Does your pizza taste like cardboard?

Had to make lunch for myself and my two evil minions (long story) one day, so I decided to bake some frozen pizza. Preheat oven, check. Three DeeJournoo's pies, opened, taken off the cardboard backing, placed in the oven, check. Set oven timer to 25 minutes, check.

When the oven alarm went off, I walked over to take the pizzas out, but something didn't smell quite right... Took them out... AW CRAP! I LEFT THE CARDBOARD ON ONE OF THE PIES!

Wait, did I really? Looked at the counter where I'd left the backings... One, two, three pieces of cardboard. That pizza must've had TWO pieces, and I didn't notice it. Crap.

I ate it anyway. Funny part is, it tasted almost like a pie from one of those fancy "wood-fired oven" pizzerias. Almost, but not quite.

Welcome to the club. I've done the same thing years ago. I don't remember the taste, but because the cardboard was still under it, i had to cook it longer than I wanted to.

I don't know what to say.

Yes I do. I want pizza.

[RealUnimportant]

I don't know what to say.

Yes I do. I want pizza.

I think that's the only possible response. Gimme pizza!

Yeah, I kinda want pizza now after reading this too. Must beg my mom to make it sometime this week since we didn't have it yesterday (our usual tradition is to have pizza on Halloween, but this time we had burgers).

Alright, everybody sing along to Cold Pizza For Breakfast,

... I want: cold pizaa for breakfast
... Warm Coke to wash it down
... Maybe a couple of limp onion rings
... To make this meal well-rounded

I did that once. Back when I was Teenage bhskittykatt, Mom had left pizza for Kid Brother and myself. And I had never baked a frozen pizza before! How was I supposed to know to remove the cardboard? (Read instructions? Screw that!) In our case, the cardboard didn't let the pizza cook thoroughly, so the crust was all doughy.

Well, at least you removed it from the oven on time.

One time my parents left me home alone for a weekend and gave me a few frozen pizzas to feed myself with.

Pizza goes in oven, brain gets fixated on something, time passes, I go in the kitchen to get a drink and wonder why it's so warm in there.

It looked like a giant hocky puck. Pitch black. Rather surprised it didn't fill the house with smoke.

I guess in some form you could count the cardboard as an extra vegetable?

A friend of my dad's complained to his date that the cheesecake was inordinately tough...

She told him: "Clyde, you ate the doily."
