    Yeah thats the point of the thread. No way is any supermarket pizza better than a pizza from one of the established pizza chains.

    However I did have the worst pizza of my life from a place on Stephens Street in Dublin. It smelled fantastic on the way home and we couldn't wait to tuck into it but ended up throwing it out. It turned out their pepperoni was some kind of fake spam which looked normal from a distance but tasted like filth.
    That was a kebab ;)

    It wasnt. The missus doesnt drink and she was as sickened by the pizza as I was. Shame about that Pizza place. They do some nice roast chickens but someone in theres got a blind spot about pizza.

    I like cooking by myself, since I am very clear about the family's taste.

    :pac: JK.
    I like kebabs but i hate Abrakebabra. Food and sevice is abysmal.
    Went in recently with a few mates.Service in Abra in Dundalk is a bit crazy @ the weekend but we thought we were ok.
    Anyway ordered the food.
    Ordered a load of food and i was the big man,i'm ordering so i will pay.Was sober enough to say "Can you seperate the order's" and server say's "yep".
    Every confidence that those behind the counter would get it right.

    So we get the food,everyones food apparantly in the right bag's and we head out into the night,say goodnight and go our seperate ways in taxis.
    Get home only to discover that i have all the "Fries",the other mate has all the burgers and the other one has the 3 flucking kebabs.:eek:
    Thanks Abra,loll'd the next,but right there and then i was bloody furious:)

    Dominos isn't great but it is edible.

    You can easily buy frozen pizza bases in Tesco (which are good quality) some passata, mozzarella and basil (AND MEAT IF YOU MUST), and fire the whole thing into the oven for 20 minutes. It makes a good pizza.

    Although my other half insists that the value meal rectangular pizzas you get in tesco are perfectly good as pizzas go, you just need to stick artichokes, rocket and parma ham on and have some good eating.

    Takeaway pizza is ridiculously overpriced but my god a Dominos Pepperoni pizza with chicken dippers, garlic bread and a crap load of garlic dip is fúcking sensational.

    Frozen pizza is crap... and I've tried every type there is!

    Nothing as easy as lifting your phone, opening the pizza app and resubmitting your fave pizza and beers, only takes 5 seconds. 20 mins later the delivery dude/dudess brings it to your door, swipes the debit card and you are back sitting on the couch with a tasty pizza and cold beers 2 mins later.

    Well worth the markup on any frozen pizza!

    They... deliver beer now? this changes EVERYTHING.

    Edit:
    Wait, you're in Hamburg. Toying with a man's emotions is cruel.

    I'm all for people doing what they want be but i find it funny when my house mates are eating €20 pizza's and giving me digs for being extravagant and eating steak a couple of times a week.

    First they came for the socialists...

    If I'm going to spend 20 quid on a takeaway, I'll get Indian or Thai.

    Not what is essentially circular toast with molten cheese and tomato on top.

    It never costs €20 or anything like it for a large pizza with the constant deals and coupons. Got a dominos yesterday. Large pizza, double decadence base, roquito sweet chilis, pepperoni, ventriciana salami and bacon delivered for €14.99.
    Still have enough of it left for lunch today. Would have been €11.99 had I collected it.

    Frozen pizzas are not even close.

    I've never paid €20 for pizza, there's always offers on.

    Best pizza I've had delivered is pizza hut express, followed by dominos.

    Best pizza I've had while out is Rays pizza by the central bank. That stuff is unbelieveable.

    Most are, but the Chicago Pizza Factory (or whatever they're called) ones are lovely.

    Chicago Town for €3-€5 vs €10-€15 and having to wait twice as long
    bit of a no brainer

    So you've never ordered a takeaway? Or even gone out to a restaurant or fast food place for that matter.

    If you have you must be a fúcking moron, apparently.

    Um yeah its is alot worse,
    340 cals for a SLICE of Dominoes with meat, and if you order pizza you usually don't have one slice.

    you can get a whole pizza in the supermarket that could be chicken and be 400 cals for the whole thing,

    but it doesn't taste as good, curse you grease. If all fried food and overly sugary food was banned I would be happy.

    As for the price, yeah well its a rip off but in the States fast food is a lot cheaper and I think people loose out if its more affordable if you become too relient on it, now don't go hiking the price of booze and ciggs on that bases sure we all still need to get wrecked.

    Dr Oetker Pizzas rock . I always pick them up at 2 Euro. Half the time they're selling for almost 4 euro and the other half of the time they are 2 Euro in a kind of semi permanent sale. However if they ever stop selling them for 2 Euro I'm off to Aldi and Lidl

    Sprinkle some olive oil on frozen pizza before cooking, makes a big difference.

    There is a lot of variation in quality in frozen pizzas. Also variation in ovens used to cook (hotspots, air circulation etc). Those "Milano" frozen pizzas are ****ing lovely (expensive tho). In the UK they have different name: "Pizza Express" pizzas, from the chain.

    My problem is I feel like total sh¡te after eating a dominos, its just so horribly greasy and stodgey, just look at the box it comes in, practically see-thru with the grease. I'm all gassy, sluggish, heartburny and constipated after it. It taste good in a durty salty fat bastard kinda way but the experience is too unnecessarily unhealthy for what you get out of it. And the sides are just so low grade and nasty.

    Gimme a Dr. Oetkar

    ever hear of a diabetic? 15 spoons of sugar in a regular coke would probably kill them.
