Ordered pizza tonight. A very rare treat. Had one slice and as I was turning away to deal with ds2, ds1 (5) smothered my fucking pizza with sauce.

i don’t know wtf he was thinking either

and I know he’s five but fgs

And I know no big deal really but I was REALLY looking forward to just chilling with pizza and not having to cook for fucking once!

That’s unkind behaviour from a five year old. Is there more to this?

soverypissedoffnow · 22/12/2025 18:22

More to it as in what, sorry?

I’m not being rude or anything, just genuinely am not sure what you mean!

Which sauce? As in the pizza still in the box?

soverypissedoffnow · 22/12/2025 18:26

It was in the box as we were just eating out of boxes.

Ketchup. I know, still edible but I really don’t want pizza smothered in ketchup 🤢

Do you mean he squirted ketchup all over it or something? I don't know what sauce you would have with pizza. Very annoying though, could you get most of it off?

EchoedSilence · 22/12/2025 18:26

What sort of sauce?

EchoedSilence · 22/12/2025 18:26

Can you scrape some of it off?

ShawnaMacallister · 22/12/2025 18:28

All over your pizza and not his? Or were you sharing? He's 5, he didn't mean to. I appreciate the sadness though.

Dollybantree · 22/12/2025 18:29

Aw come on, he’s five! Annoying I know but kids do silly stuff all the time. What did you say to him?

It was over my pizza. I don’t know what he was thinking, probably thought he was doing me a favour. But 🤢

Oh I overreacted although I did apologise. I know, kids just are really annoying. Which is why I’m venting here! But 😠

Hopefully you can get a refund (on the kid)… and enjoy your pizza in peace 🤣😘

I'd just throw the whole child out tbh, straight in the bin.

On the off-chance you decide not to chuck him away, I totally understand how annoying it is. DD once poured a shit load of salt on my tea while I was getting DS a drink, her reasoning was that I like salt (so why wouldn't I like the entire contents of the shaker...?) Will the ketchup scrape off or are there any slices less covered that you could still eat?

Personally, I'd write off and go get myself a fresh one once they're in bed.

Well what do you think she means?

soverypissedoffnow · 22/12/2025 18:39

Who are the 40% of people who think I’m being unreasonable to be fucking gutted my rare indulgence was ruined? Have you no soul? 😭🤣

Largestlegocollectionever · 22/12/2025 18:41

You said a slice?
so one slice was ruined? I presume the rest of the pizza was ok?

ItsameLuigi · 22/12/2025 18:44

This is why I plate up pizza. I'm not having their little fingers all on my food 🤣

Straight in the bin.

Or, if you’re feeling generous, empty his little piggy bank to order another one.

SillyNavyTiger · 22/12/2025 18:46

Where did he get the ketchup from?

I would be disappointed, but i"ll just order another pizza 😂

No, I wouldn’t have been bothered about one slice. He drowned my entire pizza in ketchup.

I sympathise OP, ketchup has no place on a pizza.

It’s the swearing making me think YABU. I know this is just Mumsnet but still 👀 it’s tomato sauce on a tomato pizza, I’m sure you can scrape it off

How is this confusing for you 😂 what else could he have done to get ketchup on the pizza?

Genius.
