Note I did not buy any food for myself.

To head off questions:

  1. No, I couldn’t cook for her. I’m suffering from a long-term illness where I can’t eat solid foods and am extremely smell sensitive. My wife is at a funeral, so I had to order food.

  2. She’s extremely picky and refused to let me order anything but pizza.

  3. We live outside of town, in a not very big town, with very few pizza delivery options, and they’re all at least this expensive.

  4. No, I didn’t also have to buy her the cheesy bread or the second topping or the sauces, but it’s nice to get my daughter a treat and that is no excuse for the order being that expensive.

  5. We’re in Indiana, so this should be ludicrous in terms of pricing. This used to be the pricing I would expect when we lived in L.A. and ordered from a good local place rather than a chain.

    Pizza prices shot through the roof and I honestly can’t say they are better than throwing a frozen pizza with some mozzarella added into the oven for less than half the total price. I don’t think I have made photos, but I legit had “pizzas” where the outer 2-3 inches had no toppings, just tomato sauce burnt onto the dough.

    this is central europe so frozen pizza is between 2-4 euros, 1 euro for mozzarella vs 8-10 euros for take out pizza.

    it’s also a lesser serving, so healthier.

      8-10 Euro for a pizza would be great. A normal/medium sized pizza that is not a is 15-17 euros for me here. I haven’t ordered food for half a year now or so, it’s not worth the money anymore.

      I’m sorry but this is hilarious. You spent less money and you got less food? Fascinating 😄
