Price of pizza

[Badgers]

Cheap pizza....

Hmmmm......

Would I go to the U.S. for cheap pizza?

 

[Detroit City]

Retail price of a LARGE FULL HOUSE Domino's pizza (no special offer) 1997-2001ish: £14.99-15.99

thats bullshit man! BTW the guy who founded Dominos is a big right-wing religious nut job ass

 

[mrs quoad]

NB: I'm amazed to see it's now cheaper than it was then

Who sold it a few years ago.

Uh.

Your point being?

 

[Detroit City]

Your point being?

boycott Domino's

 

[mrs quoad]

boycott Domino's

Yes, but he - Tom Monaghan - sold it a few years ago.

I - personally - would boycott it because it's ridiculously overpriced. Your point seems... uh... a wee bit disconnected?

And most takeaway pizza is soggy doughy shit too - I wouldn't mind if it was a gourmet experience but its usually just stodge.

Word

I have given up on delivery pizza because it usually costs around a tenner for a 12" one round our way and it is always, always disappointing. I finally stopped ordering it when Pizza Hut sent me the wrong pizza for the 2nd time. I actually started to think that they didn't want to deliver to my house because they put anchovies on when I hadn't ordered them. I actually like anchovies but it did seem like something someone would do in order to piss someone off. IUSWIM. Paranoid?

yes I know, my ex-girlfriend used to work for him...

That's one of the oddest things about NYC: it's often cheaper to go to a restaurant than buy the ingredients and make it yourself!

My former local pizza place in Hither Green did a 7" with 3 toppings for a pound. 10" for £2.25.

There is place on Catford Boadway/ Catford hill that does the same.

My local does a £10 meal deal consisting of 2 10" pizzas of your choice + either 2 kebabs or 2 burgers / chips or 2 southern fried chicken / chips + 2l of coke.

Well OK you can get stuff cheaper from the manky pizza/kebab places on Brixton Hill but they're distgusting. I'm talking about the price of something vaguely edible here....

I went to Pizza Express last week. It was nice but I had far bigger, far nicer pizza for less at a random Italian restaurant on the Gloz Road last night.

I don't get the Pizza Express fuss, it's OK but not all that

They're nice, but not nearly big enough. When I used to go there with a friend, he used to order two.

If you got to Bottelino's at lunchtime or in the early evening, you can get the most expensive pizza on the menu for £4.95.

Personally I don't think you can beat the pizza counter at Asda - £2.38 for a 10" stonebake with 4 toppings. Of course, you have to take it home and cook it yourself.

I hate posh pizza!!!!

What do you consider to be posh pizza?

Takeaway pizzas around here are dirt cheap but seriously gross. Makes more sense to buy a fresh supermarket one really.

Till recently there was a pizzamania in Leeds knocking out all you could eat for a fiver and takeaways for £2,99. AFAIK they were the cheapest in Leeds.

 

[Sweaty Betty]

pizzaexpress and wanky restaurants that charge the earth for something that tastes better frozen out of a box...

Pizza express are hardly posh.

by definition pizza shouldn't be posh....it is the common person's food.

how often would you go to some ritzy black-tie party and be served pizza?

 

[Gromit]

yea over here a large pizza with 2 or 3 items on it will run you around $12 on avg....$15 if you want it delivered. and that will usually feed 2 to 3 people.

BTW both Little Ceasars and Dominoes are headquartered in Detroit area but Little Ceasers is a more low-end pizza.

pizza is still the best bang for the buck/pound...

I'd say the best bang for buck in the UK is a kebab £3ish (they make em massive these days) or an Indian £6-7ish.

Dominos charge £12 for a 11.5" pizza and I can eat one of them by myself. Dough, a bit of sauce and some topics is hardly that expensive.
For £12 from an indian take away I could eat for 3 days.

thats bullshit man, its like $25. For that I could get two larges with two items on each, delivered to me door.

Delivery pizza prices take the piss. Haven't had one for a couple of years. Spend a tenner on essentially chese, tomato on toast. Could get about 4 meals worth of Chinese for that.

What do you like then? Pizza Hut?

Pizza Express do "Romano" pizza now, the closest thing to pizza I have eaten in Rome.

If anyone can tell me of a frozen pizza that comes close to Pizza Express, I'd be interested to know.. even their own frozen pizzas are rank.

 

[miss direct]

I occasionally get a pizza from a local place and it's £2.50 for a small pizza, which is plenty for one. I think that's pretty good value.

 

[crustychick]

Pizza Express, Pizza Hut, Domino's - overpriced and not so nice

so worth it if you can find a decent local pizza place... haven't found one in Oxford yet.... I *love* pizza too....

Deffo

Unfortunately, we moved

38" Pizza makes me happy in the pants!!
