What is the point of coming to a pizza restaurant if you cannot eat any of the classic pizza ingredients? We're not talking about disliking olives, pepperoni, or other kinds of toppings. We're talking about someone who can't eat tomatoes or cheese. 

To make matters worse, this entitled customer had the audacity to type up an overly dramatic letter to give to the server and kitchen staff of said pizza establishment detailing everything that might happen if he were given cheese, tomatoes, or other ingredients that he cannot eat. Let's just say that the letter was not sparse in the details of this customer's dietary restrictions and the consequences of not following them. Still, the only way to make this simpler for all involved would be 

if this person sought out a cuisine or restaurant that had items on the menu that he could actually eat. These were not simple modifications, and if anyone should be making any adjustments here, it should be the customer!

  • We've included the customer's ridiculous letter below for your amusement. The funniest thing is that this guy ended up being satisfied with an order consisting of almost purely onions. Clearly, there is something wrong with this dude, and wer'e not just talking about his diet. We're talking about his entitlement!

    #2 ABSOLUTELY NO PORK CHOPS..... Please don't serve me, or even suggest, any pork chops. I had a VERY NASTY experience with pork chops that caused me to have a ganreous gall bladder. Please avoid pork chops at all costs..... they will cause what my friends & family call "CODE BROWN" which is an immediate explosive dic event that you don't want here in your establishment.

These will cause another food neurosis fueled event that no one wants to see. Please, for everyone's sake, don't give me any tomatoes or food that has touched tomatoes.

    Or you could make up a bunch of words and have your waiter, the cooks, the entire group chat, and God read this and roll His eyes.
