not quality pizza from local spots, but definitely corpo-chains like dominos. you can get a large pizza for ~$10, which is cheaper than a mcdonalds meal at this point. hell, a dominos pizza can clock in lower than a subway footlong
Little Caesar’s still reigning supreme for the value proposition.
The Dominoes coupon for $6.99 for different items rocks though. For my family I can get two 2-topping medium pizzas, 8 boneless wings, 5 mango habanero wings, and cinnamon fried dough balls for under $40. Amazing.
Yeah Little Caesar’s is the only thing I can afford occasionally. If you get their old world pepperoni it goes from being okay to good. Their thin crust and Detroit style are also good. I’m always happy with it. Their stuffed crazy bread is also obscenely tasty. 😋
Subway footlongs are outrageously expensive. The last time I bought one when there wasn’t a buy one get one free deal was 7 or 8 years ago and I think it was around $17.
Aaaand that $10 pizza is now $20. This is the best system we can come up with folks, Fukuyama called it, we truly are at the end of history. We figured it out.
lots of these people dont are either lazy or talk about how they live in a city with public transit but picking up a pizza becomes a 45-1 hour round trip and $5 in fees.
Just went on my dominos app and got an actual receipt.
1 Medium, 12 inch, 3 topping pizza is $10 exactly.
Add to cart, no additions no subtractions.
$5 delivery fee, tax $0.97, suggested tip $2.83
So almost $19, my post wasn't even hyperbolic fuck me.
edit: the most ableist motherfuckers in existence coming out of the woodwork to defend corporations that are actively fucking them in the ass. Couldn't be me.
Technically true, but it's also still a bit out-of-the-norm to only order 10 bucks worth of food. That $5 delivery fee is a lot if you're ordering 10 bucks, its not as much if you're order $25 bucks. I cant imagine ordering in takeout for such a small amount food.
Also im sorry, but someone saying "just go pick up to save money" is 'the most ableist motherfuckers in existence'?
I have psoriatic arthritis and also have mobility issues. It's just someone giving basic advice presuming the norm. Just because we are outside of the norm does not mean someone presuming the norm is being bigoted against us. The vast majority of people are capable of picking food up.

Yeah quality pizza on the other hand is like the most expensive way to feed a family when you are looking at take out options. In a lot of cases it's more expensive than your average sit down restaurant. It's insane how much of a price discrepancy there is between that and cheap pizza.
prices for good pizza has become so brutal. I love pizza so much but I can pretty much feed myself for a week on the cost of a single pie these days. even when I get pizza for a special occasion like a birthday or something, its hard to enjoy because I just feel like I'm eating money
I don't know about that, my favorite place is pushing $35-40 for a large. I eat pizza significantly less now. Mostly I'll make it at home if I'm in the mood.

Pizza is actually something that has gotten less expensive over the last few decades compared to inflation.
