A quarter century is a long time in fast food terms.

-Bruh, when the wife and kids are out of town it's Safeway Select 2 extra large pizzas for $10 and a bottle of firewater to wash it down for another 10. In terms of volume it's absolutely more food.

Store brand pizzas like that are the ones I would not pay for. Crusts are lifeless.

Sorry to hear that you disowned your daughter

i had one of those 5$ pizzas once, and it was trash

There were a pizza joint or two downtown here but haven't seen anything like it in ~20 years. You would walk in, go to the counter and get a take out slice, eat it on the run. Not too bad, IIRC. I can't remember buying pizza since then. I make my own. I prep dough in bread machine, enough for 4 pizzas at once, freeze 3 in pint containers, prep one. My Italian sauce is from my canning home grown vine ripened tomatoes, which I've done for many years. I bought a couple 12" pizza screens recently, really helps insure a satisfactory product.

You guys just made me want cheap pizza. I do have Little Caesars 3 miles away but Dominos is closer at 1.5 miles. Dominos also have the $7.99 large 3 toppings pizza carryout deal. I let my daughter choose the toppings and she chose pepperoni, ham, and pineapple.

This was my first Dominos order since 2018. Verdict? It's more than acceptable for $8.61 which is what I paid with tax. Little light on cheese but that's understandable since that's the most expensive part of a pizza. In comparison, even simple Big Mac meal is now $8.39 after tax. So $8.61 for 14 inch pizza 2 people can easily share is not bad deal at all.

Looks good to me, and I do like the combination. I sometimes put pineapple on my DIY pizzas, keep some chopped, bagged, in the freezer. When I buy a pineapple, that's where it goes for later use (pizza, sweet & sour pork, smoothies, maybe some apricot/pineapple jam).

Flavor is communication.

A Hawaiana with pepperoni is what I describe that Domino's Pizza.

I worked for Dominos in a Spanish-heavy area. Didn't take much for me to permanently associate pineapple and ham as Hawaiana because that is how they say Hawaiian. Remember, ROMANCE LANGUAGE WORDS DON'T USUALLY END IN CONSONANTS.

We have two mom & pop pizza places here in town. We drive ~25 miles into Aberdeen for Westside Pizza. It seems to be the best in the region...but a large will run $25 or more without coupons. The two places here are priced about the same...maybe 10-15% more, but not nearly as good.

I haven't tried Westside yet, there isn't one in Olympia (probably too much competition) and when I'm in another town, I usually shoot for a local place, that one seemed kind of a chain so I've passed it up so far.

this is the critical flaw of romance languages

well, that and having to assign a random gender to every inanimate object you ever encounter

I actually like Domino's Pizza since they upgraded their recipe some years ago. Considering where fast food prices have gone over three decades, it's a crazy good deal. A medium pizza for under $9 that feeds about three people (or two American adults ).

Wow.... last time I ordered Domino's (a LONG time ago!) it looked nothing like that!

If it had I might have ordered it again!

Chain pizza is weird. There's little consensus on the "best," but that probably is partly due to franchising.

Domino's upgraded its recipe some 5+ years ago (don't recall exactly) and it's a solid product when you consider they always have an $8 large carryout special. IMO it's a lot better than the LC $5.55 pepperoni that I picked up earlier.

The Extra Most Bestest is probably a better comparison than the "classic pepperoni"

LC around me is only open like 4 days a week now and only from 3-9 or so. Must have lost all of their workers.

What the local Domino's sent me was a poor excuse for a pizza that's all I can say. Never mind a "real" pizza, Papa John's put it to shame. (I'll see if I can find the picture)

Fortunately New Haven has no shortage of great pizza places even late-night.

EDIT: Looks like Google deleted the picture of the "pizza" from my review .... too bad it was laughable.

The deal (see above) was for a classic pepperoni and bread sticks for $6, so I was roped in. Maybe in a year, I'll try your rec.

Cheese Board Pizza is a Berkeley institution.

Haven't been in there since probably over 40 years! They are on northside, and I used to live on northside, but have been living on southside for almost 40 years. They are about 2 miles from me.

The pizza I made 5 days ago rocked!

My home grown, home made pizza sauce
DIY dough (bread machine)
~5 kinds of cheese
~4 kinds of meat including pepperoni and sausage, bacon
Onions, bell pepper, mushrooms, pineapple
Professional 12" pizza screen
~500F oven

Making another one Saturday.

I prefer the mom and pop shops, but in a crunch (or if it's a monday and all other pizza places are closed) i will go to Domino's , i'll never buy anything from Pizza Hut, i find their pizza greasy and terrible..LC maybe if i just want to grab a hot'n ready but that's maybe once every couple of years, it gives me heartburn every time. I just counted because i'm curious, we have about 18 different pizza places for a town of 50k , that seems like a lot.

I don't know if anybody else does this, but at the Pizza Hut in my old town, they'd literally spray it down with Gold N Sweet after it was done cooking.
