    A large pizza chain, it costs about $1 to make a large cheese pizza. Cheese is re-used as much as possible.

        If it was poured on the pizza and fell off, it’s picked back up and put back in the bin if the health department allows it.

              I mean the pizza is going into 500f,it’ll be fine. I’m all for reuse instead of waste when possible.

              Pizza is junk food anyway, so it’s not like you’re expecting gourmet cheese.

              Less waste is good IMO

              imo solid tabletops are much better for pizza making. i’ve worked at a few places and in practice those pans get ACTUALLY cleaned much less often than a regular ass table does.

      To be fair, from a food-conservation standpoint, I’d expect cheese (and other materials) to be re-used. No need to throw it away just because it fell on a reasonably clean surface, especially prior to baking.

        They shower the pizza with cheese, and any cheese that doesn’t land on top of the pizza is collected and used for the next. Pretty standard practice when making food
