| This is the first logic-grid puzzle I have attempted that has all of its clues in a negative manner. I find myself stuck, I am a positive thinker, all of these 'neither, nor' and 'didn't includes' are killing my brain cells. :-? |

| I hope my pizza is not this tough! I have ordered 4 times now and all I get is little red squares with x's. I will try again :-? :D |

| Wow, I have no idea how to solve this one without the hint! Turned my brain upside down with all the negative clues. Great Puzzle! |

| Brilliant. :D |

| After trying 5 times just using the clues, I have concluded that the 2 hints should be clues rather than hints. It doesn't seem to work otherwise. :o |

| As I was typing the above comment, Winner 4600 entered the comment "Brilliant." so I guess I am wrong. |

| I actually saw this teaser in the queue, so I don't remember if I used the hints or not. However, there were some corrections that needed to be made, so I submitted those along with changing the hints to the teaser body. :wink: |

| With the help of the hints, I was able to get the answer down to the point where I couldn't figure which cheese topping went with the thin and which went with the whole wheat . It seemed that either would work. The rest of the puzzle was solved. So I am not 100% convinced there is a unique solution. I would be grateful if anybody could help me here. :o :o :roll: |

| One more time: as it says under the title of the teaser, the grid is based on the given CLUES, not the Hints. This one shoud not have been allowed! :evil: |

| Yankee - The clues say that Broccoli is not with Mozzarella. So by the time you get to the Cheese toppings, you can see that Broccoli is with a Sicilian crust, and so the only crust left for Mozzarella is Whole Wheat. For the Thin crust, a clue says that it is neither Parmesan nor Romano, so Thin = Romano. You can PM me if you have any more questions...
By the way, I think I did use the hint to solve this one. It's being corrected. :D |

| Fixed. :D |

| Hurray! The clues are now all there (I hope). I say I hope, because I'm still having trouble solving this one. I am really enjoying the wording, though, which is very tricky. This is a good teaser! :roll: :D |

| This was very tricky. I still haven't figured it out yet. :cry: |

| Re-fixed - I moved clue #8 back to a hint where it was originally. I added an explanation in the answer showing how to logically figure out the first hint. The rest of the puzzle can be solved using similar logic. |

| Hard to believe, but I actually solved it! :D Sorry for the trouble I caused. :oops: |

| I figured out everything except for the cheeses... I'm so stuck! |

| After you get the part with the onions, everything else falls into place. |

| I found that the only way to get this one done was to use the hints.
Therefore, I think the hints should have been worked in as clues in some form. I don't believe it is possible to work a logic problem with only negative clues. I think that there must be at least one positive clue. Fun to work, hope you give us another one but with some positive clues added. Thanks. :-? :o :roll: :D |

| Oh my! :o
This was so difficult! Took me all day to solve it. (off and on)
The fact that the entire puzzle was nearly all negatives made this very confusing and tough. I enjoyed every frustrating moment and came to the correct conclusion in the end.
Thanks for a great teaser! :D
And the cheeses can be determined: I think the last clue for cheese is that the broccoli pizza is not the one with thin crust nor the one with mozzarella. This tells us that the thin crust is a different pizza than the mozzarella. Therefore Alfred's thin crust pizza is not mozza and must be romano cheese. |

| Tough puzzle. Although I did not need the hints, I think the hint should say that the puzzle solution requires 'trial and error'.
(That suggestion goes for any logic-grid puzzle on this site.) |

| This puzzle was very hard (which I welcome!) but it was no fun at all :evil: There were not enough clues for the cheeses and even the answers were confusing to read since they were completely out of order. I never would have been able to solve this without the clues. Maybe it should have included a "The 5 pizzas are...." kind of clue |

| Terrific puzzle! And it is solvable without the hints or trial and error. It does take some insight that took me a few hours to see, and then the rest fell into place. To whoever said it isn't possible to solve a logic grid with only negative clues: that is not so. Clearly if you have a row or column in one box with 4 negatives, then you can mark a positive. The thing to do on a puzzle like this is to find combinations of clues that allow you to find more negatives, so that you can deduce a positive to get you going. |

| Frustrating. :( |

| Wow, I didn't find it that hard...you just look for other negatives like someone else said, then do a little trial and error. Thanks so much for your work, and for the challenge :D The only thing that drove me nuts was my own fault, I did all the work, then went to hit the answer link, and hit the show grid instead....erased everything :roll: So I got to do this one twice. |
