Here are more photos from Prince William and Kate’s day in Wales on Thursday. Their “day” started so late, they actually stayed the night in Wales, at a local bed and breakfast. No word on how many rooms they needed! After they went hiking and abseiling with the Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team, William and Kate went to Dowlais Rugby Club to hang out with members of the community.
Someone in Kensington Palace reads Celebitchy, because Peg and Keen made a big show of not showing up to the club empty-handed. They stopped by the Little Dragon Pizza Van, which is like a food truck for Welsh people, and they ended up grabbing 22 “pies.” William and Kate apparently ordered a bunch of different kinds, “including pepperoni, margherita, barbecue chicken and goats’ cheese pizzas.” Wait until you see the photo of the actual “pizza.” Like… Welsh people, y’all need to invite some Italians to emigrate to Wales so y’all can have some proper Italian food. No disrespect to the Little Dragon Pizza Van, but those are some of the saddest pizzas I’ve ever seen.
Welsh peeps: is this really what your pizza looks like? Oh, dear. pic.twitter.com/rFPSMEeMBF

Derangers are making a big deal about how Kate and William are so normal, caring and generous they are for bringing those struggle pizzas around, but Will and Kate really did turn the whole thing into a self-conscious photo-op. The paparazzi got shots of them walking up to the van and Kate carrying more boxes than William. Maybe that’s the way we can get them to donate more sh-t to people – convince them to turn everything into a pre-arranged photo-op, so we’ll see Kate performatively lift one bag of donations to the baby bank, and we can see them both carry one can of beans (each) to the food bank.
As William and Kate were making a big show of picking up the pizza boxes, a reporter called out: “William, have you spoken to your brother? Why did you settle, William?” According to the Mail, “A smiling William continued to walk indoors with his wife and did not acknowledge the question.”

I’d like someone to ask him how you can insist you are the Prince of Wales when you can’t be bothered to learn the language?
The better question to ask is how can he be Prince if Wales when he isn’t Welsh? As for speaking the language not all Welsh people who live in Wales can speak it either and I do believe I read somewhere that Charles was the only POW to bother to learn Welsh and that was because of the fancy investiture they did.
It’s a British thing as in; How can you be the Duke of Devonshire when the Cavendish family has lived in Derbyshire since 1590????
Rob McElhenny is learning Welsh. Willy could too.
very hard work for Keen s. She has the guffawing photos again
I think she guffaws and jazz hands because it helps hide how she’s aging a bit? When she’s not animated she looks so haggard in pictures …?
I have to agree. When her mouth is open like a hyena, you don’t notice her sagging jowls.
To be fair, Keen’s doing the major lifting here…
Literally. Why is she carrying more pizzas than William?
Sometimes you have to SHAME people into doing right.
After visiting numerous charities empty handed, they finally bring something to the table. At a rugby club which can probably afford their own pizzas.
Oh snap. I thought the pizzas were for the rescue team.
I think you’re right, but the rescue team isn’t exactly a charity either. They go empty-handed to food banks, baby banks, and homeless shelters but deliver pizza to a rugby club hosting a 🏔️ rescue team? They are strictly performative.
No, I can’t tell! This was after the rescue team thing and it says they joined members of the community at the rugby club. So unless they invited the rescue team to the rugby club? Maybe idk.
Pegs begs for pizza.
Unfortunately these pizzas weren’t bought with money. I suspect lazy made a deal with them. Giving free pizza = free promotions.
Because they ordered just 22 pies. Thin crust small/medium sized. Little dragon website says it takes 90 seconds to cook. You can make 4 to 6 pizzas at once. Just 10 minute cooking time. Others are pre-prepared. Who would hire a whole van for a few minute delivery. Definitely those are for free. There is no evidence that they paid the bill.
How cheap they are? Living a privileged life but Begging for food to serve others.
Whoa! Wait up! They didn’t even PAY for the pizzas?
@honeybee, your comment makes absolutely sense! Another cb noticed the very careful wording of the article: they delivered, they carried… not to mention their photos that show the pizza’s brand!! I just can’t!
I think the rescue team went to the rugby club? They’re all wearing the same red jackets.
The pizza van is probably part of the rugby club facilities for fans to buy food from.
The pizza van seems to be a food truck that travels around, so not part of the club. But might have been on the club grounds or nearby.
It is a charity. https://www.cbmrt.org.uk/
The sad thing is that most UK organisations like this do depend on donations and volunteers. Should have given the pizzas to them.
I mean, there’s some sort of improvement. Let’s encourage it! That’s one small step for Wales, one giant leap for Willy and Katy.
This is probably their first practical gesture of compassion in 40 years. And it owes a lot to Meghan’s American charitable manners.
If these two can learn to move away from their uptight caste system worldview, hey!
Looks like those were the folks they spent the day with, the rescue team. The venue was the rugby club. What I found curious, after glimpsing that very sad excuse for pizza, is that Kate & Will just piled the boxes on a table. They didn’t distribute a couple of boxes per table, look inside to what they had & who wanted what, just plopped the boxes down. And we don’t see anybody actually eating those pizzas. Which I can understand–they are pretty sad looking, ‘ketchup on a tortilla’ per Kaiser’s tweet, plus they’re not sliced! Photo op all the way. But at least we have confirmation, somebody on their staff reads CB!
Italian migration to Wales goes way back – there are tens of thousands of people there whose origins lie in Italy. Haven’t looked at the pizzas so can’t say if they look sad but if they do, it’s not due to lack of Italian genes.
Those resemble the small personal pan pizzas that serve one person if you don’t want to split a large pie.
Well, they did say it was Little Dragon Pizza… they just didn’t show you how smol the dragon cooking the pizzas actually is.
As an American, I was very surprised by how Italians make pizzas in Italy. I have no idea what the background of those Little Dragon cooks are, but the pizzas look a lot more Italian than what I grew up with in different parts of the US. US pizzas tend to be bigger, have tons of cheese and lots of toppings. Italians tend to have smaller pizzas with a lot less (especially less cheese) on top.
Yes, the pizza shown in the photo above looks more like Italian pizza than American pizza. American pizza not only has more toppings but the crust is much thicker and chewier. More sauce too.
American here and I grew up on the most fabulous large, thin crust, spare ingredients Italian pizza ever. It was made at the first pizzeria in town by an Italian immigrant. You can’t define American Pizza by one type, or one type of crust (!).
Also, you absolutely do see large pizzas in some sit-down Italian restaurants (in Italy). The welsh pizzas here look more like the personal pizzas that are meant to be taken away, folded up and eaten in the street on the go.
@Mary Have lived in Italy and never saw an actual Italian eating on the street – except gelato eaten in proximity to the gelaterria. It is not bella figura to do so.
American style pizza is best treated as it’s own category 🙂
I find there is a lot of variety in American pizza, especially these days. You can find the big, cheese-smothered ones but you can also find small ones from wood-fired ovens with thin crispy crust topped with things like arugula and mushrooms and very little cheese.
I went to school in a town with a few famous pizzerias. This was back in the 80s and 90s. Glorious thin crispy crust! But yes, quite a bit of cheese too.
I’m sure the pizzas were welcomed but damn they never get it right. I’m sure the baby bank Kate visited this week would’ve appreciated a donation of any type. They are truly void of real compassion.
Willnot and Kannot have been getting unusual amounts of negative press lately. With Wales: they accepted the PoW titles about 20 minutes after receiving them. They do not speak Welsh, know the history, or have a connection to the country. Remember when W&K visited last year? On which day? The Welsh have outed their displeasure. And CRex wants Willnot to have a major party with his investment…my guess is that the optics have gotten through to someone at KP and they’ve start “image building.” At least these two like rugby, right?
Again, I’m perfectly fine if the Brits are satisfied with this level of output and impact for their money. Just don’t be upset when Harry and Meghan make boss moves.
Some of us are very much not happy with these two scroungers (or the rest of them).
Wow, they both look super ragged in these pics.
Yeah Kate looks the worst I have seen her, Her face looks puffy, and her eyebrows 😳. She seems to have really aged or is this when they don’t photoshop her?
The lack of photoshop. I said this below, but you can tell bc in some of these pics its photoshopped, and in others its not.
Like they each came down Snowdon on their faces. How does she go in for all these beauty days and still end up looking like a melted candle? I guess it’s true what they say – hate ages a b*tch…well, that and falling out of every nightclub in London through the entirety of one’s 20s…
@Where’sMyTiara: Exactly. All that hard partying in her twenties now shows up on her face like 30 miles of bad road. Add to that, decades spent lying in the sun on yachts and beaches and here’s the result.
My first thought was “Ugh, those faces!” Then, I when I saw the photo of Kate with her mouth agape, I thought, “Oh, NOW I see why she always poses that way.” It really does smooth out her skin in a way that her resting (ahem) face doesn’t.
There are a bajillion comments on Twitter about how bad she looks and how all her ugly inside is showing on her outside.
Plus, Khate wearing that awful straight hair wiglet. Apparently, she’ll never stop with the Meghan-cosplay. 🙄
Im convinced the palace places these reporters there on purpose and that these questions were palace approved just so they can pretend that william “just gets on with it”
He didn’t fly off the handle at the reporter; that’s a tell. That’s how you know he was expecting it, and that reporter was just set dressing, nothing more.
The real talk is coming out of the courtrooms.
So they visit a food bank and bring…no food. But then visit a bunch of randos watching rugby in what looks like a pub that probably serves food and they…bring food. Bahahaha they are sooooo bad at this.
And, may those shouted questions about Harry and the secret settlement follow the incandescent penis with teeth every where he goes. Hahahaha. I love this for them. Meghan is slaying on the other side of the globe while these two boring, ineffectual bozos are rocking with the stupidest advisors known to humankind.
Talk about the undeserving poor! Most rugby clubs own or lease their premises and sell heavily discounted food and drink.
And charged it to the Duchy aka taxpayers. It is never their own money that they donate.
Interesting that in their smallish crowd outside, I spotted maybe one Welsh flag.
I’m surprised they didn’t kidnap…err, I mean bus in small children to wave flags and shout “he’s our prince.” /s
So they brought 10 single serving size pizzas to a pub that serves food?
😂 😂 😂
Exactly!
Baby steps. Perhaps in another 40 years, the WanK will bring a box of diapers for needy babies. Baby steps with those two.
Oh look at us bringing food to a rugby team that surely can afford food. Their lack of awareness and a crap PR team are just absolutely ridiculous to say the least! They are an embarrassment.
My goodness they both look awful actually .
Lots of stress happening in that family .
I dont care,they have brought it all on themselves.
Yeah..Kate has a really haggard face in the pic with the red jacket… side note, in the last pic, Kate looks adoringly at will but he looks elsewhere… anywhere but Kate..
I do wonder if Will knows Kate even exists. He never looks at her.
My take on seeing these photos is this: As they have aged William has lost *all* the looks he ever had and has become quite unattractive. Whereas Harry has come into his own and is a very handsome man. I’m sure William is keenly aware of that and it is part of the reason, (part), that he so loudly and repeatedly HATES Harry.
oh this was so cringeworthy to me, because it was so performative and it was so obviously an attempt to copy H&M. And once again it fell flat. You know why? bc when H&M bring food to an organization or provide food trucks to emergency workers etc we only find out about it after the fact. The organization will make a comment about it on social media or something. Pictures arent released of H&M making the moment all about them. Even Meghan’s lunch last month for the charity – whose name escapes me – there were paparazzi pictures but the actual restaurant pictures were relesaed after the fact and were about the charity, not about “H&M buy food!!! Look at the food! Look at Meghan serving the food!!” etc
Also, LOL at those pictures, because DM posted one or two that were NOT photoshopped and the difference between the photoshopped pictures and non-touched up pictures is super super super obvious. SUPER OBVIOUS people lol. And the DM had it front and center!!! she ticked someone off for sure lol.
I can’t really understand how someone who is several years younger than me can look several years older than me – she has access to the best beauty treatments money can buy and its still not enough. Its obvs just by looking at her her body is lacking in basic nutrients – the skin and hair scream it.
I’m not usually one who thinks Kate looks 10 or 15 years older than she is, even without photoshop – I just generally think the difference between the lack of photoshop and photoshop is really jarring and she would be better served to just not be photoshopped. No one looks at Anne and thinks “omg she looks so old!” because Anne looks her age and its fine and that’s how Anne looks, you know? So Kate having PS in all her pics does her a disservice. Like I’m 41 and I look 41 (I actually think i look a little younger than 41 now that I still have my pandemic weight and my face is nice and full, hahahahha) and there is nothing wrong with that.
That said, in the one pic from yesterday I absolutely thought she looked closer to 60 than 40 and I thought “hoooooo boy someone at the DM is not happy with her.”
Even today, KP’s IG posted a picture of her and William in Wales and that was not touched up, at all. It’s from a distance but even so.
I cringed in second-hand embarrassment watching the video. They cordoned off a huge area surround the pizza van, stop the car, K&W get out with all their security, they walk up to the van & I guess place their orders (I had the sound off) or say they’re here to pick up their order, then walk turn around with 12 boxes in their hands & walk… back to the car? Don’t know, but total setup, total photo op, totally pathetic.
This was just so full of cliche’s of things considered ‘welsh’ – outdoors sports in the Breacon’s, visit a rugby club for a few drinks….
As someone yesterday noticed neither has done anything recently with their patronages, esp kHate.
I expect we will see more of these kinds of trips to Wales ahead of his investiture – they haven’t announced when it is but I imagine they will wait to see how things land with the coronation next weekend.
Those pictures of Keen are rough on the eyes.
Jesus Kaiser you and the other posters on here are telling them what they need to do and lo and behold! Well… they’re attempting to look as if they’re doing something.
Yes they’re reading these posts!
So where’s our cheques W&K? hmm? Maybe we should throw in a few ‘distractions’ to see if they do that also?
We should all be putting a copyright on our post ideas then if they do it – ding ding ding
It’s good to see them bring some food for once. Maybe they didn’t like being criticised for going to engagements empty handed.
The article says they ordered 22 pizzas but they’re only carrying 12 boxes. Either they made someone else carry them, because you know they didn’t make a second trip, or possibly the food truck wasn’t able to complete the order with supplies on hand. It doesn’t sound like they placed the order in advance.
To defend the pizza place, I’m pretty sure what they serve is much closer to the Italian standard than most pizza that is consumed in the US.
They are repacking themselves as Harry and Meghan minus the star power. They are adopting all the great things H&M did to look more normal. This will only increase after the coronation…
If you don’t want to see them everywhere I would suggest ignoring them. It’s like now derrangers and rota saying H&M are irrelevant but can’t stop talking about them. Don’t help the Cambridges..
Comparing them to Harry and Meghan only elevates these two.
Harry and Meghan are the.blueprint and they are in a completely different dimension.
I don’t mean this to come across as mean, but out of all the places/groups they’ve visited “recently”, THIS is the one they want to bring things to? Not the Ukraine refugees? Not the babies? Not the youth/immigrant organization? But the rugby club?
This.
Next week’s Billy and bunty highlights, will be filmed at the palace showing us all how to make single size pizzas (10 off) feed 32 hungry people. The only difference is I’m afraid dear subject’s, is you will have to buy the ingredients yourself, unlike them who claim it all from you tax payers. Enjoy more of their “how to” – (fk you all over) in the weeks to come
*In my Jack Donaghy voice,* Good God! Whoever wrote that Meghan was trying to look like her should swiftly delete that article and issue a front page apology now.
@wigletofwales, THIS ☝️☝️☝️
Will making Kate carry 7 pizza boxes while he carries 5 really sums up their relationship
They both look so ugly and rough. Like, wholly unretouched photos!
Say what you want about the Waleses but you don’t need to be so mean about the pizza business.
I agree. You can’t taste food from a photo. I hope the pizza truck at least gets a bit of a bounce from this. W&K should do more stuff like this.
FWIW most places mountain rescue is done by extremely skilled and experienced folks, who are mostly volunteers. It’s a dangerous job. Pizza for them is appropriate. It just shouldn’t be a one-off.
Though one really has to wonder what it is with the Windsors and pizza anyway…:)
Ps I had assumed the pizzas would have been for the mountain rescue people. But they’re for the rugby club! Don’t the mountain rescue people deserve snacks too?! It needs to be either snacks for all, or snacks for none I think.
Some very careful wording in the articles about this. They “delivered” pizzas. They “carried” pizza boxes. They “collected” pizzas. I’m not seeing any yet that outright say that W&K were the ones to buy them.
They would have used Duchy (AKA taxpayer) money or their staff pressured the pizza place to donate them.
Whew! They are both so unattractive. They should never allow the release of any unaltered photos. Poor hideous creatures, photoshop may be their only friend.
I suppose performative philanthropy is better than no philanthropy at all.
The problem has other said is that the article didn’t say that they paid for the pizzas (they most probably pressure the pizza place to donate as it already happened) and they are for the team, not the rescue people. It’s not even performative philantropy, it’s a straight up lie.
So I’m guessing that these are NOT the photoshopped pictures. Whew. They both look haggard and tired.
They’ve been reading our comments !!!
LAMO !!! 😂 😂 😂
Hahahahaha, Flower, I think you may be right. Hopefully it will serve to remind them that real people are not fooled for a minute by their feeble attempts to be “one of us”! Also, if Wiglet is reading this, please don’t wear that cursed ring everywhere you go. Outdoor and sporting occasions do not require it, and it is a constant reminder of how Pegginton was so ambivalent about marrying you that he couldn’t even be bothered to get you your own ring, and gave you the embodiment of his Mother’s marital misery!
Performative BS and of course shots of Kate looking adoringly at William. Of course. None of him looking at her though. You can tell he doesn’t want to be there.
Aw, look…they brought something for someone else.
Are they not “treating” the mountain rescue team in return after spending the afternoon being hosted by them? William is showing to a pizza to guys wearing the rescue team gear. That would make sense as a way of saying “thank you.” Definitely something Meghan would do.
I can’t believe she wore Big Blue to go abseiling. Insane!
But then again this is Kate and that ring is probably surgically attached to her finger for all time.
Disappointed but not surprised that only one reporter asked W about his secret settlement with The Hun. The monarchy will never be abolished or financially reformed with this level of deference from reporters and the public.
There is a big difference between Italian pizza and Italian-American pizza, and these do look more Italian to me. (Italian pizza often has a very thin crust, small number of toppings, etc). And there is quite a significant Italian-heritage population in South Wales due to a wave of immigration around 100 years ago (no idea if the van owners are Italian-heritage though). But yes the pizzas probably do look a bit sad by American standards.
That’s what l was comparing this to, American standards, because this smaller size is known as a personal pan pizza for one person here in New York compared to our large pies. But in Italy and other countries, l realize that this is the standard size.
Looks like William has been practicing his jazz hands, too.
Was that FOUR top of the range expensive outdoor jackets?
Her skin is painful to look at. Too much dieting, cigarettes, sun and stress. 15 pounds would do her wonders and she may need an early facelift. She’s a few years younger than me and looks ten years older.
How about as Prince of Wales, William starts giving 10% of the money he gets to a foundation for the benefit of the Welsh people? Yearly?
So weak, so nothing, such an empty waste of time both of them.
Why is it always so cold on that island. That must be depressing. Always wet and windy. I would have permanent winter blues if I had to live there.
Let’s not pick on the whole place just because some jerks live there! We have our share of jerks here in the states too 😃
The UK is further north than the US, but the temperature is warmer due to the jet stream. But less sunshine for sure.
I’d give my eyeteeth to visit Wales, it looks like an incredibly beautiful country.
Been there, it is stunning. And the Welsh people are lovely.
I’ve been dying to visit Cornwall, which has one of the mildest British climates thanks to its location. And it’s gorgeous to boot…
Brit here. We go to Cornwall most years and Wales a lot, too. The Gower is stunning. They are beautiful places, but Cornwall in particular has become overrun with tourists (and I’m one of them). Cornwall relies on tourism to an extent. It isn’t a rich place. But I can see it must be horrible to be overwhelmed by holiday makers for the summer months. Several people also have holiday homes down there, which does nothing for the local economy when the houses lie empty for months on end and take away accommodation from local families. I know two couples with Cornish second home properties. I put my foot in it with both on this issue!
I just watched the video & I think it’s hilarious that the crowd starts cheering the Wails for carrying pizza boxes. That’s not applause worthy. And the Wails are probably patting themselves on the back, thinking they’re a huge success, because normally they would have a servant carry the pizza boxes, and they did it all by themselves. Just like the peasants.
They brought something. A rare occurrence. Let’s just acknowledge that.
Pizza looks different around the world. Let’s not apply an American standard as the default. When we do, we sound painfully British.
Cathy is
carrying more boxes because she is better coordinated and perhaps stronger. Willy is weighted down by a hidden million pounds he has hidden somewhere on his person.
https://www.insider.com/pizza-styles-around-the-world-2017-11
That was really interesting, thanks! Looks like you can order pizza anywhere in the world & get something different but really yummy.
I feel obligated to state that I lived in Italy for 2 years and over there, pizza looks a LOT more like the pizza W&K brought, than typical American pizza. I’m not going to say that American pizza bears little resemblance to actual Italian pizza, but I will say that you would NEVER see stuffed crust pizza in Italy.
I ALSO feel obligated to mention that it seems kind of ridiculous to criticize W&K for bringing what some thought were insubstantial pizza, when before we were criticizing them for NOT bringing anything.
It’s like, they don’t bring, we criticize. Then they DO bring, and we criticize?
I don’t think that there is any such thing as a “typical American pizza.” As I commented above, there is no one type of American pizza. Personally, I have never tried, or ever seen, a stuffed-crust pizza! Not all Americans eat pizza from fast food delivery places or restaurants, or like pizzas with thick crusts and a ton of toppings.. I don’t know why I am insulted but I am!!! Now, I am from the West Coast but where are the New Yorkers speaking up for their thin-crust pizzas?!
By “typical American pizza”, I am referring to the large, national chains, such as Pizza Hut and Domino’s, and Papa John’s, that are found throughout the country and vary little from state to state. All three chain’s pizza, for example, resemble each other very closely, with an emphasis on pizza size and amount of toppings, as opposed to quality of the crust and quality of toppings. And THAT is the primary difference I was alluding to; that the big American chains emphasize quantity while pizza in Italy emphasizes quality of ingredients. That and I found Kaisers criticism of the pizza as insubstantial to be nitpicking and unwarranted.
And obviously I’m not suggesting that quality pizza doesn’t EXIST in the US.
I don’t consider New York thin crust pizza to be “typical American pizza”, because it’s distinctive to New York, not available throughout the country.
You are absolutely allowed to be offended by my pizza comment, after all, I was offended by Kaisers.
@typical Virgo what is “American Pizza.” Have you eaten pizza in New York? 🤦🏽♀️
Gingerbee- to answer your questions in order;
– see my reply to Mary above
– yes
The criticism is justified, either way. They bring pizza to people who can well afford them, (A nice gesture if I’m being generous, but in reality, it’s a really obvious photo op where it’s possible they didn’t even pay for the pizzas), but not to the food banks or to the refugee centers they visit where there is a real need? But this is dumb and dumber we’re talking about and their awful advisors who most definitely read this site. We all have given them direct “how to” suggestions on this site regarding how to do charity work to get tangible results and they still screw it up every time. So yeah, I will happily point that out and laugh at them until they get their head out of their asses. It’s not like it their job or anything on the UK tax payers dime. Oh wait.
Keri- it’s your opinion that the criticism is justified. I could spend all day criticizing W&K and that wouldn’t be nearly enough time to discuss all their fucked up fuckery.
But I’m not going to criticize them for bringing pizza to some rugby players in Wales. I’ll criticize them for NOT bringing pizza/supplies/diapers/whatever to the various depleted charities that they grace with their presence.
And we could send Kate “how to effectively run a charity for the greatest possible impact” manuel and even if it was on doily paper and the words were formed with tiny buttons, Kate wouldn’t care, her staff wouldn’t care. Over there, they’re not TRYING to be effective, they just want to LOOK like they’re being effective while doing as little as possible. That’s it
I have to agree that they prob read the articles and comments on here :). There’s a comment about the Crypto Arena suites and the next day it’s a headline on DM(lots of laughs).
So many commenters have also mentioned how lazy WK are. And now we see photo ops of them thinking they’re workaholics. But we all know: either you have a sincere/genuine work ethic or you’re forced to work because public opinion has turned sour on you. They’re no different than the Kardashians calling the Paparazzi for staged/scripted photo ops and PR. In WK case, trying to convince people they’re working (haha)
Well if it acknowledges that taking something, anything, for the folks tolerating their ‘visit’ it has to be welcomed.
My guess is Ma Middleton remembered an Oscars ceremony a few years back when the hosts surprised the audience with free pizzas all round. Perhaps we’ll see something more original next time from, these, the British Kardashians.
They bring pizza to rugby players, but nothing to baby bans or food banks?
He still won’t look at her, will he? As hard as she tries
In Italy pizza is “junk” food. That’s the history. Just something leftovers on bread.
Now that british pizza is a restaurants attempt to scrimp on the ingredients. You see how they threw it on. It makes it look like it’s a lot but it’s not. One slice gets an olive and another slice doesnt.
