    Asda and Sainsburys in the UK you can make your own pizza.

    2.50 for a 10" with 4 toppings and about 3.50 for 14" with 4 toppings. Fresh not frozen and bloody lovely.

    You have obviously never tasted the dominoes warm chocolate chip cookies.
    I did. They're AWFUL. (Didn't help that the ones they gave me were burnt, but still, the fact that they were burnt is bad enough.)

    Do they still do that in Tesco Ireland? I remember them having Pizza bars with the base premade and you just helped yourself to whatever toppings, pay by weight and stick it in the oven once you got home. They were nice pizzas!

    Ohhh that reminds me. Back in the day when Quinnsworth was still around they had a similar thing. Loads of trays of topping, sauce, different size base, pay by weight. Tasted lovely too. Then big bad tesco came in and got rid of it all

    jeez I didn't know their condition was so bad. I thought insulin took care of that mostly but you definitely raised my awareness.

    Not only is frozen pizza crap.

    But the chances of you having a pizza oven at home are pretty remote too and you wont get the same from your zanussi even if its cranked up to 400degs.

    :(

    Tesco do fresh pizzas and they are lovely (I'm sure the other supermarkets do too). A large ones costs around €3 iirc. Never understood the attraction for pizza takeaways either, massively overpriced, also you go to order with vouchers to be told the offers expired (not according to the voucher though :rolleyes:). Chinese, Indian takeaways etc I would preference anyday over them, each to their own I suppose.

    I fcuking hate frozen pizza. Cardboard with crap melted cheese. Pizza doesn't do it for me in general though. If I'm ordering takeaway, it is gonna be Chinese.

    I'd rather eat nothing than frozen pizza. As mentioned in every second post, it's absolute shíte. Even the chicago town ones are not great.

    Ordering online from dominos is the handiest thing ever. Although, you do feel like a fat lazy slob when you have to click a button that says "feed me"

    Frozen pizza is not a patch on takeaway pizza, plus I wouldnt spend an absolute fortune on it, only ever get it where there's a deal like a meal deal for a tenner or 2 for 1, any size for a tenner etc. You get far more in it than frozen pizza.

    Had the misfortune to take a job as a delivery driver for domino's at one time. I'd say 80-90% of people ordering were kids/students or people under 30. Half the time they lived in crapholes and the cost of the pizza would have been a good percentage of their weekly rent. The ingredients in the food were complete trash and it was cooked by people who knew nothing about cooking.

    The ridiculousness of the price hit home to me when I realised that I was spending less and getting more (better food) in the local chipper on my way home than if I had gotten something from the pizza place using a 50% staff discount.

    The mind boggles.

    You get two 16 inch pizzas for €10 from Mizzonis, hard to beat that value.

    not sure of the fat and salt content of dominoes or Apaches pizza but have you ever read the content on the supermarket pizzas

    truly frightening - one brand , meatysomething or other it was called and 1 quarter of this SMALL pizza was 100% of your recommended daily allowance of saturated fat ( trans fat - the heart killer )

    now just think about that - basically one slice was just about " ok "
    if you have a frozen pizza in your freezer go and have a look - now they do try make it so its near impossible to work it out but do try :eek:

    i promise you - after reading HOW MUCH CRAP is in frozen pizzas - you will think twice before gobbling down a 10 inch pizza

    has it never occurred why you can get a 12 inch pizza in centra for 2.99 ???

    not saying the chains are any better - but i know for a fact the frozen ones are lethal

    I once had a pizza with only the red sauce on the bread. Awful stuff

    I ALWAYS wind up with pizza like this and ALWAYS from Dumbinos too.
    I give it a year or so, then I'm out somewhere desperate hungry, say 'just this once' and that's what I get, consistently over the last few years, in just about every branch of Dumbinos there is :mad: (or else someone else pays for me, in which case I don't complain *always read the label*).
    Their food is SO over rated and incredibly stingy on toppings - management must be neo-nazi's on portion controle. That or staff deliberately hold back that day's nosh for a discounted/free feed of stuffed to the gills VERY special pizza to take home at night...

    Not a fan of garlic and I hate it when all frozen Mozzerella Pizza's bar M&S (which is delish) have garlic. DiFontaine's in Parliment St and Marios in Malahide are the 2 best Pizza's in Dublin

    This I could never understand. People ordering pizza from the likes of Domino's, apache and what have you

    For whatever you'd spend on ordering a pizza from one of them places you'd get a whole stack of perfectly good pizzas from the supermarket and throw them in the freezer. They are just about the easiest food to prepare you could think of and if you don't like the frozen stuff (which is certainly no worse than the shyte you'd order from these pizza places) they are not hard to make from scratch either.

    I tried this once when I was in the States. Fella shows up in whatever time it normally takes to remove the packaging and wait for it to cook in the oven, with a hape of burnt on the outside and still raw in the middle slap up and if you wouldn't give him the $2 or $3 tip he expected he'd come back the next day and burn your house down. For the tip alone I could have got a fecking massive frozen pizza from Wal*Mart

    Now the reason this has started to bother me is because I get shaggers ringing the bell at random times asking did I order a pizza. Had one fella today sneeze at me over the intercom and hang up then when I went down lo and behold some fecker standing there with a pizza for someone else.

    Also these lads seem to be doing a roaring trade in the middle of the recession so it must be fairly high on people's priorities. So what is the fecking attraction? Its massively popular with students too, you wouldn't think the same fella robbing toilet paper from the college would turn around and spend the best of 20e on a bloody pizza

    I was actually thinking about you just yesterday! :eek: Diesel underwear memory :D

    Hot fresh pizza for the win btw.

    I've a similar story:

    Had the misfortune to take a job as a delivery driver for Macaris at one time. I'd say 80-90% of people ordering were kids/students or people under 30. Half the time they lived in crapholes and the cost of the food would have been a good percentage of their weekly rent. The ingredients in the food were complete trash and it was cooked by people who knew nothing about cooking.

    The ridiculousness of the price hit home to me when I realised that I was spending less and getting more (better food) in the local pizza joint on my way home than if I had gotten something from the chipper using a 50% staff discount.

    The mind boggles.

    Almost all fast food is cooked by people who don't have a clue, and made with cheap ingredients.

    Not at all true of my local Indian and Chinese places as well as proper Italian places which also deliver pizza for cheaper. They all use decent ingredients and know how to cook and are cheaper than the likes of the pizza chains.
