[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think OP's balking is weird (who doesn't enjoy homemade pizza?!) but this is why I always run menu plans past guests - to rule out surprises, allergy/dietary issues, etc. [/quote]

DP. This isn't about not enjoying pizza. The etiquette misstep on the part of the host was not to inform the guests about the "theme" of the night, which included making their own meal. That is a theme. That is not a dinner party, where one assumes one gets to go and relax and enjoy themselves, not have to work for their dinner.[/quote]
I don’t really think putting sauce and toppings on the pizza dough is that much work to warrant a complaint? And it’s not like you’re stoking a wood stove to cook it in. It would only take 2 minutes to put the toppings on. Then into the oven. 
Now, if the host is require you to make the sauce yourself and dice up all of the vegetables - I would understand the complaint. [/quote]

I've been to a make your own pizza party. We know going in. It was a lot of fun, but it is a lot of work even with the dough ready to go. Also, baking all the pizza takes a lot of time and coordination. There is nothing relaxing about that kind of night.[/quote]

It doesn't take a lot of time or effort. I've done it with 9 year old girls who can figure it out and finish within minutes. [/quote]

This. But apparently they're not precious like PP.[/quote]

I'm a DP but your insistence that we somehow can't figure out how to put pizza together is bizarre. Just because I don't enjoy the same things as your nine year old, doesn't mean I can't do it. [/quote]
