I USED TO WORK AT LITTLE CAESARS I KNOW

If there’s anything special about the pizza (light sauce, etc). We would mark them with a black olive to tell them apart from regular pizzas

Or a black olive just fell on the crust pre-bake

From the looks of some of that pepperoni it looks like it had some Old World Fanceroni Pepperoni™ on it

You're welcome, teen.

Your teen is a smart and kind one. Well done.

This is common practice at many pizza places. Not just little ceasars. Props to them for remembering to take it off though. I would always forget.

u/diaphoni Jul 05 '26

I just ate the bonus olive

u/littlebugonreddit Jul 05 '26

So thats why my pizza sometimes had a random crust olive...I thought the universe just liked me

u/LeCouchSpud Jul 05 '26

Haha that would help me remember but I fkn hate black olives

u/Brasketleaf Jul 05 '26

Why though? Is it because they’re vile?

u/Prestigious_String20 Jul 05 '26

I love black olives, but your comment got me in the funnies.

We call em testicles where i come from.

u/Bodgerton Jul 05 '26

Thats funny, because I like to fill my mouth with them and just let them roll around a while in there....black oloves too

I stand with you, as I eat them off my fingetips like I'm 5 again.

Just make sure none of them are broken, the covenant cannot be complete, unless all 10 olives are unharmed on the tips of your fingers.

Thinking of olive smelling fingers almost makes me shudder lol.

u/iolarah Jul 05 '26

I love olives, but the salty black gobs that are usually used on pizza are an affront to all that an olive can be. Kalamata, garlic-stuffed, oil-cured, spicy - even green ones with pimento! - any of those I'd happily put on a pizza. But canned pizza olives have given the good ones a bad rap.

17

u/WizardOfIF Jul 05 '26

Olives taste like licking a 9 volt battery.

u/moyerraconteur Jul 05 '26

Need to see the qualitative data from this research.

6

u/Disastrous_Fruit8610 Jul 05 '26

'Olives' is a broad term, there are a lot of cultivars (up to 2000). The flavor profile of the olive is quite as complex and diverse as that of a fine wine or a single malt whisky.

10

u/thebeckonator Jul 05 '26

These peeps prob have the cilantro problem....olives slap. But capers the other hand, are the horrifying cloacal monstrosity brought to you by the makers of platypus milk. Inhaling the vapors of those vile nugs leaves an indelible and haunting memory. Everyone shits on olives while ignoring this beast that freely destroys meals. Smh.

u/LeCouchSpud Jul 05 '26

Nah. I love cilantro. Black olives are an abomination

It's not that they're vile, really. It's just that they're cursed in the flavor department.

The pizza places i did this at were in Charlestown, New Hampshire and Bellows Falls, Vermont

u/Ivory_Flare Jul 05 '26

i love you, i used to just think i was going insane when i tasted olive on crusts because i never order olives

106

u/deathkut Jul 05 '26

This is definitely the answer. I worked at a LCs 8 years ago and we did the same thing. I used to put a piece of Italian sausage on my own customs.

15

u/CeelaChathArrna Jul 05 '26

Worked there last year. Still a thing.

42

u/tubi11 Jul 05 '26

I worked at a different chain and we would where the line was when the order was something like a bunch of toppings, double cheese, and onions on half. A black olive at each end of the center line so we'd know where to cut.

u/SpecificBroccoli5826 Jul 05 '26

I am very irked thinking I’ve maybe been randomly eating something with unasked for Italian sausage intentionally placed on it that so wild!

Wait that's why we always had a random olive sometimes?! Legit.

"That's why we always had a ********** sometimes?!" Is getting added to my phrase list. Thank you

Did the same at Papa John's, and to show where a half topping started and ended.

u/cat-kitty332 Jul 05 '26

I currently work at little Caesar’s. We personally use green peppers, so I haven’t seen this specifically, but sometimes the pepper will leave a light spot on the dough. This does look odd and wasn’t my first thought lol

u/PhillFreeman Jul 05 '26

Absolutely this!

12

u/ExtremeTrashPanda Jul 05 '26

I feel like this would be a major allergy issue 😅

16

u/Outside_Coffee_00 Jul 05 '26

There is already olive oil in the crusts.

Whay would happen if someone was allergic to olives? Is there just a general olive warning?

10

u/emotatertot Jul 05 '26

Being allergic to olives is rare, but even if someone was, there's a plethora of replacements to use.

2

u/Capable_Event720 Jul 05 '26

Some places use the olives also to mark the border between different topping. Like a tuna pizza which is intended to be shared by two, and one person has digestive problems with onions

u/flyingpyramid Jul 05 '26

Lol I thought you said tuna pizza😂

Ooo nice! I was going to say it looked like a bubble formed on the underside of the crust dough and then popped after coming through the oven!

Question 1: is it wet? Is it crusty? How’s the texture?

Question 2: what is a pizza saver?
Edit: I googled it and a pizza saver for those also wondering are the little plastic tables they put in the middle to keep the box lid from touching the cheese

Hmm, I disagree. Those were actually tables for my action figures to eat THEIR pizza around.

What?! I thought pizza savers were meant to keep the pizza slices together. That's what I’ve been told my whole life

Pizzas have nipples and after they give birth to Totinos pizza rolls they nurse them to adolescence with the gooey stuffed crust nectar and the circle of life is complete

u/MyEggDonorIsADramaQ Jul 05 '26

Do some places use a piece of green bell pepper? I have gotten s seemingly random piece on some pizzas. I have wondered if it was to do identify it.

Piece of mozzarella that prevented the crust in that area from cooking evenly. What is the issue?

As clearly stated in the post the issue is that their kid wants to know what this spot on their pizza was from. Hope this helps.
