[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Due to increased food and delivery cost, getting pizza delivered is not longer the bargain it used to be. You can sometimes find deals from the chains, but the quality isn't great and even those deals aren't always that economical.

You can make really good pizza at home without that much effort. I'm making Detroit-style pizza tonight and it's stupid-easy if you have a proper Detroit-style pan. I had to but the dough for the crust together on my lunch hour, but it took 10 minutes. I just made the sauce -- also 10 minutes. Now I'll put the sauce and toppings on and throw it in the oven. I'll have spent maybe 30 minutes actively cooking and we'll have pizza for tonight and either lunch or dinner tomorrow, for 4 people, for around $15 plus the cost of a salad ($6 on cheese, $3 on on sauce, $5 on pepperoni, $1-2 in ingredients for the dough - flour, yeast, salt).

The same amount of pizza ordered would cost us around $40, plus tip for the delivery driver. Even if we splurged on fancy toppings for pizza at home (sometimes we buy fancy peppers, mushrooms, olives, etc.), we're still looking at half the cost of ordering. My time is worth something too, but I enjoy cooking well enough and 30 minutes is nothing, especially when spread out over the course of the day.

[b]Just throwing this out there.[/b] We haven't ordered pizza from a delivery place in years, and we rarely go out for pizza anymore either because we can eat such tasty pizza at home.[/quote]

"Just throwing this out there"...for what? Why would I give a single shyt whether you order delivery pizza? You think I'm going to change what my family chooses to do because of your rambling soliloquy on the evils of delivery pizza? Get a life.[/quote]

+100.

I cringe at how many pizza-delivery-lovers on this thread seem defensive and feel like they have to explain themselves to OP.

Really, people.  [b]OP is nothing. [/b] Who cares what she thinks?[/quote]

Neither are you.

I like OP better than the “why bake cookies when I can get 4 huge perfect cookies from the amazing bakery I won’t name for only $12!” poster.[/quote]
