Level 1: "I bought this dough."
Level 2: "I made this dough."
Level 3: "I inherited this dough from the original inventor of the pizza. The yeast in here is still from his first batch and it's been blessed by the pope. Twice."

Level 3 cook: Honey I'm making pizza for dinner.
Wife: awesome, when will it be ready?
Level 3 cook: Next week.

Beth: "this is my pizza for my Richi"

Steven isn't a professional chef, but he's professional at keeping my heart warm

[HaloInverse]

I aspire to Level 3's precision, Level 2's heart, and Level 1's economic sensibilities.

Lvl 3 chef: So we're gonna add the starter which has been ageing for 3 years which will add flavour, +5 attack, +2 defence and we're gonna enchant it with an elder dragon's scale which is gonna add even more flavour.

Edit: The person who edited this video is a god-level troll.

“This has been fermenting for about three years”

Did I hear that right?

[sefferz]

these videos usually consist of the level 2 and 3 chefs contradicting each other and the level 1 chef having no idea what they're doing

Level 0 chef: so first step you just peel off the plastic top of the lunchable...

[alihn]

Not gonna lie, this is the first time the level 1 chef has actually done something nice.

You can recognise Englishman by him putting Worcester sauce in everything.

[Berth]

Level 3: OK so we’re back and it’s been a month...

[tylerbaisley]

Level 3:
Dad can we have pizza? “Sure”
Three days later: “here you go”

[donovanb]

Gotta love Stephen.
Saving money is pretty much why I started learning how to make my own pasta, sauces, and bread as well lol

[DizzyedUpGirl]

"Dad, I'm hungry"

"We'll have pizza! In three days"
