Fairly sure the smart option is to order online, that way you dont need to use any words at all. Then prank-call a pizza-place and make them say bubbles. If you do phone the place, it would help to look up their menu and use a menu as the base which already is as similar to your order as possible. The person who said he couldn't eat dairy was really smart there btw, as that is probably a very common request to the pizza places.

@@amplexumpessimus5027 I've never heard anyone call a pizza a pie before in the US. Is it a Canadian thing?

[@DangitManee]

Just say “what are your pork topping options?” Then when they say which one say “that one!”

[@Zedja]

To get the pizza itself you can call it a big pie. And to say bubbles, just ask for a drink with bubbles and repeat that it's important that it has bubbles.

[@ThalesWell]

I know the sauce is made with tomato, but who wouldn't hear "no tomato" and simply not add fresh tomatoes as a topping, rather than think to remove the sauce entirely?

[@HOTD108_]

Um, did you not listen to the task? They were told specifically to have the sauce removed.

It's a vegetarian's "cheat day pizza". Cheating on their vegetarian diet that is.

[@UnbornHeretic]

Vegetarian is not the adjective of the pizza, it is what the pizza with vegetables on it is called. Like ordering a meat lovers pizza with peppers. Or like ordering a hawaiian pizza with pepperoni.

Describing all the topping without naming them is the hard part. I don't think I've ever said the word Pizza when ordering Pizza, though I am of course ordering from a menu, so I'll just say a "Calzone" or a "Capricciosa" or whatever.

While they did work around the word pizza well enough, they could have easily just said pie. Pizza means pie, and it's a term we use here in the States all the time.

[@CertifiedSlamboy]

If you say "pie" in a pizza restaurant here it might cause them to wonder what you're talking about. If it's a shop that does a mix of food (kebabs etc as well) then it would completely throw them off as they might actually sell hot meat pies.
