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.
At least I would have saved the $3 dollar delivery fee. Phew. Thanks DoorDash.
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.
Hahaha. Just to really make my point: Safeway was offering premade medium sized pizzas for $4. You’re getting scammed.
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.
I’m literally headed to the store now to make pizza. If you were local, I’d bring you a slice.
I… didn’t pay for it? I called the shop and went to pick it up. Saved 50 bucks on it. You’re making a lot of assumptions about me.
Did you even bother reading the text?
😭
Are you crying here because you didn’t read the post and you regret your comments or are you still having a pop at OP?
I hope it’s the former as the latter makes you seem like a shitty person. Positive intent makes me believe it’s the former.
Fellas, is it a crime to not want to do something from time to time?
OP’s situation aside, that doesn’t even fit your generalization here, many pizza places fired their delivery drivers and use these services without really informing you. I recently ordered from Pizza Hut and didn’t know my pizza was coming via these services until they text me that they were arriving. Naturally I only got one of the pizzas I ordered and the other was one that someone else ordered. Someone with terrible taste who thinks jalapeño and pineapple are appropriate ingredients for a pizza.
Learn to cook.
Do you just assume everybody that gets take out, goes for fast food, or eats at a restaurant can’t cook?
Does it not seem more appropriate that they just want to have a lazy day and not cook. Your comments here reek of privilege and superiority.
Try and be better my guy. Looking at how you’ve been received here should cause you to have a little introspection in how you conduct yourself. I say this from a place of constructive criticism and not having a go at you. We all make mistakes online and we should learn from them to be better and make this community a better place for everybody.
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.
Hey let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. I’ll give you Pizza Hut, but fuck Dominoes and their nasty excuse for pizza.
