I went to Costco today and bought one of the cook it at home pizzas. It looked large but I figured it would fit in my oven. I was wrong. Cut the pizza in half and it still wouldn't fit, had to cut it in quarters. 12,000 won - good deal, but I have to cook it 4 times.

The first picture has a desert plate in the corner for scale.



quartered and on oven rack on top of pizza box

Verdict: It's pretty good pizza - and no the pizza won't last 4 days, probably 2. But there are four people in my house.

Seafood this time, next time i'll try one of the other options.

You could always cut it up into slices and freeze it, that way you have frozen pizza ready to go whenever you want. I buy the plain cheese pizza and do that and add my own toppings before heating.

I like that idea and will buy a cheese next time and quarter it. Add my own toppings to one quarter cook and eat and then freeze the rest.

As ridiculously expensive as Korea is, 12 000 won is a good deal for a pizza of that, uh, magnitude.

Put some real cheese on that puppy and it's good to go I would think.

But yeah, get the plain one the next time and add your own toppings, personalize it. Pizza is the only food that actually makes me think there is a god, because pizza is DIVINE (cue the gay music).

Did the pizza look smaller in the shop? Did your oven look bigger in your mind's eye? I'm perplexed.

I still have half of that same seafood pizza in the freezer. Not too bad, but not great either.

It was probably the only way he could think of to intro the post. It would have sounded arsier if he had just written "Hey, I just bought a *beep* off big pizza and want to impress the *beep* out of everyone!"

People with money show off their possessions: cars, houses, boats etc.

English teachers in Asia show off their pizzas.

Either that or there's some kind of variant of dyslexia related to spacial recognition.

"Hey, I bet that there skycraper'd fit in me *beep*'s snatch!"
