If this is the pizza for 36 $ I feel pitty for humanity.
Someone, who probably works a shitty job that pays mostly for their rent, comes home way too tired and depressed to cook. Orders a pizza that looks absolutely underwhelming. For money that is equivalent for a month of food in another country.
You're forgetting the neutron star on the side

I'm in Canada, when I order pizza for my family of 3 it comes out to like $65+ with tax and delivery, it's insane. Took them to burger king the other day, we got 3 meals and a couple of apple turnovers and it came out to $50+, shit is insane.
Tfw burger king costs same as sit down
Nah man, sit downs have doubled in price too. I took them to a sit down place a few months back and it came out to like $150

Just prepare your own food at this point?..
I generally order only when I can't. Like when the day has been a hectic disaster, it's 20 minutes from dinner, I haven't had a chance to go to the store or cook, and the kids gotta eat. If it was just me alone I'd survive in crackers

You gotta order online and use their apps and newsletters it can cut the price by half if not more. They are making their prices punitive for not using their apps now. Domino's should be about $8 a pizza.
They're giving you a discount via app because they're collecting your data
Oh for sure, but the alternative is getting scammed. 😔
You're still getting scammed it's just less immediately obvious
Did a fast casual place last week with 3 other adults. 65 dollars for 4 burgers, 3 drinks, and 2 small fries. Of course they asked me for a tip.
I really try to avoid restaurants. Every time I go I end up angry.
In Romania a pizza is $4-6 for a small one and for a large one $8-10

We (loc: krautland) totally stopped ordering take-out. It gets less and less, worse and worse, cheaper and cheaper, but also more and more expensive. It's not worth it anymore. At all.
We may be just some cheap fucks (as many still do, even those with way less moneyz), but takeout is no viable alternative to cooking anymore.
The Chinese food place near me still sells lunch specials for <10$. It's the only place I order out from anymore and it will probably close soon.

Gustavo Gusto frozen pizza is better than at least 80% of delivery pizza anyway, so I just stock those.

I saw Home Alone on TV during Christmas and the cheese pizza Kevin orders from Little Nero’s was $12 or $13. I’m impressed and grateful that I can still get a pizza for that price sometimes like 35 years later. Cheaper if I go to Caesars and pick up
Their crazy bread is like crack to me I stg
It's still a better price for what you are getting, but somehow a large Little Caesars pizza is only as filling as like three or four slices from anywhere else. I can easily finish it in one sitting. But you can't complain about $5.55 for a whole pizza. And the "Hot-N-Ready!" signs have been making me giggle for 20 years.
Last time I ordered pizza it came out to $30. We make it at home now. Better quality anyway, besides one of my daughters really loves cooking it with me.
If you are culinary challenged like myself but would like to making pizza at home, here's some suggestions:
Frozen grocery store cheese pizza but fancied up by adding whatever topping you are in the mood for. An "Italian seasoning" spice adds a lot of flavor.
Instead of a traditional pizza dough opt for something simpler like French bread or pitas. Slather on sauce, cheese, toppings. This was my introduction to "cooking" when I was broke.
Pre-made pizza crust like Boboli which is nice but ups the cost. You can also buy uncooked dough though I've never gone this route. I tried making my own dough back when bread machines were a thing but I could never get the hand of it.
Robin Hood pizza flour. I'm sure there are other brands but this is what our mom would use to make pizza most weekends. Now that I'm thinking about I'll have to pick some up
I feel about the word "slather" the way a lot of people seem to feel about the word moist.
I really miss RES. I would tag people like you so I could always use the word slather whenever I saw you again.

I hope whatever they are slathering is moist.

...and they're still asking for tips.
It all went downhill when they let the delivery people set the prices
...?
You know if you order pizza from a place that's actually good, which is to say not Dominos or Pizza Hut, then that's actually a fair price. That's how much I pay including tip and delivery. In Chicagoland.

Making your own stuff is more fun than ordering delivery and watching TV while you wait for it to get there
