    Everyone in these comments needs Jesus lol. Frozen pizza sucks ass, and we only eat it because it’s convenient. It’s not even cheaper than take out anymore with inflation. I can get a 3 topping large carry out from Dominos for like $7-8 (I forget), which is the same damn price anymore for a tiny mediocre frozen pizza from the grocery store. If you really want it NOW, go to Costco’s food court and get huge ass slices for $2 each.

    EDIT: Apparently I need to provide some sources since I’m being downvoted to hell

    Dominos nationwide has always offered carryout coupons. At the moment, my local Dominos has the following 3:

    For $7.99 each, carry out all pizzas with 1 topping on any of our 5 crusts - $7.99
    1 Large 3 Topping Pizza – Carryout Only - $10.99
    Large Pizza with up to 5 Toppings - Carryout Only - $13.99
    

    I’ll concede the 3 topping is not the $7-8 I remember, but if we just roll with the Large 1 topping, which IS $7.99, and we specifically take a look at the quantity of food you get by referencing the nutritional facts: https://cache.dominos.com/olo/6_131_2/assets/build/market/US/_en/pdf/DominosNutritionGuide.pdf

    We can quickly figure out the total calories in a 14" Dominos carry out Pepperoni pizza for $7.99 with a coupon that’s always available.

    160 calories - 14" Hand Tossed
     10 calories - Pizza Sauce
    100 calories - Regular Cheese
     40 calories - Pepperoni
    310 calories total times 8 slices
    

    = 2,480 calories

    So @samus12345@lemmy.world I have no idea what you’re talking about when you say a large 3 topping is $26.34. Clearly you don’t know how coupons work.

    @frickineh@lemmy.world if you go look at the total calories in your Totino’s Party Pizza, you’ll find the whole box is around 600 calories for $2 at Walmart so if you buy 4 of them to match the calories in the Dominos pizza, it comes out to the same $8 you’d spend at Dominos. You can also go to Costco and spend those same $2 for 710 calories of 1/6 of a Costco Pepperoni pizza.

    All of this is to say your average freezer aisle grocery store pizza has around 750 calories for around $7, which comes out to roughly 100 calories per dollar. You get much better value doing takeout from Dominos, and if you’re going to eat the frozen pizza as soon as you get home anyways like the Tweet suggested, you might as well get more bang for your buck.

      First of all, I just checked the Dominos site and that price is a straight up lie even with a coupon. Second, are you really trying to say they make pizza that’s any better than frozen? Last time I ate there, it was borderline inedible, and I’m not a snob - I used to happily eat the Totino’s party pizzas that are like, $1.25.

      your frozen pizzas suck ass, COOP here in sweden has great frozen pizzas that feel like 3x as healthy as restaurant pizzas and are some of the cheaper food you can find.

      Just checked out of curiosity and a large 3 topping carry out is $26.34 here in California.

      EDIT: With the new goalposts of a large single topping pizza with a coupon, it’s $8.99 here. But you’re not being downvoted for being wrong about pricing or whatever, you are because you’re being an ass.
