I was probably around ~5(ish) years old when I went to Chuck E. Cheese for a birthday party; distinctly remember disliking the pizza (and cheese, by extension) so much that I thought I *hated* pizza altogether until I was ~16(ish) and started working at a local pizza place in town called Valeos where we'd get a free 16in to take home after every shift. I still use their sauce recipe to this day it's literally so good!
At the time, I think a friends mom [jokingly] said the pizza was 'cardboard' and I began crying as I genuinely believed it was actual cardboard
i used to think that the cardboard circle underneath a frozen pizza turned into the crust when you cooked it.
Are you able or willing to share the sauce recipe?
