All this talk of pizzas and eating are making you forget the true way of the zen pizza.
Stage 1: Ingredients; Everything is there, but needs to be put together. IE dough, peppers, ANCHOVIES(being argumentative for the sake of it.)
Stage 2: The pizza is there in its full glory. You can see it, smell it, even imagine tasting it, knowing the fullness of the pizza.
Stage 3: Fat monk stroking his belly. At this point you have experienced the ultimate pinnacle of zen pizza, and understand the fullness of the moment. (Although a beer always helps it along.)
Know these rules my children, and everything in life will be yours.
Remember, the truth is that there is no pizza, only a fat monk stroking his belly.
