    I bring my lunch everyday. So I would just politely turn it down.

    ^^^ This is also what I do.
    No one at work every seems to have a problem with it.

    If I wanted it, I'd fit it in. If not, I'd bring something else.

    This is what I've been bombarded with today - A coworkers last day is tomorrow so hooray, they are bringing in pizza..

    Not that I won't make room for pizza in my diet, I do - often. I own a pizzeria, it happens. I just don't like things being forced on me.. what would you do? Fit the pizza into your day or bring your own lunch?

    Ungracious rules of Ettiquette # 101:

    Owns pizzeria does not offer to bring in pizza.

    Bad business practices # 39:

    Owns pizzeria let's other's bring competitor pizza to her establishment.
    OR
    benefit of the doubt, lets OTHER pizza be brought to a place of business NOT her own, calling into question her need to work, the quality of her pizza and her marketing skills.

    actually considering rejecting the brought in pizza.

    Solution: Serve your Pizzeria's pizza. All the problems solved. Especially because you can then choose the ingredients and even bring one or one half topped with any number of vegetables you deem healthy. May I suggest Cauliflower and Kale?

    Ok laughed out loud, Just love love this response, totally agree :)

    The answer is turtles. It's always turtles (at least for questions like this one).

    Ok, ham, pineapple and jalapenos please.


    I'll take a large and expect my free pizza to be delivered with a smile.

    And it better be hot or I'm sending it back.

    Pineapples don't belong on a pizza. :wink:

    They do. Oh yes, they do.

    QFT..Love the pineapple and jalapeno combo..yummy..my mouth is watering now

    Pineapple and banana peppers is also a splendid duo.

    bring your own lunch

    No such thing as free. There's always a cost, in this case it's in calories rather than dollars. Just like if you're talking money, 1) do you have the calories to spend 2) if so do you wish to spend them on that particular food? Easy breezy.

    I had home made pizza yesterday for lunch and dinner so I'd probably bring my lunch with me or, as someone else suggested, bring a veggie tray to enjoy and share. If I found myself wanting pizza I'd fit it in, but I wouldn't eat it just because everyone else was if I didn't want it.

    Actually...more to the point...if she works in a pizzeria...aren't her co-workers...

    ...ALWAYS bringing/making pizza?

    I think you need to look up the definition of "being forced"

    Yeah, huh. Eat it and make it fit. Or don't, and be satisfied with whatever other choice you make. Then move on.

    Ta-dah!!
