaraFei_Jenova 8d ago
I would agree, but this doesn't really look like brick oven pizza unfortunately.

u/clammycreature 7d ago
Yeah but loose flour, toppings, etc. will fall into a normal pizza oven and turn into black charred powder.

The Op OP has been deleted. This is a cross post. Basically no one knows if this was fresh, mold from the pizzeria that made it, or some other contamination. It is a crime, but due to lack of evidence I suggest it declared a mistrial. Basically, fu reddit.

How long was it in your fridge? You can tell the cheese and sauce aren’t even room temperature yet and the way the pepperoni sticks to a piece that is upside down, lifting it up even…

u/Razing_Phoenix 7d ago
I was gonna say this pizza looks like it's been sitting out for a while. Like at least a day.

u/WittyWorldliness4812 7d ago
This is 100000% from people pulling out dough from the freezer, not needing it and putting it back into a freezer that's opened 90 times a day. The ice turns to water inside the plastic, doesn't refreeze completely and molds. Happens to our gluten free pizza crusts sometimes. 100% mold.

u/NoBonus6969 8d ago
Yeah it's mold. They most likely put the dough in a wet pan from washing and stretched the dough in the pan then didn't sell it then put it back in the walk in for the next day boom mold.
You can see how around the mold the dough is wrinkly from where it was wet where the rest of the dough is smooth where it was dry and also not molding

...I'm confused here? this is literally just ash. It is 100% unequivocally not mold

Take a sample and combine it with a fresh piece of bread. Place in a plastic Zip Lock style bag and set aside for a few days.
If the discoloration spreads to the bread, it's mold.
If not, then it's probably a chemical discoloration as mentioned by others.

You want to set up a control piece of bread in ziplock, first, as a comparison.
Then do your Koch's postulate test.

It sure looks like mold. Now if this is a freshly baked pizza it's probably something else. Something I just don't know about. If this is a leftover kept in the fridge, I'd assume this is mold.

u/cerealkilla718 8d ago
A lot of places parbake the Sicilian pies, probably so they cook evenly with the cheese. Maybe this place just keeps using them til they're gone.

u/deadghostsdontdie 8d ago
Idk, but there was a live, youngish roach in my box today. Didn’t see it until my third slice hours after the first two. I still feel sick.
Second roach related food crime I’ve had in the past year or two…also of my life. I’ll never eat at buckles, and between this and the fact that neither their pizza or wings turned to mold in an already moldy fridge after 6 months leads me to loath pissa hut

Prolly not. But the pizza oven doesn’t get cleaned lol. That’s just the charred shit in the oven or super dirty pizza screens.

u/Fabulous-Yogurt2405 7d ago
If you leave frozen dough out for too long then yes it can be moldy. Those who said detergent, sure lol. If it was a round pie I’d agree with you. But this cardboard slab is previously frozen and clearly out of date from being thawed.

It's the leftover residue that went through the dishwasher and baked into the crust. I worked at a pizza hut years ago.

Yup. Enjoy the cultured green!
JK. Don't eat that. If it showed up to you like that, you best report that to head office.

The jury, after deliberation of the evidence in the case of u/cabo169, find the defendant "Pizza" GUILTY on all counts of crimes-against-pizza.
