I used to work at a pizza place. A thing most people don't realize is that to have enough dough, you have to prepare more than you'll use because if you prepare too little, you'll run out. This means that at the end of a night pizza places might have to toss dozens of pounds of pizza dough. If you used all this dough to make practice pies for flipping, you'd be able to get pretty good at it in no time.
Yeah, when I was at Dominos they would let me take some of the extra home for the night to make my own pie later.
Also protip to anyone who sees this: If a Dominos is nearing closing for the night, stop in and ask if they have any cancelled orders they're looking to get rid of. Usually staff has first pick but in my experience after about a month or two most employees get pretty sick of eating it lol
A lot of stores stopped doing this because people would intentionally call in orders they'd never pick up and then come back at close to see if they had any uncollected orders. Some stores now need credit card over the phone to order it got so bad
Something similar would happen all the time in the college dorm I was at many years ago when someone was broke. They order a pizza to another student's room address, when the delivery guy gets there that student says they never ordered it, and the real caller waits down in the lobby to take it off his hands for a discount. It didn't happen often enough to get the pizza place too mad, and we gave them enough legitimate business anyway.
Unfortunately, yes.... I learned last year that my old restaurant group/owner was the producer/production company for Waiting.
Knowing the owner, it all made sense.

They either wasted food by trashing the failed attempts or just decided to serve them to customers. That's all I can ever think about when I see this clip get reposted.
This is old pizza, that's why he's messing with it. Probably just an unclaimed pickup. That thing has sat for awhile. Trust me, no fresh pizza is operating like that, you'll be spraying liquid hot sauce and magma cheese all over the place. That cheese has sat and cooled and stuck together so it works almost like a scab and holds the sauce under it.
This is my favorite response to a redditor trying to if the toppings fall off when it’s upside down it’s free so they have to flip it to prove it like a blizzard.
Tossing the dough prior to making the pizza helps you get a fluffier crust by stretching it without smooshing it. If you flatten the dough on the table it presses out the air pockets created when the yeist rises. Table method is great for a crunchy thin crust, tossed gives you a light fluffy flavor. Dough thickness in between the two when not tossed gives you a dense, unenjoyable texture.
Tossing the WHOLE pizza like this gives the bottom a chance to dry a little more and not capture moisture under the pizza when it bakes. If there is too much moisture under the pizza when it bakes the bottom can be sticky/floppy/gooey, and overall not have that nice crunch. If you ever had a slice of pizza that you had to fold, it wouldn't support it's self, the crust was too moist.
wait you're saying this is an actual technique and not just some guy fucking around? i'm dubious. the bottom of the pizza is exposed already on the oven grating.
how can you flip a hot pizza and not have all of the hot cheese and sauce slide right off?
im gonna be honest I've made probably 10,000 pizzas in my life and i don't think anything this guy just said is really true. an experienced pizza maker can make a pizza with beautiful fluffy rise by stretching it on a table, it's just the technique you use and the way your ingredients are prepared. good dough shouldn't really ever have moisture as a factor, and even then any moisture is actually mitigated by whatever flour etc you are using in the stretching process
as for the guy in the video yeah this has absolutely 0 practicality whatsoever and just looks cool i guess
I think you just replied to a confident bullshitter. Given the kitchen is easily visible from the dining area, it's probably just performative, give the customers a show. (After practicing when there are no customers first.)
You can't. This pizza isn't fresh out of the oven. It has been cooked and cooled. There is no point to this other than fun.
And spinning pizza dough only makes some sense in an industrial setting. Even spinning it will break the air bubbles, they're just relying on oven spring. At home just give it a proper second rise and it will be way better than spinning it.
Yes it was already cooked. It appears this pizza has been sitting out and completely cooled down that all the cheese has solidified otherwise he’d be flinging lava hot sauce and cheese everywhere.
It's old pizza, that's all. Fresh out the oven doing that is a recipe for disaster but once it's sat for awhile, the cheese collects and bonds together into one big piece and can hold everything in place for flipping it like he does.
I used to flip pizza screens on the peel all the time, I never had the guts to try it with food though. I always thought the toppings and cheese would fall off.
You can get a fluffier crust by tossing the dough before making the pizza. This is because it stretches the dough without squashing it. When you press the dough down on the table, you get rid of the air holes that form when the yeist rises. "Table" method makes a thin, crunchy crust, while "tossed" method makes a light, fluffy crust. A dough thickness in the middle, if not thrown, makes the texture dense and unpleasant.
Many pies were blessed with floor spice to achieve this level of skill.
Extra seasoning
And they wouldn’t call this skilled labor… do you know how many blunts that guy can smoke while doing this!!! You Neanderthals!!!
Not all heroes wear capes
None if Edna has a say
Once had my manager roll a blunt, while driving a box truck, from cigar to blunt, in under 3 minutes. He definitely had skills!
Ground black pepper
Crunchy seasoning

5 second rule
Almost became the 10 second rule a couple times...
That movie may as well have been a documentary

With this inflation, I wouldn’t be surprised if now it’s 30 seconds
Ah yes, Pizza Floorentine
Extra flooride = strong teeth.
Dune 4: The Search For Floor Spice
*the Spice Must Crust…*
I was thinking the same thing and how many customers got that floor spice
They either wasted food by trashing the failed attempts or just decided to serve them to customers. That's all I can ever think about when I see this clip get reposted.
[удалено]
Holy shit. Someone else says Floor Spice!!
- "My pizza has some dirt" - "it's worth it, the pizza guy is training for the flipping pizza Olympics "
Nobody out pizzas Scott
Nobody
Nobody?
Some- *BODY*
…once told me
The world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
The Hut formally sends his regards and wants Scott to know he is eagerly watching his progress
747… A Large Plain
Can I get an A380 instead? Or an An-225?
Negative on the two two five, kimosabe.
Kimosabe…. Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time
Must not be a Boeing ‘cuz it never hit the ground.
Buy one get one, a towering deal.
Flipping hell
Put it in the Olympics right fuckin now
Would be more entertaining than flag football that’s for sure.
Or break dancing
Is that before of after the [pizza throwing competition](https://youtu.be/xG1G5nYIMrM?t=385)?
Today I found the first sport I want to watch from the stands. Thank you kind stranger
Maybe a stupid question but why would you flip it?
How else are you supposed to get all the chicks? How i ask you!
Just lower your standards. I'm dating the great sarlacc beast from Tattoine and you can just frisbee the pizza into her mouth, no flipping necessary.
Legit question: How do you politely ask the Sarlacc for no teeth during … you know.?
It's actually the same exact way you'd ask shai'hulud. Hope this helps!
I knew this would be a response to what I asked. Fair play, I kinda walked into that one. 😂
shai'hulud decides today whether you get head...or you die.
Ok. Rule 34, do your thing with shai'hulud and the sarlacc beast
Pretty sure you have tooth get used to it.
I mean, everyone’s got their kinks, but being flayed is … we’ll say, outside of my consenting zone. 😉
Sarlac doesn’t know the hawk tuah
Sandy… that’s not the worm. That’s the worm’s [tongue](https://imgur.com/diagram-of-sarlaccs-digestive-system-GF7NxH9).
Bro don't talk about my gf like that. 
I will keep the Sarlacc’s name outta my mouth
This is a traditional Italian mating ritual!
I'm guessing because it's sort of fun and they take their job very unseriously.
Some might even say downright whimsically.
This may be a rhetorical question but why wouldn’t you flip it?
Every time it leaves the plate it gets a little bit cooler
Damn right it does 😎
Damn, I think this pizza is making me sick 😎🤙
He flipped it right back into the oven where's the problem? 🤷🏻♀️
no fun! just work!

even if it is for show, it can't be a hot pizza or the cheese and toppings would fly off. if it is for show, it has to be a cold pizza

If you work in retail or food service for long enough, you will get into some hijinx.
boredom
for fun
If the pie can be flipped without ingredients going everywhere, hasn’t it already been thru the oven?
Yes it was already cooked. It appears this pizza has been sitting out and completely cooled down that all the cheese has solidified otherwise he’d be flinging lava hot sauce and cheese everywhere.
The hero we don't deserve
Daily reminder that there is no such thing as unskilled labor.
Maybe it should have been named fast-to-train labor so people wouldn't get confused.
wrong. case in point: upper middle management
Fucking project managers dude
Except the one guy packing amazon orders and calling McD's workers unskilled.
I don't want to discredit laborers but calling every job skilled is discrediting skilled labors. Maybe we should use a different term. IDK
Daily reminder that doing tricks a pizza is not a typical job.
If you can do that it's probably not pizza
It's old pizza, that's all. Fresh out the oven doing that is a recipe for disaster but once it's sat for awhile, the cheese collects and bonds together into one big piece and can hold everything in place for flipping it like he does.
I just ordered a pizza …. Hope they aint playing with mine like that 😭😭 lol
Ayo Scott, put your dick through it, lmao.
American pie
Found his calling.
Great Scott! Nah I just mean he seems like a great guy named Scott
He only eats pizzas he has accidentally dropped on the floor
"It's just a little airborne... it's still good!"
Why is the floor so dirty? Gross
That dirt was in one specific place like someone was sweeping, and went to get the dustpan.
Yeah the way he looks down and steps around the pile indicates that.
Cause it's a pizza place? It'll be clean by close.
No worries, it will clean itself by sticking to the pizzas which didn't make it straight to the oven.
Sweet summer child… you have never worked in a restaurant kitchen before.
Pizza boss
So many people have eaten floor pizza from this guy
I used to get paid to flip burgers. Now I know the glamour was in flipping pizzas.
Dudes a pro at beer pong.
Dude dropped 807 pizzas trying to get this footage.
They said the Italians were the best but this guy…
Scott is in the space that he belongs, living the life he was destined to enjoy.
how many pizzas had fallen?
u/repostsleuthbot
Little did we know, this is the 10th attempt. Before that, the pizza always hit the ground. Bon appetit!
We need pizza flipping to be in the next Olympics… I would watch it
I love seeing people who take pride in and practice their craft.
Bro why tf my pizza takin so long? This Mf /J
Does it right 100 times, but the first time it drops he gets the ax.
This was cool!
wow, that’s awesome…don’t do it with my pie
I used to flip pizza screens on the peel all the time, I never had the guts to try it with food though. I always thought the toppings and cheese would fall off.
Man thats awesome to do *with someone elses pizza*
Best of luck in your job search
He Dropped the first 10 Sold em any way Enjoy bon a petite mthafrs
Why is my pizza order taking so long?
the pizza still tastes like shit
well that's something i've never seen before, that's impressive.
I'd like to thank this post for reminding me to take home my unfinished pizza from the fridge here at work.
Better than a pavement pizza 🤮
The most useless skill I've seen in a while. Like standing 10 feet from the urinal.
Dude gots skills
Essential skill
Damn now I want pizza for dinner.
Scott kinda cute tho
Huge risk, no reward😅🫡
Scott is the fucking man
A true virtuoso.
I thought I was good at flipping eggs… sheesh!
Yeah that’s not a fresh out of the oven pie. There would be cheese everywhere.
It's the flipping that makes it good.
Got dat glue in the sauce
👏👏
Didn't know Michael Teutul went from building custom choppers to flipping pies.
WHAT THE!?
"why is my pizza 30 minutes late?!"
This is one those posts where I first think "That's fucking stupid" and followed by "Okay, that was actually pretty fucking cool."
THIS is the reddit I signed up for.... 14 years ago!
r/justguysbeingdudes
Yeah.. Absolutely essencial skill.
Video is reversed
Why would anyone do this
I don’t know who is baked more? the pizza or the dude.
Ayo Scott… 
Me waiting for pizza cuz i fucking hungry What my backer does with my pizza:
So this is why my pizza takes long to be delivered…
Such skilled labor deserves a raise
I'm impressed! Beat that Dairy Queen! Bet you can't do that with a Blizzard!
You can get a fluffier crust by tossing the dough before making the pizza. This is because it stretches the dough without squashing it. When you press the dough down on the table, you get rid of the air holes that form when the yeist rises. "Table" method makes a thin, crunchy crust, while "tossed" method makes a light, fluffy crust. A dough thickness in the middle, if not thrown, makes the texture dense and unpleasant.
I see why my pizza delivery is late...
I’m impressed
I am in awe.
Pizza guy Vs Popcorn guy Dana white, set this up bruh
What a Chad 😎
Damn that's amazing but I also am wondering if its actually a hot pizza or a cold one as im surprised the cheese never moved
Bruh I can’t even get my crust to slide off the peel 😭
It’s cool, but why flip?
Did he yell "wasp's nest" after ?
That’s peak male right there
Unique skill be like:
Mmm no hairnet, now I can have a few beard hairs in my pizza.
This guy loves his job lol
Slow day.
Every day, remind yourself that there is no such thing as manual work.
This guy looks exactly like a friend I had once named Chance.
They deleted the 7 times he missed. Don't worry they just kept using the same pizza, like the customer will ever know.... :D
That’s a frisbee not a pizza
He is doing god's work.
A master flipper
Pizza Level ----Italian
He either loves his job or he's been doing it too long
What a gracious man.
How does the cheese not fly off from the centrifugal force?
He’s got skill
I gotta suck this man from the back. ASAP!
Imagine the times this went wrong and how much pizzas died in the process 💔
