I found a post on here a while back for the original 90's style cafeteria pizza which had been hand written so I retyped the recipe and put some of my own notes, but the post never really took off and I never bothered to repost until now. So, for my cakeday, here is the world's most nostalgia inducing pizza but first, here is the original:
Remember slap bracelets? Those things were awesome! Whatever happened to those?
This one time in 3rd grade, this kid named Teddy and I were sitting at the lunch table having a gross out contest, he bet me a coke that I couldn't gross him out, I had tried everything in my arsenal, I tried putting lettuce in my nose, smearing apple sauce on my face and nothing! In my exasperation I threw my arms up and accidentally knocked over my chocolate milk into my salad. Then when I moved to clean everything up, he must have thought I was about to eat the now chocolate milky salad and said "Please no! I will get you a coke, just don't eat that!" So if you're out there Teddy, I am still waiting on my coke! And now without further ado, here is the converted recipe by yours truly:
I want to give a special shout out to @thefoodguru. I was going through some hard times when I first made my imgur account, but I enjoy cooking. Their award winning recipes was my first favorite post and with all the recipes to try, it kept me busy and out of my own head when I needed to be. So if you are still lurking around imgur, thanks @thefoodguru!

I wish I could find a pizza that tasted like this or the Mexican pizza.
CaverExtrordinaire
for any tomato based sauce it is always better made the day before
TheAdjuster
I feel like those Tostinos pizzas are pretty close to these. The ones that are like 1.50$ and now they are square.

This, I like.

My aunt was a lunchlady. She used to make us some of those chocolate PB bars. Man, those sound good about now. She used to

Give me a quarter for popcorn when she saw me in the lunch line.

I am honoured <3

The caraway seeds are the real heroes in this pizza. I'm going to make this this weekend
ArnTrek
Not caraway, but fennel seed in the Italian sausage.
charlottadupont
I guess it would be which sort of sausage was used. Ours were legit caraway seeds.Although, caraway are a type of fennel. We're both right!

This recipe fails to note that the cheaper the ingredients the better the pizza! There's good reason people love government cheese!

My MIL has cooked in a middle school cafeteria for 30 years. She refuses to use the "fancy" Walmart brand cheese on pizza.
kingkongkeom
I know where she goes goes shopping for cheese...
suck1t0p
I actually favorited it then, and put it in my recipes folder, @op! Still haven’t gotten around to making it :/

That doesn’t look like pizza at all. No thanks
TheSecondPiewackit
You're missing the qualifiers "elementary", "School" and "Cafeteria". Like how a Mexican Pizza from taco bell isn't a pizza.
Talldutchgirl
I guess it’s a murica thing? We don’t have this in Holland. Seriously
silentwolf1999
If she doesn't call you "Sugah" is she even a real lunch lady.

I loved the school pizza, because the rest of the time was garbage. Mystery meat and reconstructed turkey.
PerryCoxMD
When do I add the shredded newspaper?
jimmythehat1
I told many a lie to get extra servings of that pizza... we'd all swear to be each other's best friends to whoever would give us their pizza
byohzzrd
Where's the tiny cubes of "Pepperoni-flavored textured vegetable protein"? When do I add the orange grease?
pinatafarmer
Hooray for pizza day! I miss pizza day! The best day of the week!
RandAIFlagg
It always came with salad and a side of cold green beans!
Prinnly
The biscuits! is there a recipe for the biscuits!?!
Hurch
This takes more than 3 ingredients. I can't cook this!
ErniesWidow
The only thing I can remember from school lunches is the cookies.

That pizza may not have been brick oven fired, homemade mozzarella with deli fresh pepperoni but it was the beginning of my love affair
purple1pangolin
Well that brought me RIGHT back to elementary school.... I seriously thought that stuff was just a microwaved mess
seamusmcfly
It is terrible. I never understood why anyone liked it.
ForTheLoveofGodAndAllThatIsHolyMyAnusIsBleeding
Memories for sure, and possibly the best hot lunch offered. But come on Imgur, we can make, and are entitled to, better pizza than this!
Havacado
This post was never about better pizza. This post was about the best pizza.
EnderPanda13
I knew a kid that liked chocolate syrup on his hotdogs
Rubium
I need this pizza in my life... to the store!
kriswinters
That was good pizza, but not as good as the Mexican pizza from high school.
boobookttyfck
Pizza Hut stocked my high school cafeteria everyday at 11am

The octagon ones?

Oh yes, the Mexican pizza was good but the old style Mexican pizza that taco bell used to make was even better IMO
dtallen243
In my high school it was the spicy chicken sandwiches but took home ec all 4 years and class was always before or after lunch (1/2)
FLEDAN
Same!!! Damn those were good
dtallen243
Hit the salad bar for toppinhs
dtallen243
So would just eat whatever made in class (2/2)
ObliqueRay
'90s or 90s. Not 90's.
bigger66
that pizza is owned by the 90's, though
RunsWithScizrs
I didn't know the this way was incorrect. Thanks!
agermanguy
Did anyone ever cooked this pizza? Or are y'all just put it in your favourites?

I cooked one! It was a small challenge to find the powdered milk. The pizza was actually pretty good.
razmann

He & his brother (who own my building) get to discover Creole food. (They're from a mixed SE Asian family, so this should be fun.)
agermanguy
Sounds good. Do you have any recipes to share ?
SerenePrincess013
Once I get to cooking, yes. Literal pages of them.
xantous4201
Im only putting this oven in my house so YOU can cook for me, what kind of fucky ass deal is that? Context?

It's called being a sugar daddy
MarioBoon
So, you're gonna feed your boss and your landlord for free in your free time...
SerenePrincess013
That was supposed to say "landlord". And not for free. He's buying the ingredients. I'm just putting everything together.
MarioBoon
So you’re gonna be his free personal chef… red flag!
WillCorrectInaccuraciesForFood
Preparing food is skilled labor. You add value to those ingredients by preparing them skillfully. This is what is being provided for free
TheSecondPiewackit
The other guys replying are shortsighted. It doesn't hurt to make friends with your landlord or boss. Politics, yo.
xantous4201
But you are cooking for him for free? why? Charge his ass for the labor
TheSecondPiewackit
My friends will buy expensive cuts for me to cook. An American Wagyu ribeye is going to run about $50 a steak. My plate is my payment.

Did you know people are capable of being friends with one another. Strange concept, I know.
