2 pizzas, a small order of breadsticks, and wanted to splurge and get cinnamon sticks.

Pizzas are a “Buy one get one deal!” at 13 bucks a pizza. Figured what the hell, I’ll splurge on desert then with the deal. Get to checkout… hold on a minute… 50 dollars for pizza?! Wait a minute 80 dollars after fees and taxes?!

Usually I only use Doordash for finding something, then I order direct from the store. I just saw the sweet “buy one get one” deal and thought eh, fine I’m here. Right, that’s why I stopped using door dash. I’m not spending 80 dollars on freaking pizza. I’ll just go pick it up and spend a quarter of that price.

I still find it crazy thinking that people are rich enough to pay for services like this.

  Rich people don’t pay for stupid shit like this, it’s how they stay rich.

    Truly rich people have a chef that buys what they want and cooks it for them. It’s not an area where they save over the average person. They just do it differently.

I don’t know your personal situation, but people need to learn to cook. Even a meal kit with 3 meals six plates all delivered to your door can cost less than that one order for two pizzas. Your local grocery has pre made pizza dough, sauce, and cheese, and can be cooked in less time than it takes to wait for delivery.

  What? Of course I can cook. It’s Friday and I didn’t feel like it. You’ve never said “Oh man, work was hell, I’m just going to order something and relax tonight”?
  
  I meal prep for every day and cook every day. You don’t need to act superior to people because they wanted to order a pizza.

    You complain, but still pay for it. That only encourages the gouging. The best way to make it stop is not patronizing food delivery services. Use any means necessary. If your tired, I totally get it, but paying them means you condone the behavior of price gouging and hidden fees.

  Don’t judge ppl for not cooking. It takes time. It takes effort. It takes more than the attention span of a squirrel. A lot of people just can’t any more. Depressed people, old people, exhausted people, busy people. Some flats don’t even come with kitchens and some people are forced to move somewhere. It also, doesn’t stop with the cooking, you have to clean up afterwards as well. Cooking can be fun, but it can also be chore.

  I mean, if you want pizza that’s even shittier than chain deliveries, sure, you can do that.
  
  Let’s be real. A home oven and premade dough might be cheaper, but it ain’t good pizza.
  
  You can get a pizza stone (or steel), or do a cast iron pizza and end up fine, that’s for sure. But if you’re using that premade dough, even Caesar’s is going to be as good. That’s not mentioning that the sauces available in jars aren’t all created equal at all, or that it’s a dice roll if the cheese is okay or not.
  
  Even dominos and pizza hut are better than a cheap home made pie. You want a good home made pizza, you’re spending roughly the same, but now you have to learn how to hey it right. The learning curve isn’t horrible or anything, but it’s there.
  
  Most people that want a pizza want something decent, or they’d just throw in a digiorno’s or whatever. Mind you, calling most chain pizza decent is a stretch of the term, but that’s another issue entirely since a solid pizzeria isn’t exactly a guarantee outside of cities

    Just saying, this was made with premade dough in a residential oven. It was fantastic and cost about $7 total.

    Even dominos
    
    Hey let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. I’ll give you Pizza Hut, but fuck Dominoes and their nasty excuse for pizza.

My favorite Pizza place in Germany has their own delivery cars. It might take some time to arrive, but you pay 30€ for 2 large Pizzas + 4€ for the delivery if your are located in the same city… 34€ total… Add a 2€ tip (tips are usually an extra and not their main income in Germany) and enjoy the Pizza… Easy…

  A local burger joint here has created their own App-Service, with much better pricing and conditions for both sides. Nowadays their main gig is selling the App to other restaurants and the burger joint is just the side gig.

  My favourite Pizza place here in Copenhagen also went back to having their own delivery car and bike, to get rid of Wolt (biggest delivery service here). Delivery price and time has improved dramatically.
  
  Why did we sacrifice all these services go stupid apps to begin with?

    Probably because the only way of ordering was (and sometimes is) via telephone. Ordering via app or website was rare before the delivery platforms came and created a monopoly…
