Most? No.

You're right. All do.

Since you know your kids have weird taste about something basic, you should have specified you wanted a special pizza without their standard ingredients.

If you ordered a vegan pizza and they put real Parmesan cheese on it, then yes OP you can go in and ask for a replacement.

Did you even try the pizza?

It smelled VERY strong and was clearly finished with some sort of oil drizzle and additional cheese (parm?).

We ordered two plain cheese pizzas. Husband and me would eat them but kids don't want that.

So tell the kids to eat the pizza or go to bed without dinner. They are being irrationally picky. I wouldn't ask a restaurant to refund me if my kids are just being weird.

Kids can go to bed hungry then. Or you order and pay for something catering to your children's very specific aversions. Parmesan cheese on cheese pizza is incredibly normal.

Didn’t realize until we got in the car and it immediately reeked of garlic and Parmesan, which the kids won’t eat. I’m assuming we’re not the only family with an aversion to that on our pizza? I felt terrible going back in and requesting new and was worried the cooks would be ticked off.

Why would they care? You didn't ask for free new pizza, did you?

I did. I immediately gave the bartender a $5 tip and told her our kids had an aversion to parmesan and the oil. She offered me a free cocktail while I waited, so I don't think she was upset, but I felt awful for the cooks. It also seemed like it was a common request to not have pizzas finished how they finish them (oil and parm cheese). But it was our first time getting pizzas at this place near our kids' sporting event, so we had no prior experience to know to do that.

Did you not read the menu description? Was the secret sauce not mentioned? This is not quite adding up. A pizza on a busy Friday night will take a long time. How long did you wait at the bar for brand new pizzas?

I bet OP thinks her kids were born picky eaters.

Your kids won't eat olive oil/parmesan/garlic? WTF?

[Anonymous]

Wait - so DID you go back in and ask for new pizzas? And what was their reaction?

You are, in fact, the only family with an aversion to "that" on your pizza because those are pretty typical ingredients at nicer pizza places.

I’m not sure OP is a troll but this PP, pretending to be OP, definitely is. There is no way on Earth a bartender would do any of the above for a lousy $5 tip. And if they did, it’s because they knew that the chef’s were going to blow their nose into a napkin and wipe it through OP’s new pizzas.

Mellow Mushroom? They have an amazing crust dusted with parmesan.

Do you mean the garlic oil and parmesan were on the crust? Because that is slightly unusual, but freaking delicious.
