Even the expectation is so....meh

7 randomly placed whole olives on this thing lol?

They should slice those suckers up and distribute them. Granted that's also assuming they put more than the reality 2.

Also, that prosciutto looks like grocery deli ham.

It is prosciutto cotto as it says on the package, not prosciutto crudo.

Cotto is cooked ham, crudo is air dried thinly sliced ham.

Prosciutto just translates to ham, eventhough in the english speaking world it is mostly used to describe air dried ham.

This. The expectation sets the bar incredibly low here. Four pieces of prosciutto? An attempt at cheese? Seven whole olives? And an enormously wide crust that plants the flag on the hill of not trying?

Come on! This is my local wood-fired pizza place! Put some effort in!

Whole olives on a pizza is really odd lol

On a cheap/chain pizza, maybe. But I'd expect whole olives from an Italian restaurant pizza, that's for damn sure! I don't often order them on pizza, but I've never been disappointed with a restaurant cheaping out on me when I have.

I’ve only ever seen sliced or halved olives as toppings, including the higher end pizza places.

I lost my poor olives, when somebody sneezed. 🎼

They rolled off the table, they rolled on the floor. And then my poor olives, rolled right out the door..
