First, you grab a pre-made base, which is already a win because homemade dough is for people with patience and a sourdough starter named “Gerald.” Asda hands you a blank slate, and suddenly you’re less a shopper and more an artist—except your medium is cheese and your critics are your kids, who will absolutely complain about the mushrooms.
I once watched a man load his base with so many jalapeños it looked like a green-mohawked punk rocker. The cashier didn't flinch. She just muttered, “Loaded,” with the reverence of a priest observing a miracle.
Topping choices: The great debate
Here’s the real magic: the toppings aren’t just edible—they’re a personality test. Do you grab the ham and pineapple? You’re a chaotic neutral, daring to split the room at every party. Do you go for extra pepperoni and nothing else? You’re reliable, like sweatpants, but also secretly boring. I respect it.
