"“Extra well-done pies can be difficult to make just because everyone has a different opinion about what that might be, and it can easily present as a burnt pizza depending on the customer,” he says."
"“Well-done” can mean a lot of things: Some folks might like that charred, near-burnt flavor, while others simply want an extra crunchy crust. Unless you clarify your request with your server, you might be served a pizza you deem inedible - or one that's simply “okay” when it could have been excellent."
"A well-done pizza has the potential to be quite delicious, so if you're a fan of crispy crust, it's definitely worth a try. Allowing the pizza to cook longer ensures the crust is cooked all the way through, giving it some extra depth and char, and it gives the cheese a lovely layer of golden brown deliciousness."
Pizza customization is common, including crust thickness and toppings. A key ordering mistake involves requesting “extra well-done.” Different pizzerias and customers interpret “well-done” differently, so the request can be confusing and may come out as overly burnt. Some people want a charred, near-burnt flavor, while others want a very crunchy crust. If the request is not clarified with the server, the pizza may be served in a way that tastes inedible or only mediocre. Cooking longer can create a fully cooked crust, more depth and char, and golden-brown cheese, but results depend on how the kitchen executes the specific preference.
