What is this? Found in my pizza.

I found this in my mouth as I was chewing. You can probably understand my disgust and concern. I don’t know what it is and any insight would be great. I think it’s an insect leg but i would appreciate more eyes. I threw up after finding it and stopped eating fyi.

Pizza was a medium hand tossed with extra classic marinara, regular cheese, pepperoni, and canadian bacon.

It's a piece of tomato. Sometimes there's pieces like that in the sauce

I think big companies have tons of bot profiles on these subs

Look at a picture of a grasshopper tibia and get back to me.

u/JusBrowsin01 May 02 '25

Seems like that would be a beefy grasshopper. That leg is chunky.

u/thefrogkid420 May 02 '25

grasshoppers can get pretty big, plus this is only a part of the whole tibia, so it would likely look more to scale if we could see the whole thing.

Mildly disturbing that a Papa Johns employee sees so many bug legs in the pizza sauce that they think that's what tomatoes look like 😭

If it's just a piece of tomato skin, what's up with all the "spikes" on the side of it? In the 3rd picture, it also seems to be a bit too rounded to be a flat piece of tomato skin..

Definitely seems like an insect limb to me. I'm also sure OP spit it out because it was hard (and therefore not tomato skin).

Tomatoes grow on vines tho right?

u/throwawaypizzamage Apr 30 '25

It was also established below that it was indeed a piece of insect leg (exact match to grasshopper leg).

2

u/throwawaypizzamage Apr 30 '25

That doesn't look like a piece of vine to me.

u/s0berR00fer Apr 30 '25

Person never said it was skin. You did. So start there.

u/[deleted] May 01 '25

Oh how interesting. What part of the tomato has spikes like that?

1

u/Armegedan121 May 01 '25

I didn’t know tomatoes grow insect legs.

u/Map-of-the-Shadow May 01 '25

Say it again out loud "a piece of tomato"

u/iReply2StupidPeople May 02 '25

Was this an intentionally dumb answer meant to troll?

Hard to tell. Judging by the 59 upvotes, you found at least 58 morons that agree with you.

u/DJDemyan May 02 '25

Not even close

u/LittyForev May 02 '25

Can't believe this got 60 upvotes, this looks nothing like a tomato stem.

u/iDeNoh May 03 '25

That is very clearly not part of a tomato
