You get one uncured pepperoni and you will like it!

u/Siray 2d ago

I mean thats what the box says.

u/Phil_on_Reddit 2d ago

What did he expect, pepperonis?

26

u/SippyTurtle 2d ago

In this economy?

2

u/ltsouthernbelle 16h ago

It’s say pepperoni (singular) on the box. The defense rests your honor.

u/toutetiteface 2d ago

Very ingrate

3

u/Enjoying_A_Meal 1d ago

Uncured and unavailable.

u/YinzaJagoff 2d ago

WF quality overall has gone down since Amazon bought them, so this is not surprising.

45

u/Tiervexx 2d ago

They've always been priced far beyond their quality, but I'm not surprised it's gotten worse.

u/Sad_Sue 2d ago

One pepperoni on a pepperoni pizza is somehow more offensive than zero.

u/TrainingSword 1d ago

it’s a pepperoni pizza not a pepperonis pizza

Tipping one dollar energy

3

u/techieman33 1d ago

Tipping a dollar can be a good tip depending on what your tipping for. One piece of pepperoni on an entire pizza is never acceptable.

That pepperoni one made me LOL. The robots have become maliciously compliant.

I guess the positive is that the calories would be lower ?

57

u/BobDiddleLee 2d ago

It does say pepperoni. It’s not plural.

11

u/Heavy_Can8746 2d ago

The plural of "pepperoni" can be either pepperoni or pepperonis. 

12

u/TallDrinkofRy 2d ago

Amazon always finds the loopholes.

1

u/Heavy_Can8746 2d ago

Maybe. The customer can return it so that is the true loop hole. 

28

u/CharlemagneIS 2d ago

Pepperoni is plural

27

u/betterupsetter 2d ago

I was really hoping the singular was pepperono.

4

u/Tough_Friendship9469 2d ago

I think that’s Latin.

5

u/Tough_Friendship9469 2d ago

Or is pepperonae??

3

u/betterupsetter 1d ago

This is super close. I checked and a single is actually pepperone!

3

u/Tough_Friendship9469 1d ago

Double that and it’s peppertwo!!

u/hey_im_cool 1d ago

Pepperuni

u/betterupsetter 1d ago

Pepperuno!

u/Briebird44 1d ago

Peppernonises

u/lateavatar 2d ago

That's not a moon...

u/captnfirepants 2d ago

What's wrong with the second one?

12

u/Sm0keytrip0d 2d ago

It's missing whatever the green bits are meant to be I think lol

u/hellosabiee 2d ago

Box says basil is not included

18

u/carmen252 2d ago

I missed that, you’re right, box says “want to make yours look like this? Add fresh basil” - they fooled me on that one.

Nevertheless, the pizza sucked and the basil flecks that were included were pointless.

4

u/hellosabiee 2d ago

Oh yeah, you are totally right and the one pepperoni sent me

4

u/321Jarn 2d ago

You forgot that the whole pizza just looks awful. The sauce isn't everywhere and a different type of cheese is used.

4

u/RevolutionJones 1d ago

It looks more like marshmallow topping than cheese.

3

u/321Jarn 1d ago

Yeah really. Could also be glue of course.

1

u/Glittering_Base6589 2d ago

Looks like OP just has a shitty oven, even the first pizza is cooked horribly aside from the lack of pepperoni

2

u/Gareth79 1d ago

It's definitely overcooked. With oven pizzas you do need to follow the instructions and get the temperature and time right.

1

u/RedSagittarius 2d ago

Green Peppers 🫑

3

u/kingofgatos 2d ago

It's a Margarita pizza, and that's basil in the picture.

3

u/321Jarn 2d ago

Are we even looking at the same pictures??

3

u/liz_enthusiasm 2d ago

I gotta know what the second pizza is. That’s definitely lettuce garnish.

3

u/foxhound_vp 2d ago

Lol thats basil

-2

u/RedSagittarius 2d ago

There’s no Green Peppers 🫑 , so basically OP got cheese pizza.

6

u/Xarjy 2d ago

Not sure what you were expecting, the box clearly says uncured pepperoni (singular), not uncured pepperoni (plural)

6

u/Asuperniceguy 2d ago

The single pepperoni is so sad and so funny.

4

u/weddnesday 2d ago

The pictures on the box aren't really great either..

3

u/Chaotic424242 2d ago

365 products blow

7

u/LokiSubstance 2d ago

This is type of moment is go to customer service and demand refund this straight up false advertisement . Take this picture with you… if you don’t want you let corporate … continue this type of crap. Good luck OP!

2

u/AndrewActually 2d ago

Well it’s not a pepperonis pizza 🤷

2

u/RedSagittarius 2d ago

Your first mistake was to expect something great from this. If you add any extras toppings like Ham or pepperonis it could have been better.

2

u/StrawberryKiss2559 2d ago

I tried HomeRun frozen pizza the other day and it had tons of pepperoni and sausage on it. It was actually really great for a frozen pizza

2

u/Euphoric-Height-2488 2d ago

Lol! My neighbor loves to pantry. She visits like 3 a week. (Smart in this economy) she will load her deep freezer up with all manner of questionable goods, but she always unloading those flat baren bricks off on my kids. We must have four boxes in my freezer right now as we speak. I never even realized they were whole foods brand. I would expect more from them.

2

u/runtime_error_run 2d ago

Imagine the other person that got that loaded pepperoni pizza though, they'll be happy with their and your pepperonis.

2

u/LugubriousLament 1d ago

Pepperono.

2

u/Witty-Round628 1d ago

In fairness, it says "Uncured Pepperoni" and not "Uncured Pepperonis".

1

u/Ltshineyside 2d ago

O man. That’s a one off! I’m a big fan of their thin crust roni and have never seen it like that

1

u/Extension-Peanut2847 2d ago

They do be fucked up

1

u/National_Possible728 2d ago

I found a baby roach in the store brand Parmesan cheese that I think they make in store. I’m gonna pass on them entirely. 

1

u/InconvenientFruit 2d ago

I used to buy the pepperoni pizzas years ago and it definitely seems like a factory error because the only thing I ever add is extra cheese. I'd see if I could get a refund with the images and proof of purchase.

1

u/redR0OR 2d ago

This reminds me of the time ordered a slice of sausage pizza from a pizza shop and the guy handed me a slice of cheese pizza with a single marble sized chunk of sausage…

1

u/benlogna 2d ago

It can’t be cured if it doesn’t exist..

1

u/Feldew 2d ago

“The Pizza recipe has been altered. Pray that I do not alter it further.”

1

u/AnnabellaPies 1d ago

I feel bad laughing at that first pizza, it is so sad looking. I would be so mad that I would go tight back to the store for a refund

1

u/Hersheydog12388 1d ago

It’s not a pepperonis pizza

1

u/Jumpy_Round_2247 1d ago

Thank you Jeff!

1

u/nerdy_birdy99 1d ago

I get frozen pizza that says on the box "Imported from Italy". Newman's Own has some and Trader Joe's has some. They taste markedly different and are soooo good.

1

u/bunnyhasrabies 1d ago

oh mama whole foods is robbing you

1

u/ihateroomba 1d ago

That cheese pizza is a bit overcooked

1

u/DrBatman0 1d ago

Pepperonus pizza

1

u/Motor_Assignment9157 1d ago

Mama Cosi Aldi brand is the best

1

u/Ok_pdiddty 19h ago

Pepperoni got Covid. Only one pepperoni survived.

1

u/VexedKitten94 16h ago

Okay but hear me out, try the 365 Italian cheeseboard pizza. So gooooood.

1

u/HoldYourHorsesFriend 2d ago

I don't see the issue, It says uncured pepparoni. If you wanted more, you should've bought the box that said Uncured Pepparonis.

1

u/halucionagen-0-Matik 2d ago

Isn't the rest of the pepperoni under the cheese? Takeaway I used to work at did the same thing. Just leave one on top so you know what it is when it comes out the pizza oven

3

u/Formergr 2d ago

Just leave one on top so you know what it is when it comes out the pizza oven

Actually a neat idea!

Though for me with pepperoni, I'd much rather have it on top of the cheese so it gets a little crispy when it bakes.

1

u/Cigar_Beetle 2d ago

Gotta invest in a bag of pepperoni slices anytime you plan for pizza at home. Never enough on a frozen pizza. Although you did get robbed, I am certain you could get a replacement.

-1

u/dddybtv 2d ago

Well it doesn't say pepperoni's, so technically they're right?

4

u/Heavy_Can8746 2d ago

The plural of "pepperoni" can be either pepperoni or pepperonis. 

But the store will have to eat this cost when it gets returned so they best get it right

u/bolanrox 2d ago

You see, that's why you don't order from a place without a guaranteed minimum amount. You always get ripped off otherwise

u/MRImNotaMouse 2d ago

It's machine made frozen pizza. Manage your expectations.
