[quote=Anonymous]I have been making my own pizzas for years and honestly it's far from a guarantee that you'll be saving money making your own.

If your family normally eats fancy pizzas like Andy's/Pete's/Timber it's possible, but if you're eating Dominos/Paisanos/Duccini's you're gong to be spending a lot of time and effort for very little savings, if any.

Even at home you still need decent tomatoes, and high quality cheese or else your homemade pizza it going to taste like a cheap frozen pizza.  If you're buying the dough premade you'll be looking at $3-$4 for each dough ball, then ~$8 for a pound of low-moisture whole milk mozzarella. Add in $5 for a can of San Marzanos, $3 for basil, $1 for garlic, $8 for a pepperoni stick, you're looking at $33 for the ingredients for 2 large pizzas that you still have to make yourself and clean up after.

If you're used to paying $26 a pie at Andy's you're saving money, but your pizza also isn't going to be nearly as good. If you usually get a 2-for-$28 deal at Papa Johns you're paying more and doing more work.

Making pizza at home can certainly be a fun activity if your kids like to help, but I would be wary of using it as a way to save money. Pizza places simply have economies of scale that we don't. [/quote]
