Sometimes I think about getting pizza hut, then I remember it costs 36$ for 2 pizzas, so I just go to the store for two 6$ pizzas
Day one and done

I like the totinos party packs. You csn fold them up like an extra large soft taco and fill it eith whatever you got on hand

How is pizza hut still in business
umulu@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Because, like many other fast food businesses, the prices have gone up across all of them.
capital@lemmy.world 7 months ago
How many times do we need to tell you? No one out pizzas the hut.
Katana314@lemmy.world 7 months ago
The smartest thing is to buy the dough, sauce, and mozzarella yourself for $18. …wait-
weeeeum@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Even pizza dough and sauce is a scam. You really got to do everything from scratch.
On the bright side you can make a big ass batch of sauce and dough and make your own frozen pizzas to bake when you don’t feel like cooking.
SpeedLimit55@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Domino’s does 2+ medium 2 topping for $6-7 each. Or you can get chicken or other random things like tots and bread. Not the best in any category but not awful so if you just need to feed some people it’s good by volume . My local pizza places are significantly better quality and price.
state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 7 months ago
The Italian place here has Pizza Wednesdays, where every pizza is 7 Euro. That’s the only time I buy pizza.

Who buys a frozen pizza to just keep in the freezer?
Im buying that shit because Im gonna eat it.
cmrn@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Currently chomping on my emergency pizza… almost lasted a week in the freezer.

The trick is to buy 10 of them, then cook two right away and you have enough to eat for two more days
Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I’m gonna share a really closely held secret right now:
If you cook 3, you have enough for 3 days!
KuroiKaze@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Wait till Y’all find out 711 whole fresh pizza is better than Domino’s and pizza Hut and costs less and is faster than frozen…
Takumidesh@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Well, it would be faster if I didn’t need to drive 4 hours for a 7/11, but I get ya.
9point6@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Still better than me, I’d need to catch a flight

I guess it’s similar, but here in the Netherlands we have “fresh” pizza’s at the supermarket. They’re kind of in-between frozen pizza’s and a pizza delivery in terms of price, but imo they’re actually by far the best. For 6-7 euros you get a pretty big pizza with fresh toppings, that’s done faster than a frozen pizza or waiting for delivery, and also tastes really good. In the Netherlands it’s common to live very close to a supermarket, so for me it’s be like a 2 min bike ride to get myself a pizza.
thirteene@lemmy.world 7 months ago
USA calls them “take and bakes”. Few fast food chains specialize in it like Papa Murphy’s, but grocery store delis regularly stock them as well.
Dagwood222@lemm.ee 7 months ago
USA here. I live in a neighborhood with a lot of Italian grocery stores and delis. One place sells premade pizzas; you can store in the fridge, or freeze, or cook it when you get home. I’ve never tried them myself, but there’s at least one American brand that sells ‘uncooked’ pizza [as opposed to cooked and frozen]
jose1324@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Iedereen haat mij, maar Verse pizza van de jumbo op een pizza steen gebakken is gewoon goeie!
Syd@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Their wings are surprisingly good too, better than a lot of places that specialize in wings.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 months ago
There are people in this world who have seriously tried to sell me on the idea that frozen pizza is just as good as delivery.
And those people worry me.
ettyblatant@lemmy.world 7 months ago
It’s best for everyone that we just accept that they are two different pizza concepts, and should not be ranked between each other.
overcast5348@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I say that I like “garbage pizza” because that’s how everyone around me treats the pizzas I like. I don’t like the “good pizzas” that everyone keeps raving about. I’ll take Domino’s or Pizza Pizza any day of the week.
9point6@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Oh there are many more than two
You’ve got your classics: Neapolitan, NY, Chicago, Detroit
Then you’ve got the modern day extra categories: frozen, thin crust, kebab shop pizza & dominoe’s
Yes Domino’s is its own category, if you’re craving Domino’s, no other pizza will do it and if you’re craving any other kind of pizza, Domino’s isn’t gonna hit right.
Also Papa John’s is not pizza, just round disappointment.
xenoclast@lemmy.world 7 months ago
How about this argument. Just a quality ratio.
2 large delivery pizzas, to the door: $50 all in. $25per 2 good quality frozen pizzas: $12. $6 per
So we could even say that delivery is four times better… and based on price/quality alone… they’re equal to frozen.
(I think we all know I’m not proposing an actual serious argument. But the cost difference is wild)
Chiarottide@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Laughs in Italian, where 50 euros would buy you 7 delivery pizzas. I feel really sorry for you people
TheIllustrativeMan@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I mean, depends on the frozen pizza. 99% of them are worse, but there’s one brand I get at wally world for like $7 a pizza that is better than 99% of the pizza I can order (and we have some pretty solid pizza joints around here).
Had to quit getting them though because they’re like 6000 kcal.
v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 7 months ago
Here in Germany, take-out pizza is usually pretty good, depending on the restaurant. However, when it comes to vegan pizzas (ie. pizzas with actual vegan cheese on top), the selection of restaurants to choose from shrinks a lot. There’s one joint where we usually order from where a large 60x40cm pizza costs around 25€. It’s good, but it’s nowhere near worth the price in my books.
The vegan frozen pizzas in our supermarkets, though, are banging. There’s one particular supermarket chain (Rewe) that recently added a new vegan frozen pizza that imitates tuna pizza and it’s amazing and only costs like 2,80€ per pizza. Amazing dough, crust, it’s packed full of ingredients, the cheese is good - can’t complain. And it costs next to nothing compared to take-out
onion@feddit.de 7 months ago
Delivery pizza is always soggy with no proper crust, imo worse than some frozen pizza
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I don’t know where you get your pizza from but it sure as hell isn’t like that here.
downdaemon@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
it’s not delivery, it’s degeneracy
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 7 months ago
Anyone else prefer a frozen pizza over delivery? Like, taste wise? Like it’s better than dominoes or pizza hut.
paultimate14@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Local pizza places are usually both cheaper and better than chains, at least in every neighborhood I’ve lived in. I think they are better than frozen pizzas, but also about 2x the cost. Both vary from place to place though.
Aldi’s pizzas are my go-to for value. Usually around $6 a pop now (they were $3.29 pre-pandemic). I add extra cheese and toppings to remind myself I’ve made it in life.
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 7 months ago
you know sometimes i forget that pizza chains exist in other countries, here in sweden (and i think generally the nordics) they simply are not a thing because middle eastern immigrants have outcompeted them from the start.
From a blogpost i found there are aparently some 70-ish pizzerias per person in NYC, whereas there are 400+ per person in sweden. It’s literally more likely to find a pizzeria in a small village than it is to find a grocery store, and theyr are ALL staffed by people from turkey/syria who are very likely to be family or at least know of each other. They also always serve other stuff like kebab or schnitzel.
It’s honestly such a fascinating phenomenon and i’m sad the rest of the world doesn’t effectively have pizza as a human right.
scytale@lemm.ee 7 months ago
add extra cheese and toppings
This is what I do. Buy a large frozen supreme pizza at the grocery store, then add extra mozarella and other toppings at home before baking.
volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 7 months ago
YES God yes. Sometimes I specifically crave frozen pizza and no delivery pizza or restaurant pizza would fulfill the desire. It can be the other way around, too, I might crave delivery or restaurant pizza. But mostly, if I want pizza, I want the frozen stuff. It’s good. It doesn’t overdo the cheese/fat or toppings, the size is better, it is more predictable, the crust is must better. There’s just something about frozen pizza. 9 out of 10 times I prefer it.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 7 months ago
A great trick for delivery/carry out is to heat up and lightly butter a skillet and place your slices in there on medium heat for like 3 to 5 minutes. It makes the crust crispy and the taste like twice as good compared to lukewarm soggy crust.
SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 7 months ago
If you find your brand preference then it’s just better in my opinion
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 7 months ago
For sure. Mine is tombstone. Their crust is just right for me. Thinner than many, but still not close to a thin crust. If it’s lacking in topping or flavors, I can add that on myself.
altima_neo@lemmy.zip 7 months ago
At least most frozen ones Ive tried are usually terrible. Bready crust and lacking in toppings with a flavorless sauce.
But Ill usually do carry out over delivery.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 7 months ago
I add things on, usually. I like tombstone pizzas the most, for the thickness their crust is. Thicker than a thin crust, but still not too thick and bready. I’ll sprinkle on some fennel, oregano, garlic powder, crushed red pepper, and often times hot sauce. Then if it’s a bit lacking on cheese I’ll throw on some shredded mozzarella a few minutes before it’s done cooking.
Gork@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Sadly frozen pizza tends to not have good crusts. The only exception I’ve found was interestingly enough the cheapest of pizzas, the Totinos Party Pizzas.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Frozen French bread pizza can be acceptable in terms of crust.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 7 months ago
Tombstone has a good, crispy thin crust similar to those party pizzas.
altima_neo@lemmy.zip 7 months ago
Yeah, I really hate how bready the crust is on frozen pizza. And thin crust pizza isnt for me.
volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 7 months ago
It really depends on what kind of crust you like. I hate crust and delivery always comes with huge crusts. Tk pizza has a thin, crispy crust, so I can eat it easily.
Dagwood222@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Who buys one frozen pizza?
dditty@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Me because my freezer is small
Dagwood222@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Consider investing in a bigger freezer.
You can get a good one new for under $200.00 It’ll end up paying for itself in a few months if you order in a lot. I like to cook up a huge pot of chili/soup/stew and freeze it in pint size containers. Instead of ordering in, I can have something I like fast.
Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 7 months ago
I buy a frozen pizza so I have something to eat when I have a hangover. Surprise surprise
Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Last one i bought held out for 60 days before i threw it in the fire
Jessica@discuss.tchncs.de 7 months ago
Everyone in these comments needs Jesus lol. Frozen pizza sucks ass, and we only eat it because it’s convenient. It’s not even cheaper than take out anymore with inflation. I can get a 3 topping large carry out from Dominos for like $7-8 (I forget), which is the same damn price anymore for a tiny mediocre frozen pizza from the grocery store. If you really want it NOW, go to Costco’s food court and get huge ass slices for $2 each.
frickineh@lemmy.world 7 months ago
First of all, I just checked the Dominos site and that price is a straight up lie even with a coupon. Second, are you really trying to say they make pizza that’s any better than frozen? Last time I ate there, it was borderline inedible, and I’m not a snob - I used to happily eat the Totino’s party pizzas that are like, $1.25.
Jessica@discuss.tchncs.de 7 months ago

Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 7 months ago
your frozen pizzas suck ass, COOP here in sweden has great frozen pizzas that feel like 3x as healthy as restaurant pizzas and are some of the cheaper food you can find.

sasquash@sopuli.xyz 7 months ago
just buy pizza dough, tomato sauce, mozzarella and toppings of your choice and make a fresh pizza. Takes 2min to prepare. It’s healthier and tastes much better.
helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I did exactly as you said, is it supposed to be chewy?
frickineh@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Pfft, I always buy a frozen pizza specifically because I already know I’m not gonna feel like cooking after grocery shopping because it sucks. I don’t even pretend anymore. All that fresh food is for another day.
Bluefruit@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I specifically buy easy dinner stuff while.im out shopping for the same reason. I spent an hour getting food so now imma take it easy and eat this mac and chicken strips from the deli.
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 7 months ago
I’m curious how your shopping trips look like to be called exhausting, i just bike to the store, scan the products, stuff them in my backpack, pay, and bike home. Takes 15 minutes tops if i don’t leisurely walk around looking at the shelves.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 7 months ago
Like the last day it looks like it can still be usable before you’re forced to “throw away money”.
