I personally do not see anything wrong with the way those are shot. The food looks a lot better in the pictures than I think it would taste.
I'm just not seeing what you two are seeing, because all I see is pure awesomeness. Can someone please explain?
There in all honesty is nothing technically wrong at all with the shots, they are very true and accurate and as a viewer that is the goal I try to accomplish. From a photographer to photographer level, we hold each other, especially as professionals to a higher standard of creativity. Kind of the unwritten rule book of criticism, and the same reason I didnt get butt hurt about his suggestions. In our world, we get better by sharing ideas and tips and sometimes even a secret or two, so when he says that they are not up to par, he is referring to the highest level of cuisine photography out there, he is not comparing me to average joe.

Look at how shiny the food is as if its fresh out of the oven and creates a mouth watering must order pizza nao desire.
That is studio food photography, that pizza has a lot of lighting and oil sprayed on it to may it look like that.
Subtleties in this next shot include 2 lights, a black sheet held directly overhead to give a dark defining edge on the liquid and seperation from the glass. A glowing effect.

Pizza. Yum.
Ah, I get it what aspects you're talking about now.
That food sure does look good though. The effect on those liquids is stunning.
I'd like some pizza right now.
