This guide should NOT be used on all pizza menus. This is specifically meant to be used for pizza menus with a significant amount of modifiers that would otherwise take more than 24 hours to build.

A: There are certain options on pizzas that we don't incorporate unless specifically requested by the client in the menu instructions or style guide.

We do not do any of the above listed things for pizza menus, unless specifically requested in the menu instructions or written in their style guide. We should still follow the menu source as accurately as possible - these rules are meant to keep us from taking days to transcribe complex modifier lists. They should not be used to simplify all pizza menus and are meant to be used for pizza menus with a significant amount of modifiers.

See the three green circles next to some of the options? They represent the ability to apply a topping to the left side, right side, or the whole pizza. We need to incorporate this choice. But if we flatten this option, the extra will become very long and it's not a very good customer experience to have to choose from a topping list potentially 60+ options long. This is the WRONG way to do it:

The correct way to do it when left side, right side, or whole pizza is an option, is to break the toppings into three separate modifier lists like so:

Please do not use "1st Half Toppings" and "2nd Half Toppings". There are many situations where you may be required to list a 1st or 2nd choice and it can start to get confusing if too many of the extra names have a number in it. It is preferred to use "Left Side Toppings", "Right Side Toppings", and "Whole Pizza Toppings".

Notice if you actually go to this order online system where we got this example, the "Pizza Options" extra and "Pizza Instructions" extra can also be applied to a specific side of the pizza or the whole pizza. We have decided not to offer this as an option because it's not really possible to only cook half a pizza well done or light. Additionally, we have combined the "Pizza Options" extra and "Pizza Instructions" extra into one single Preparation extra because the majority of the options overlap.

This pizza menu had many base options besides the normal toppings. Additionally, it wasn't possible to see the prices for everything unless you added the pizza to the cart and systematically added and removed different options to see how the price changed.

The main takeaway from this example is that the only price variances that need to be created are the sizes. All the rest of these options should be built as options --- not as a new price variance.

We will also combine the cheese, meats, and veggies tabs into one topping list. That topping list we will duplicate three times so that they are labeled:

Some pizzas will come with the option to add a topping to just a half of the pizza or the whole. It's important to keep an eye out for this option because sometimes it won't be obvious. Usually this option is displayed using symbols like these:

You can click on the bubbles and that's how you select the option. Here's another example from Example 1 at the beginning of this article:

Here's some examples of ways a pizza website might give you these options:

When this option is not given, it's fine to just use 'Topping' from the drop down in Woflow. However, if this option is given, please select the 'Custom' extra from the drop down and use these exact names:

There are three things you need to check for with topping prices:

Pizza sizing is formatted on menus in many different ways! Here's an example of a few:

The formatting rule for sizes in the price variances is as follows:

Again, you do not need to transcribe any calorie info unless specifically requested in the instructions.
