I don't think I've ever seen a pizza place sell small pizzas for a decent value. They price them to not sell. I'm guessing because they aren't as predictable for the amount of volume you might need.

It wouldn't have been cheaper to go for bigger (ignoring deals), but it wouldn't have been much more and you'd have leftover pizza for lunch the next day.

people who pay full price for corporate pizzas and complain about it are hilarious.

you obviously have internet access. there is no excuse to pay so much. Use their website. Install their app. Even in the 90s pre-internet there were an endless supply of flyer-coupons/discounts.

Full price is a tax on stupid, gullible or the lazy. You paid the lazy tax. 🤷‍♂️

That all said: yes, the lazy tax / full price prices are insane. I have no idea why anyone would pay them, especially with the difference coupons makes.

also: 1) tipping is a good thing to do 2) if you can't afford to tip, don't tip. If you can, do. I don't factor BS into prices and complaints.

Me, living in Japan: that's cheap for pizza and a side!

Not even any places deliver to where I live now so I have to drive a couple towns over.

I expect that kind of price from a real pizza place; not from Dominos, Pizza Hut or Little Caesars. None of those pizzas are worth even half this ridiculous price. They're good (not great, but pretty decent) for $5-6. They're awful for anything more.

Checked my local good pizza place. Made same pizza, the one you did but med instead. Local place was only $2 more: $17.50 vs $16.

It's pretty much the same to order delivery from local or nicer places these days rather than the big chains.

Pizza prices shot through the roof and I honestly can't say they are better than throwing a frozen pizza with some mozzarella added into the oven for less than half the total price. I don't think I have made photos, but I legit had "pizzas" where the outer 2-3 inches had no toppings, just tomato sauce burnt onto the dough.

this is central europe so frozen pizza is between 2-4 euros, 1 euro for mozzarella vs 8-10 euros for take out pizza.

it's also a lesser serving, so healthier.

25 cm pizze for about 1000 roubles? What the fuck? I can order 30 cm for 580 roubles (about 6$). Maybe even cheaper from other source.

That's disgusting. We do get take out sometimes from local restaurants, but I'm in a city and we have lots of options, and I don't mind paying a higher price for supporting them. But for some chain restaurant, that's obscene. My SO went to Burger King the other night to try one of the whopper melts they have right now, and that plus fries and an Oreo shake thing was 19 dollars. Glad I'm vegan time and again.

Do you have grocery delivery in your area? If she isn't picky with the brand of pizza, maybe a $6 frozen pizza heated in the oven would be an alternative. Not sure if you have to tip, I haven't tried it myself.

You didn't head off the question as to why you didn't just pick it up. It looks your delivery costs were a whopping 28% of the total. If you ain't cooking, you've probably got the time to drive. Or better yet walk or bike (obviously only if it's close enough).

But that being said, I recommend always considering getting a large pie. Remember, the area grows with r^2^

So for 6 extra dollars (to get the 16 inch) you get the equivalent of 2.5 10" pizzas. And you have some leftovers. Granted this doesn't make sense if no one else is going to eat it but her, but even going to a medium, you get almost an extra half pizza for 2 dollars. That probably would buy at least a second meal out of it for her.

Dominos is really only worth it if you’re doing the 2 for $5.99 each deal. Although I think that’s even up to $6.99 now lol
