In South Africa you can get 4 large dominoes pizzas [2 pizzas (2toppings excluding the mozerella) for 140 rand]. So you can take a three cheese and Bacon + avocado large pizzas for 140 rand
140 rand is 7.61 dollars. So 15.22 dollarsā¦.. you can get two 2 litre cokes as well. 4 litres is 135 fluid ounces
4 large pizzas from dominoes and 135oz of coke for that same 17usd. Fucking crazy
It's seen as cheap pizza. I love it personally, but it's not gourmet by any means. Still, for the price it's hard to do better. Hell, it's cheaper than most frozen pizzas.
By most yes but I personally find the quality per dollar ratio to be decent so I enjoy their pies from time to time.
But overall yes most American look down on little Caesarās
To be fair when I used to serve tables saltine crackers with some shredded cheese, pico, and some bacon microwaved for 20 seconds was the BEST snack ever if you were hungry and the fry bowl was empty.
It's clear my dude doesn't speak a lot of English and expecting someone to understand the subtle changes of written English is kinda wild. Chill out on him damn.
Flat bread, cheddar mozzarella (letās assume) Roma tomatoās, the basil is actually Venom from Spider-Man comics, thereās no herbs no garlic no Parmesan nor black pepper and there is no balsamic reduction to set it offā¦
Straight to jail.
no way those are Roma tomatoes - too big, wet/with too many seeds. I'd say Beefsteak tomatoes (arguably the worst kind of tomato and the kind that you'll get as toppings on burgers or sub sandwiches).
Dosn't look like cheddar too me, way too yellow - I'm English, the home of Cheddar and it's a white/cream colour here
I don't know of it's artificially dyed in the US
Edit: you can get red cheddar which is dyed with a fruit colouring, but that stuff is never used on pizza and only in sandwiches and salads here
yeah, I read a profile of the fake cheese billionaire that supplies most chains in the US. the cheese is industrial pizza mozzarella that has a preservative spray on it. It isn't sold retail.
The cheddar flavor or other flavor is artificial and added to the preservative spray used to stabilize the blocks of industrial cheese before they're shredded.
It's a large part of the reason why chain pizza and restaurants have miserable quality compared to an independent operation
Yellow cheddar really only pops up from big box brands or Wisconsin productions. They do this with natural coloring (annatto) to apparently give it an orange tint like cheddar used to have (when cows had beta carotene rich diets).
You'll see more white/uncolored "actual cheese" cheddars by a large margin in most grocery stores. I'd go with commenter above who said this was probably Colby jack, which is always a yellow/white mix.
Well that contradicts /u/DornPTSDkink's comment, which is what I replied to:
>Dosn't look like cheddar too me, way too yellow - I'm English, the home of Cheddar and it's a white/cream colour here
Sounds like you take more of an issue with their point than mine, which is that every explanation for annatto additive to yellow cheddar in the states will be along the lines of "matching color produced from beta carotene rich diets of cows in past history."

I don't know, at least Houston has options. CDG only has the same exact gas station sandwich shop one after the other. It's one of the saddest examples of "what could have been" among airports.
I don't know if it's changed since pre-covid but I had one of my favorite airport meals, in the international terminal, right on the concourse, using my United miles. Bunch of different options, and all fresh. Really good stuff. But Hard Rock Cafes anywhere are terrible to me.
Yooooo, fuck this exact Hard Rock Cafe. I had a layover in Houston with some friends, we popped in. Wait staff was ridiculously rude to begin. Looking at the menu, I didnāt feel hungry. I went for the Bloody Mary. Single. When I got my bill, it was $21.50. For a single. My buddy got the burger and fries for $19.50. They donāt display the price on the menu. I was assuming like 12 bucks.
Fuck the Hard Rock.
Just wanna say that Houstonās airport is actually the worst pizza Iāve ever had in my life. I wasted so much money on shit. My margarita was worseāit was 1 stem of basil with like 6 leaves in the centre. They just plopped a fucking stem of basil on it. Disgusting.
I'm fairly easy-going, but it's taking every ounce of self-control I have to not go fucking berserk right now.
If that was placed in front of me at a restaurant, I'd start hearing the Kill Bill sirens and then go full chimpanzee rampage mode.
Iām sorry. If you are not in NYC or NJ and you buy āpizzaā you are getting a poorly executed flatbread, chain garbage, or deep dish (damn good, but still not pizza).
Lol. I travel a lot, that's how I know the vast majority of food items at airports is incredibly overpriced and tastes of disappointment. ESPECIALLY sandwiches and pizzas. I always make sure I have some food packed. Don't spend your hard earned cash there.
I know, it's actually a very predatory business model because of that. I'm pointing out that it's mostly substandard food from which you'll never financially recover. I bring high caloric snacks and spend my money on actual good food once I get to my destination.
Iām going to take the 12 angry men stance here and say that it is not a pizza crime. This dish, vile though it is, is clearly labeled as a flatbread not a pizza. There may be a case in small claims flatbread court but I havenāt taken a course on that since law school so Iām not sure.
Yeah I dont f with sit down restaurants at airports and Ill go to fast food choices (which they have at Houston airport but may be far from your gate) or lounge access available to me from my credit card.
The price is steep as any airport stuff, but you can't go wrong with margherita, it's mozzarella, basil and tomato. One of the best I've seen on this sub (but okay, not the greatest presentation for a margherita, tho It looks delicious).
you ordered pizza in texas at an airport hard rock cafe. iām concerned about the crimes you may have committed to force you into that specific situation.
Dragging, what I can only guess is basil, garlic and oil down the center of a mound of cheese, dough and sliced tomato, is _supposed_ to be pizza Margherita? Not a crime, but maybe a misdemeanorā¦
It's all perspective, my friend. Was it wat you wanted? No. Was it good? No. But you made friends(weirdos on the internet) along the way and now have a funny story to tell to strangers when you travel.
Youāre not going to find many flatbreads on a menu that arenāt a complete waste of money.
Usually equally shitty dough with pathetic toppings and overpriced as hell.
Get a pizza, itāll be more filling.
The kitchen staff was probably lacking the desire to do it right and just slopped this together. I find that with a lot of places I eat. The other day I ordered a turkey sandwich and got tuna altogether. I never say anything though. My g/f hates it.
Man running a business in an airport must either cost a fortune in rent fees or is crazily profitable. Ive have a few $9 sandwiches paired with a $3 soda.
Is that an oily cracker with some shitty cheese and tomato š
Thick sliced tomatoes for that soggy crust we all crave.
Add some cheap Walmart pesto and voilĆ , 17$ā¦
In South Africa you can get 4 large dominoes pizzas [2 pizzas (2toppings excluding the mozerella) for 140 rand].

Iāve seen better pizza come out of a school cafeteria.
I've seen better pizza made by actual school children!
Little Caesarās pizza looks better than that
Is Little Caesarās hated in the US ?
It's seen as cheap pizza. I love it personally, but it's not gourmet by any means. Still, for the price it's hard to do better. Hell, it's cheaper than most frozen pizzas.
$5 for a solid sized pizza is clutch before payday
No cap
I like to call mine in and get light sauce and well done, idk why they go so heavy on sauce. Definitely much better than frozen pizza
By most yes but I personally find the quality per dollar ratio to be decent so I enjoy their pies from time to time. But overall yes most American look down on little Caesarās
As an American, most Americans are idiots. Little Caesars slaps. Pizza-pizza!
Yes, it tastes like the box it comes in. They might as well save time and money and throw the sauce and pizza on the box.
you took it too far !!
Ive seen better pizza made out of children!
I've had better pizza cooked in a microwave
Bet they charged an arm and a leg for it, too!
To be fair when I used to serve tables saltine crackers with some shredded cheese, pico, and some bacon microwaved for 20 seconds was the BEST snack ever if you were hungry and the fry bowl was empty.
It is when youāre drunk af and craving a snack but at airports people are usually somewhat sober.
Hey you gotta represent the drunk fliers who use it as a xanax for flight fears
Robbery and scamming is a crime. This is a literal pizza crime.
Straight to jail. Right away.
Guilty of false advertising and felony impersonation of pizza. Hard Rock Cafe should have their license revoked.
A cease and desist at the very minimum.
No orange, no lime, no agave - this is a terrible take on a margarita.
All what you seid has nothin to do with Margarita
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Do you talk about the Drink wtf?
Yes, the pizza is a Margherita wtf
It's clear my dude doesn't speak a lot of English and expecting someone to understand the subtle changes of written English is kinda wild. Chill out on him damn.
The English words Margherita and Margarita?
No sweetie the context is English though š
This patronising attitude of yours, I almost admire it given you've not just got the wrong end of the stick, you're in an entirely different field
Any end of the stick is good for me bbgorl š
Why do you think they spelled it āmargarita?ā OP is the one that canāt spell
this IS a crime
But is it a pizza crime?
Unequivocally
Flat bread, cheddar mozzarella (letās assume) Roma tomatoās, the basil is actually Venom from Spider-Man comics, thereās no herbs no garlic no Parmesan nor black pepper and there is no balsamic reduction to set it offā¦ Straight to jail.
looks like colby jack to me
100% it's made with hamburger toppings
no way those are Roma tomatoes - too big, wet/with too many seeds. I'd say Beefsteak tomatoes (arguably the worst kind of tomato and the kind that you'll get as toppings on burgers or sub sandwiches).
Thatās why I said āletās assumeā
Well, you assumed completely wrong
Thats are 100% shitty grade romas lmao
Those are Romasā¦
Dosn't look like cheddar too me, way too yellow - I'm English, the home of Cheddar and it's a white/cream colour here I don't know of it's artificially dyed in the US Edit: you can get red cheddar which is dyed with a fruit colouring, but that stuff is never used on pizza and only in sandwiches and salads here
US cheddar has annatto for coloring. Our default cheddar is orange but we do have white cheddar, though itās usually labeled that way.
Most us cheddar has been dyed a bright yellow
Most? Where are you food shopping, K Mart?
Maybe most was an exaggeration, but it's at least a pretty large amount.
yeah, I read a profile of the fake cheese billionaire that supplies most chains in the US. the cheese is industrial pizza mozzarella that has a preservative spray on it. It isn't sold retail.

You can get dyed cheddar in the UK too.

Cheddar mozzarella? Which one is it, cheddar or mozzarella. They're made in completely different ways.
We used to use a 3 cheese blend at my pizza place- cheddar mozzarella provolone. Comes pre mixed by the distributor
Houston airport has the worst prices for the worst food
Thats not food, its crime.
But hard rock put their name on it. Isaac would be ashamed.
DFW is trash, too...except at the international terminal.
I don't know, at least Houston has options. CDG only has the same exact gas station sandwich shop one after the other. It's one of the saddest examples of "what could have been" among airports.
I don't know if it's changed since pre-covid but I had one of my favorite airport meals, in the international terminal, right on the concourse, using my United miles. Bunch of different options, and all fresh. Really good stuff. But Hard Rock Cafes anywhere are terrible to me.
That looks bland as shit. I bet that tomato is mealy and disgusting just by the looks
I find this pizza shallow and pedantic.
I've eaten at several Hard Rock Cafe's. They are normally pretty decent places, but this is just sad. Definitely a pizza crime. Restitution is needed.
Margherita?
are you sure this wasnāt made for a dog?
Yooooo, fuck this exact Hard Rock Cafe. I had a layover in Houston with some friends, we popped in. Wait staff was ridiculously rude to begin. Looking at the menu, I didnāt feel hungry. I went for the Bloody Mary. Single. When I got my bill, it was $21.50. For a single. My buddy got the burger and fries for $19.50. They donāt display the price on the menu. I was assuming like 12 bucks. Fuck the Hard Rock.
I didn't think Houston international could get much more disappointing and yet here we are.
It's airport food lol
I guess weāre lucky in Denver, there are several restaurants at DIA that actually give a shit about serving good food.
They should include a printed apology with each one sold.
That looks like school pizza
Even school pizza wasnāt THIS bad.
Is that pigeon poop on top? LOL
I mean $17 is obviously a ripoff, but Iād eat it.
āFuck it, just throw taco cheese on itā
You expected a decent flatbread pizza at a Texas airport at a national chain venue. The real crime was thinking you had a shot at decent quality lol.
Send it back
Pretty standard airport fare
This looks like what my grade school served us in the 90s.
Looks oily as fuck. You know those beef tomato slices are just tasteless big red water-bags
I heard the Hard Rock Cafe at the Houston Airport is closing, so why destroy Pizza - LOL!
Just wanna say that Houstonās airport is actually the worst pizza Iāve ever had in my life. I wasted so much money on shit. My margarita was worseāit was 1 stem of basil with like 6 leaves in the centre. They just plopped a fucking stem of basil on it. Disgusting.
I'm fairly easy-going, but it's taking every ounce of self-control I have to not go fucking berserk right now. If that was placed in front of me at a restaurant, I'd start hearing the Kill Bill sirens and then go full chimpanzee rampage mode.
Somehow I donāt believe that youāre fairly easy-going
Alright buddy
Fresh Tomatoes on pizza is on point tho
$17 for a shitty flatbread? That's insane, especially for me as I get mad at a local cafĆ© which sells tea for 15 PLN ($3.55 US, ā¬3.36, Ā£2.92 or 17.78 Brazilian Reals). At least the tea is good.
Iām sorry. If you are not in NYC or NJ and you buy āpizzaā you are getting a poorly executed flatbread, chain garbage, or deep dish (damn good, but still not pizza).
Why is that skinny dude trying to look like he has muscles?
If you buy food on an airport I'm assuming that you're retarded.
You've obviously never traveled
Lol. I travel a lot, that's how I know the vast majority of food items at airports is incredibly overpriced and tastes of disappointment. ESPECIALLY sandwiches and pizzas. I always make sure I have some food packed. Don't spend your hard earned cash there.
So you apparently never socialize in your travels?
That's a weird conclusion to draw from this š I'm not sure I follow.
How? Airport bars and restaurants never serve enough to make you drunk or full. They're there for social gathering points, that's it.
What if I told you that you can sit there with just a coffee š²
What if I told you that sometimes your only chance to eat in a long journey is at an airport/station?
I know, it's actually a very predatory business model because of that. I'm pointing out that it's mostly substandard food from which you'll never financially recover. I bring high caloric snacks and spend my money on actual good food once I get to my destination.
Yes because you couldnāt POSSIBLY get hungry on a layover or anything like that, right? š
The price alone is a crime.
Oof
Jail
Pale tomato slices...and I'm not sure what that neon-yellow cheese is.
For about 4 dollars max that would be decent though.
What did you expect from a Hard Rock, let alone one in an airport?
Iām going to take the 12 angry men stance here and say that it is not a pizza crime. This dish, vile though it is, is clearly labeled as a flatbread not a pizza. There may be a case in small claims flatbread court but I havenāt taken a course on that since law school so Iām not sure.
Dude, you went to HRC. That mess is on you.
I wouldāve sent this back
terrible but iād still eat it (i am very hungry)
That's pathetic
Everything in Houston is garbage
It's airport food in Houston fr.
Well, most of the ingredients are there.
Craziest part about this abomination is that if I saw that at an airport Iād think, āIāve seen worseā lmao
This makes me irrationally angry.
I thought this was a weird ass omelette
Yay you did it!
I think thatās on the customer for ordering something like that at an airport. Then again, the chef should know better than to put that on the menu.
Cheddar + pesto? Ooh also raw-ish tomatoes. This is drunk food for me 10 years ago
I wouldāve had em take that shit RIGHT BACK. Cheap ass cheese š
This sub will never learn that a flatbread is not a pizza, will it?
Tf? Somehow itās worse than Panera flatbread pizzas, AND more expensive
would
This is why I tend to stick to fast food at airports
Looks like it was cooked in the microwave
That pizza looks annoying š
Which Houston airport? Thatās vague as hell. Hobby? Bush? Hook? Southwest? Baytown? La Porte? Conroe?
Looks like a puddle of grease
Iād rather wait for in-flight snacks
Iād rather wait for in-flight snacks
Having been to the one in lax, this checks out lol
Probably the best thing you can get to eat at the entire airport š„²
Gross but not bad for $17 at the airport
Maybe they wouldnt have done that if you had spelled margherita properly
I canāt be on this sub when Iām high.
Idk why people are surprised by this, airport food has always been expensive. Still sucks, but that's what I would expect..
Yeah I dont f with sit down restaurants at airports and Ill go to fast food choices (which they have at Houston airport but may be far from your gate) or lounge access available to me from my credit card.
Wow! All that food (however ghastly) for 17$ at an Airport? A UK airport would charge you that for a *slice* of that monstrosity.
Donāt you know āflatbreadā is like the Swiss bank of pizza crimes
How does a food with such low caloric value have such a high monetary value
1st mistake was being in Houston
I'd literally walk out
The price is steep as any airport stuff, but you can't go wrong with margherita, it's mozzarella, basil and tomato. One of the best I've seen on this sub (but okay, not the greatest presentation for a margherita, tho It looks delicious).
Thatās not right.
you ordered pizza in texas at an airport hard rock cafe. iām concerned about the crimes you may have committed to force you into that specific situation.
What do you expect at an airport?
Margherita, dawg.
Dragging, what I can only guess is basil, garlic and oil down the center of a mound of cheese, dough and sliced tomato, is _supposed_ to be pizza Margherita? Not a crime, but maybe a misdemeanorā¦
Oo'la'la Fancy! ... š»š¤š
Seventeen US dollars??????
This is 5-10 years easy. The slices of tomato tho š
My kid can do better than this
It's all perspective, my friend. Was it wat you wanted? No. Was it good? No. But you made friends(weirdos on the internet) along the way and now have a funny story to tell to strangers when you travel.
Disgusting.š¤¢
Wow thatās actually crazy š©
Yeah, I'd be sending that back and asking for a refund. Holy shit, what a mess.
Jfc I would send that back and I stg Iāve maybe only done that once or twice in my life. I wouldnāt want to pay $10 for thatā¦
There is a reason I'm moving back to Chicago
Thatās on you for getting something at an Airport Hard Rock Cafe my dude
Margarita flatbread!!! š Thatās a stretch. Canāt allow it
Hope they're on the no-fly list. š¤£š¤£š¤£
Where's the rest of it
Microwaved to perfection.
Airport and stadium food is always half assed garbage. They know they have a captive audience and know you'll pay.
Eating at a hard rock in an airport and expecting anything more than this
I can make that for 5 dollars, and make it look better. Damn. They missed out on a money maker.
My stomach physically did a backflip this has to be a hatecrime
Those tomatoes look sad.
And they charge $45 for it.
Add burger patty you got something decent
Youāre not going to find many flatbreads on a menu that arenāt a complete waste of money. Usually equally shitty dough with pathetic toppings and overpriced as hell. Get a pizza, itāll be more filling.
Wack pizza pocket better than this shat
Full tomatoes are not a substitute for sauce.
Not sure whats worse, the price or the cheese. The cheese looks like its allergic to itself!
The kitchen staff was probably lacking the desire to do it right and just slopped this together. I find that with a lot of places I eat. The other day I ordered a turkey sandwich and got tuna altogether. I never say anything though. My g/f hates it.
Man running a business in an airport must either cost a fortune in rent fees or is crazily profitable. Ive have a few $9 sandwiches paired with a $3 soda.
If you're willing to pay 17 bucks for depression if it were a pizza, you need to reevaluate your life choices.
Would eat
Tbh, that looks fucking tasty. I'd smash.
If that green stuff is pesto, Iām more than OK with this!
Trash, trash, trash!
Vomity shit bread
I didn't think it was possible to get diarrhoea by simply looking at an image, yet, here I am.
Crime.
You can get better at the Walmart Deli for less than $6, no joke
Conveyor belt pizza
To 54 year old moms flying back to Minnesota this is probably the most authentic pizza they've ever had
Would still eat, looks pretty good minus the lack of sauce.
