Currently chomping on my emergency pizza… almost lasted a week in the freezer.
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 - $13.99I’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.
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.
Same in Germany
just buy pizza dough, tomato sauce, mozzarella and toppings of your choice and make a fresh pizza. Takes 2min to prepare. It’s healthier and tastes much better.
For an extra ten or 15 minutes of active time, you can make the dough and sauce from scratch. Dough is definitely a bit more work, and requires a few hours of rising time and all that, but sauce is really easy - take a can of good tomatoes, blend it up, add salt, and that’s all you need. You can add herbs/spices or sugar or tomato paste or whatever else to customize it if you want, but just tomatoes and salt will go a long way.
For an extra few months of work, you could even grow your own tomatoes and herbs, and mine your own salt.
For a few extra eons of work you could even turn a sea into your own layer of fresh rock salt
There are people in this world who have seriously tried to sell me on the idea that frozen pizza is just as good as delivery.
And those people worry me.
Delivery pizza is always soggy with no proper crust, imo worse than some frozen pizza
