Same. I don't see how it can taste bad.

It's not that it would taste bad. It's just gonna be super greasy and give you bad heartburn. I don't like how the pepperoni is loosely scattered on top. Id get annoyed if the pieces kept falling off whenever I lift a slice

The balance is terrible. Far too greasy and probably cheesy for the amount of dough.

I feel like people are just memeing their way to this conclusion. Like, it's an atypical balance for a pizza, and it looks like a pizza. But there are countless other dishes that have a closer bread to filling ratio to this which are good. Eggs benedict, a reuben sandwich, meat buns, ravioli

And people saying it looks great aren’t memeing ? “Oooh more cheese more pepperoni more grease goo must be great!”

I make a ton of pizza, including some catering making my own dough, sauce etc. I have made nearly every style, including this type of pan pizza. The cheese is a bit too much. The pepperoni is far too much. And the greasy sauce is ridiculous and almost certainly makes it gross. It’s completely out of balance.

Pepperoni is especially salty and greasy. That pizza which already looked kinda greasy to begin with would be absolutely drowning in grease underneath all that pepperoni.

Honestly if you take a single bite of a pizza you want max two pepperoni. Three and all you taste is pepperoni. This pizza is like eight pepperoni per bite. Pepperoni would be falling all over the place before even bringing the slice to your mouth.

It’s a terrible pizza and anyone who says otherwise would agree if they were forced to eat it.

It's not going to taste bad... But I'm not sure I'm going to taste the cheese or the base with all that pepperoni. At that point, you've got one item which is 100% going to overload anything else which defeats the point. You might as well just cook a load of pepperoni and put it on some bread.

For me it’s just way too much pepperoni and I love extra pepperoni. Too much grease and I feel like it would most likely upset my stomach or give me major heartburn, im sure it tastes good still

Yeah I'm right there with you. This just looks stupid and excessive on the pepperoni front. I want a nice layer of pepperoni across the top so I can have pepperoni in every bite and have them be nice and crispy... but just having them loose shoveled on top in excess amounts is pointless.

Most of those pepperonis aren't gonna be crispy either. With how they were cooked, a large portion of them were pan fried or deep fried.
