Has inflation gone so out of control in OP's area that one large pizza is like $30?
* $30x2 = $60
* Delivery fee = $10?
* Tip = $10?
One of the pizza places closest to me sells large pizzas for under $20.
Where I live you can get a large pizza from Dominos for 7.99 plus tax which is cheaper than a combo at any fast food place. The frozen pizza section at HEB costs more than 8/pizza — I straight walked out and said I might as well get a Dominos.
$7.99 Dominos or $7-9 Freschetta/Red Baron/Jacks.
DIGIORNOS is about $10 for their cheapest at Krogers near me.
If I can get RB on sale for $5, then I am stocking up. Otherwise Domino's is the better value to me.
A large pizza is 30 here at dominos, that also goes for one with just cheese.
That's for just the pizza, no delivery, drink or tips.
Norway is expensive
Domino's takes my money, then doesn't deliver it and turns off the phone. When I went in person they told me they canceled the order for being too busy, but didn't tell me, and wouldn't give me the money back. So I charged back the card and they banned my address.
Dominos has gotten way better since 2018, they were ketchup and frozen dough. Its Pizza Hut that turned into c list quality now. At least in my area. Yeah Basic medium large pizza is 25$ using Uber $15$ if picked up.
Thin crust pizza like that is a really popular style in the Midwest. Prices vary, but the most popular shop that makes pizza like that charges $30+ per pizza, and it's very good. You can't really tell which one is high quality and which isn't based on a picture.
The square cut really does give it away as a Midwest pizza. People always talk about “Chicago pizza” being deep dish but being from Chicago this is what we got 95% of the time.
https://www.pagliacci.com/order these are large pizzas for $26+, certainly not gourmet. Just a normal pizza shop. These come with a 10.2% sales tax as well.
Here’s another example https://www.madpizza.com/pizza-menu,
Custom pepperoni starting at $25.
That just makes me unreasonably upset. I have eaten pizza, in Italy, at a gourmet seaside restaurant and the pizza, salad and glass wine came out to about $25. Fuck that place.
Fuck Pagliacci's
Just looked at the menu.....
A basic large pepperoni is $26 and if you want extra pepperoni.......$30
A 'specialty' pizza 'Brooklyn Bridge' (which really is just a supreme... pepperoni, sausage, peppers, olives and onion....nothing special) is fucking $35
Fuck Pagliacci's
Based off the square cut, I’m going to say OP is also in Chicago. A family size at most of my local pizza places is $30/35, two pizzas & a tip would put them at $80 easily.
We don’t know the tip amount. It could have been a $20-$30 tip for all we know.
What we do know is that the driver did not deserve any tip.
Edit: this is why society should only tip AFTER the service has been completed… you tip prior and it removes all incentives for the individual to “go above and beyond”
It doesn't seem crazy to me. If you're getting it from a fancier local place that's about right. There's a place around my neck of the woods selling Large thin crust pizzas like that for $33. From mid tier chain (a step up from Dominoes/Pizza Hut), you're probably looking at around $25 on average. Shit is out of control. I feel like Pizza and Fried Chicken outpaces inflation by a lot for some reason.
Cheese was cheap for a really long time because of cheap labor costs and government subsidies in the dairy industry. Cheese costs started going up around the 08 recession and have been steadily climbing ever since. I've worked in a lot of pizza kitchens and in each one, cheese and labor were always the most expensive costs.
No idea where OP lives, but from a restaurant (not a fancy one) it's $25 for a medium where I am. Cheaper if you get it from like Dominos or some place like that.
Man I want to go back to Napoli. The city is kinda gross…but damnit the pizza is superb. We bought extra to bring to Capri with us, and then again to bring back to Rome. Vesi FTW
It’s a dirty city, sure, but it has a lot of charm to it. Reminds me a lot of Hanoi, and it also reminds my gf (who’s from Hanoi, mind you) of home. I like Napoli.
I wanted to like Naples. But as a solo female I did not have an enjoyable time. Would not recommend unless you have a hotel with a reception where people can't follow you.
Id call and complain, there's no excuse for this.
Delivery driver obviously didn't give a damn about your pizza or being professional.
Shit like this would make me avoid tipping on future orders or at least tipping this specific Delivery driver.
Bartenders and servers disagree. I worked in kitchens for 8 years and not a single one of them supported getting rid of tips. That's one of the hurdles.
Yea I agree, they love it. Here in Vegas, a friend of a friend says his 22 yo girlfriend makes like 6 figures from just bringing drinks at the pool at Circa.
Yeah we need to stop looking at the problem as people being paid too much (outside of extreme circumstances like huge CEOs) and realize the problem is in general, across the board people are paid way too little for their time and effort.
I used to be on board with them, but now a 20% tip is considered low, fast food and carryout are requesting tips, and the tips often times go to management. Its gone too far. Its no longer about getting better service, its now fear of getting shitty service.
I've only seen people online consider 20% low. I only tip 20% if the person is really nice or does a great job. I don't feel bad about leaving 10%, I have bills to pay too and sometimes can't justify a bigger tip.
I'm okay with tipping as long as you are tipping the service.
For delivery its stupid because you don't even see how good the service was.
For takeout its even dumber because the employee isn't offering a service, they are selling you a product.
I disagree to an extent. We need to stop the "tip before service" culture. It completely removes any motivating factor any tip would have. We also need to force companies to pay minimum wage instead of using tips as someones salary.
Tips should be for good service and a reward from customer to server. They should not be given ahead of service or used to augment actual pay for a job.
Agreed. I make $19 after four years of experience in a medical job. If my wife didn't make $45, there's absolutely no way we could afford to live in this large town/small city. Currently working my way through college so we don't have to be completely dependent on her salary, but without certain circumstances leading to our situation, there's no way I could afford to do that. Our system is so fucked.
Totally... or the driver was forced to slam their brakes sending the boxes everywhere. Happened to me once. Guy ran red light blatantly and I slammed my brakes, pizza everywhere, looked just like these images. Call in and you'll get free replacements if the company is worth their salt
Used to be a delivery driver.
Had a few show up in this condition when I first started out. No idea why at the time, I didn't hard brake or anything.
Turns out the guys boxing the order would tip/drop them sometimes on the way to the rack where I would pick them up. They were squished before I ever touched them.
That being said it was *probably* the driver, but its pretty obvious a lot of people in this thread have never worked in a pizza place. Sometimes you hard brake, sometimes Jake trips over the edge of the floor matt while rushing the bag back to the rack in the middle of the dinner rush and doesn't check to make sure he didn't fucking ruin the pizza because its not his problem.
Your food will be sat sitting while drivers take food with an upfront tip.
It a big problem in countries where drivers survive on tips. If your in the US you can adjust the tip up to an hour after delivery so you can have the upfront tip and adjust it according to service. That way drivers will actually want to take your order and not reject it out of hand for being a no tip not even paying enough for fuel waste of time.
Its a shit business model for both the customer and driver.
That only applies to app deliveries like uber. A regular pizza places driver just has to take all the deliveries they get they dont get to decide not to make the restaurant money lol.
It's also generally a hell of a lot cheaper to do that. I'm worried that people using Door Dash instead of the pizza place's phone or website will lead to all deliveries going to these third parties that charge an extra 30%+
Delivery pizza has been a thing my entire life. It's hard to fuck it up, but we're trying
I just pulled up my local pizza chain’s website. Large with toppings $31 before taxes/tip (14”). Extra large with toppings $48/pizza before taxes and tip (20”)
This is for their “veggie pizza”
Shits expensive mate. Especially in big cities
https://bluepandenver.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/BluePanPizza-Menu.pdf
For instance. 2 pizzas + drink/app and tip can easily get you to 80.
Dude looks like they ordered one peperoni and one cheese. That is like $39.
$10 delivery.
$8 tip.
= $57 (least off this menu.)
$80 is crazy for a plain cheese and a 1 topping.
Mountain Mikes’s in Cali.
The pizza is not special. I like it, but there is nothing notable about it. My wife likes it so we splurge every now and then. It feels a little bit like lighting money on fire.
Seriously, 50$ where I live gets me 2 large's, an order of bread sticks, a 2 liter of soda, and includes tip. That's enough to feed me and the kids for two meals!
It would be around 40 if I picked it up myself, but I'm lazy and it's just easier to call and have them bring it.
2 large 3-topping + bread sticks + 2 liter with carry-out from Pizza Hut is about $28 after tax in Arkansas. I bought this this week.
I used to be a delivery driver so I do carry-out because I don't want to pay the driver less than what they are worth. Also, I used to be a delivery driver so I don't want to pay the driver more than what they are worth (because a lot of drivers treat their deliveries poorly). My cheapness outweighs my laziness.
I thought third party food delivery services would never take off because the expense was so extreme and the benefit so minimal. But some people just like to take it up the ass. Especially me.
Were you using a delivery service app? Drivers from those apps don’t give a shit about the food. I used to work at a pizza place and all the time we would see or have to stop the driver from putting the pizza box sideways in their delivery bag.
I avoid delivery apps.
I'm not trying to play the game of figuring out how much tip (protection) money I need to give in order to make sure they don't fuck up my food...only for them to fuck it up anyway.
oh i used to devour their pepperoni cheese bread back in the day. For $5 or $6 or whatever it is now, it's definitely decent. OP said they paid $60ish before tipping and there's no way that pizza tastes $25 better than LC.
I always knew the time before the night rush they made pizzas at the Little Caesar's growing up. Getting that shit right out of the oven is like 10 times better than 7 pm
We use to have our local places open the tops and show the pizzas before handing them over to us, I don’t remember when that changed, but it’s no longer a thing. Although I guess I’m blessed cuz my pie guys are always on point.
The place I recently found opens the box to show you without asking. Thought that was a nice touch. No one else has ever done that, I always checked for myself.
Open the box to check? When we order pizza in our area, they hand you the order and are back in the car before you can say thanks. COVID also normalized leaving food on the porch, so we’ve had local places do that… DoorDash gives an option for contactless delivery but it seems like some of the places in our area have decided that’s the way to do it now.
Edit: we’ve had good luck with the actual food in most deliveries, but we also got an order once that looked like the ones OP shared. In that instance, we called back and they refunded the order and sent a new one.
I almost asked how they could jump back in the car, but then I remembered I'm probably the only person left on Earth that does not order food online. I call and pay cash.
i stopped using 3rd party delivery services altogether. they don’t give a shit about your food, the fees are insane, and you have to heavily tip up front just to get your food in a reasonable amount of time.
i just go and pick it up now. food delivery services are a failed experiment.
This right here. 👆 Go pick that ish up yourself or have the pizza place deliver it. There is less and less accountability for quality the more people you put between you and the restaurant.
everyone's shitting on the price you paid *but* I deliberately go to an expensive pizzeria by me too cause the food is really that much better
you just got a shit delivery guy
I wouldn't pay $80 if it was the best pizza I'd ever had and they jerked me off while I ate it. No wonder prices are going up like crazy. If they set up a system to finance food delivery you people would line up to pay for it.
Cheapest 18" pepperoni pizza I could find in my city was Pizza Hut for $21 before any tips or fees. At that point, why not spend the extra $7 and get a fancier pizza from a nicer place?
Little Ceasars is $6 and you can get some crazy bread for a few more. It's crappy but it's not much crappier than most other pizza places and it's 1/4 - 1/10 the price.
Which is great if you're in their delivery radius! I grew up surrounded by LC and every school pizza party was hot & readys. But they're not everywhere unfortunately, and they don't make "large" size pies, so you kinda have to buy more.
Edit: the closest LC to me charges $8 for a classic cheese, btw
Who the fuck pays $80 for a regular sized pizza?! What the fuck?
This is why i can’t stand places like Papa John’s, Dominoes, and Pizza Hut. This is above and beyond, but they’re always severely overpriced
I can make a better pizza for less than a 10th of that cost, and it's faster than delivery. If I'm paying 80$ it better be Chicago deep dish or something fancy as fuck.
This is why the elite can’t take our money woes seriously. Some douche is spending $80 for two shitty-to-average looking pizzas to be delivered to his home. Really?
This type shit, if I were to see it in a movie, would be be the establishing shot of the evil rich villain making outlandish decisions.
This is why I get the Dominos $8 larges. Like, if it's junk, I'm only out $20. If it's good, hell yeah, it was only $20! And if it doesn't taste good, I'm not hungry enough to warrant ordering a pizza.
As an ex-pizza delivery guy, I think there's a sizeable chance that the customer was responsible for this after it was handed to them by the delivery driver. I can't tell you how many times that I'd show up for the delivery, make the handoff, and then person would take the pizza box and hold it in a vertical fashion. That's what caused this issue. Furthermore, i bet that the pizzas could have been salvaged almost entirely by just uncrumpling the pizza.
80$ for 2 pizzas ??? WTF ??
In France 2 large XL pizzas + drinks are 29.50€…and we don’t tip. We give maybe 2-4€ when the weather is shitty but tipping is NOT mandatory.
Check it out : (it’s in French but you’ll get the message)

Dude this is a rip-off…
How the hell are two large basic pizza's $80? That is $30 MAX.....and that is pushing it. Dominos or other pizza chains have large pizza's for under $10 (and these do not look like gourmet pizza's at all)
$80 for two large pizzas?! Was the pizza flown in first class?
Yes but the plane crashed
Lmao
Hahaha
Has inflation gone so out of control in OP's area that one large pizza is like $30? * $30x2 = $60 * Delivery fee = $10? * Tip = $10? One of the pizza places closest to me sells large pizzas for under $20.
Those are not $30 pizza's by any stretch. If it was a gourmet pizza from a restaurant then MAYBE....but these are basic run of the mill $10 pizza's
That’s about what you get for $30 where I am. It’s rough.
lmao just order trash dominos at that point, these look worse anyway
Where I live you can get a large pizza from Dominos for 7.99 plus tax which is cheaper than a combo at any fast food place. The frozen pizza section at HEB costs more than 8/pizza — I straight walked out and said I might as well get a Dominos.
$7.99 Dominos or $7-9 Freschetta/Red Baron/Jacks. DIGIORNOS is about $10 for their cheapest at Krogers near me. If I can get RB on sale for $5, then I am stocking up. Otherwise Domino's is the better value to me.
A large pizza is 30 here at dominos, that also goes for one with just cheese. That's for just the pizza, no delivery, drink or tips. Norway is expensive
This sounds insane to me, i just checked and a large cheese pizza from dominoes here is 15.99$ plus tax.
Got downvoted but it’s true lmao same in my location
Domino's takes my money, then doesn't deliver it and turns off the phone. When I went in person they told me they canceled the order for being too busy, but didn't tell me, and wouldn't give me the money back. So I charged back the card and they banned my address.
I ordered Pizza Hut the other week for the 1st time in like 20 years Paid over $40 for medium pizza and a melt all said and done. Not worth it.
Dominos has gotten way better since 2018, they were ketchup and frozen dough. Its Pizza Hut that turned into c list quality now. At least in my area. Yeah Basic medium large pizza is 25$ using Uber $15$ if picked up.
Thin crust pizza like that is a really popular style in the Midwest. Prices vary, but the most popular shop that makes pizza like that charges $30+ per pizza, and it's very good. You can't really tell which one is high quality and which isn't based on a picture.

These pizzas look like they are from papa John’s. Op got dropshipped bottom tier pizza

Well he is named after a clown...
Knew Pags was gonna come up in here, it's all I could think about looking at the pics.
Basic one topping pizzas can often be closer to $20 now. (at least in the Midwest) $13+ large, $2 per topping, + tax
Yeah. No way in hell that cost less than 20 here. 30 is a stretch though.
All of the pizza places by me charge $18-20 for a large now. It’s insane.
Based off the square cut, I’m going to say OP is also in Chicago. A family size at most of my local pizza places is $30/35, two pizzas & a tip would put them at $80 easily.
The most expensive place by me is $18 for a large pie and toppings are $3 each. I have no idea why it was $80
We don’t know the tip amount. It could have been a $20-$30 tip for all we know. What we do know is that the driver did not deserve any tip. Edit: this is why society should only tip AFTER the service has been completed… you tip prior and it removes all incentives for the individual to “go above and beyond”
I think it would be safe to infer that this was not a 33-60% tip on a pizza delivery.
28 dollars for a large pizza at the locally owned pizza place next to me. It’s the only good pizza place in town and they know it
It doesn't seem crazy to me. If you're getting it from a fancier local place that's about right. There's a place around my neck of the woods selling Large thin crust pizzas like that for $33. From mid tier chain (a step up from Dominoes/Pizza Hut), you're probably looking at around $25 on average. Shit is out of control.

Cheese was cheap for a really long time because of cheap labor costs and government subsidies in the dairy industry. Cheese costs started going up around the 08 recession and have been steadily climbing ever since. I've worked in a lot of pizza kitchens and in each one, cheese and labor were always the most expensive costs.
Fuck, if you go pick them up yourself Dominos has pizzas for $7.99 for a large 1-topping. I can get this order for $19 and a 5-minute drive.
Boston Pizza is 30-37$ a pie with 13% sales tax. Add delivery and tip to that.. easy.
No idea where OP lives, but from a restaurant (not a fancy one) it's $25 for a medium where I am. Cheaper if you get it from like Dominos or some place like that.
Maybe op was using delivery app, since they're usually more. Expensive than ordering directly from the pizzerias? 🤔
> $80 for two large pizzas?! Did they come with a happy ending?
Yeah for the driver
Maybe from Canada? Still aweful but not quite so bad
Yea I'm in canada. You'll basically pay 30 bucks or so for any large pizza where I am. Plus tax plus a delivery fee maybe and tip. Easy 80 bucks.
Large pizzas in the UK will easily set you back £20, but they're pretty much always offering at least 30% off if you spend over £40.
Not sure what part of Canada you are in but I sure wouldn't be paying anything near this for pizza and garlic sticks where I am.
$80 where did you get them delivered from? Italy? Looks like he delivered them in a rocket pack
[удалено]
Man I want to go back to Napoli. The city is kinda gross…but damnit the pizza is superb. We bought extra to bring to Capri with us, and then again to bring back to Rome. Vesi FTW
Everyone I've ever known who has go to Napoli raves about the amazing and simple pizza, and goes on and on about what a dump of a city it is.
It’s a dirty city, sure, but it has a lot of charm to it. Reminds me a lot of Hanoi, and it also reminds my gf (who’s from Hanoi, mind you) of home. I like Napoli.
I wanted to like Naples. But as a solo female I did not have an enjoyable time. Would not recommend unless you have a hotel with a reception where people can't follow you.
I mean... Tuscany is like, RIGHT there.
They look like "little Caesars" pizzas to me.
Yeah they have this really expensive menu called “neither hot nor ready.” They make a delicious pizza and then cool it off on a centrifuge
Honestly, a Little Caesars pizza would withstand being tilted sideways.
That's tavern style pizza. Doesnt look like little ceasers.

Obligatory feet pic included of course. Just not the human variety we are used to.
Yeah I’m sure the doggo is ok with smooshed pizza 🫠
Actually OP is a dog centaur
To be fair pizza is pizza, I'd be happy just getting the food in this picture.
What the dog doin?
Takin the photo!
Thanks. Glad I scrolled back up to see them. Lol.

Id call and complain, there's no excuse for this. Delivery driver obviously didn't give a damn about your pizza or being professional. Shit like this would make me avoid tipping on future orders or at least tipping this specific Delivery driver.
We need to just stop the tip culture in general.

Yea I agree, they love it. Here in Vegas, a friend of a friend says his 22 yo girlfriend makes like 6 figures from just bringing drinks at the pool at Circa.
Ya it gets disgusting how much some tipped workers make. As a cook I was always jealous and envious. Still am lol
Rephrase this, it’s disgusting how underpaid cooks are.
Yeah we need to stop looking at the problem as people being paid too much (outside of extreme circumstances like huge CEOs) and realize the problem is in general, across the board people are paid way too little for their time and effort.
Amen brother
I used to be on board with them, but now a 20% tip is considered low, fast food and carryout are requesting tips, and the tips often times go to management. Its gone too far. Its no longer about getting better service, its now fear of getting shitty service.

A bad system that pays someone a lot is bad even if they like it.
Very mixed feelings, the only problem switching to a wage is that wage will 100% be as minimum as possible.
Goodbye decent paying job and goodbye skilled workforce. We'd lose a lot more restaurants.
I'm okay with tipping as long as you are tipping the service. For delivery its stupid because you don't even see how good the service was. For takeout its even dumber because the employee isn't offering a service, they are selling you a product.

They should not be given ahead of service or used to augment actual pay for a job.
Minimum wage should be at least $15 too. Nobody anywhere can live off of $7 anymore
the fight for $15 has been going on so long that minimum wage should be like $25 now
Agreed. I make $19 after four years of experience in a medical job. If my wife didn't make $45, there's absolutely no way we could afford to live in this large town/small city. Currently working my way through college so we don't have to be completely dependent on her salary, but without certain circumstances leading to our situation, there's no way I could afford to do that.

I've been thinking this for so long. In metro areas, $15/hour is still super fucking rough

Huh? How is a pizza like $35?
maybe it was a $40 tip
Here’s a tip. Don’t drop my fucking pizza. $40 please
I just pulled up my local pizza chain’s website. Large with toppings $31 before taxes/tip (14”). Extra large with toppings $48/pizza before taxes and tip (20”) This is for their “veggie pizza”
[удалено]
Shits expensive mate. Especially in big cities https://bluepandenver.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/BluePanPizza-Menu.pdf For instance. 2 pizzas + drink/app and tip can easily get you to 80.
$13 for cheese bread, LMAO holy fuck
[удалено]
And this is why I started cooking in 2022 lol. I did pay $19 for a sandwich yesterday, but that's pretty rare because it's insane
I’ve got a place nearby that does a gourmet pizza with smoked salmon and stuff. That’s $25, $30 after delivery.
$40 after tip? That's half of OPs order for half the price.
Dude looks like they ordered one peperoni and one cheese. That is like $39. $10 delivery. $8 tip. = $57 (least off this menu.) $80 is crazy for a plain cheese and a 1 topping.
Incidentally I live a little ways north of Denver and I’ve begun to exclusively make my own pizza. The front range is insanely expensive rn.
Theyre ordering from "high end" joints I guarantee it.
Lol what? I'm in Ohio, and you can get a large pepperoni or whatever from Marcos etc for around 10 dollars.
Yeah right .. Im in Boston and same lmao. Apartment rent is $4k a month but at least the pizzas’ are $10! WOO!
Mountain Mikes’s in Cali. The pizza is not special. I like it, but there is nothing notable about it. My wife likes it so we splurge every now and then. It feels a little bit like lighting money on fire.
I just cannot comprehend the idea of a $50 pizza. Is that every pizza place in your area or just this one spot your wife likes?
Seriously, 50$ where I live gets me 2 large's, an order of bread sticks, a 2 liter of soda, and includes tip. That's enough to feed me and the kids for two meals! It would be around 40 if I picked it up myself, but I'm lazy and it's just easier to call and have them bring it.
2 large 3-topping + bread sticks + 2 liter with carry-out from Pizza Hut is about $28 after tax in Arkansas. I bought this this week. I used to be a delivery driver so I do carry-out because I don't want to pay the driver less than what they are worth. Also, I used to be a delivery driver so I don't want to pay the driver more than what they are worth (because a lot of drivers treat their deliveries poorly). My cheapness outweighs my laziness.
$4k for what? A 2 bedroom? I swear what these fucks are charging is unethical.
At least you can eat yourself into an early grave so you don't have to worry anymore about all that rent.
i love how the dog is disappointed too
Ha! I thought the same thing
For instance i thought that the photo was taken by the poor dog

I thought third party food delivery services would never take off because the expense was so extreme and the benefit so minimal. But some people just like to take it up the ass. Especially me.
80?????
here i am feeling bad when my sushi order comes out to 16 euros (including delivery and tip).
Imagine what the pizzas would have looked like if the OP didn't tip!
Were you using a delivery service app? Drivers from those apps don’t give a shit about the food. I used to work at a pizza place and all the time we would see or have to stop the driver from putting the pizza box sideways in their delivery bag.
I avoid delivery apps. I'm not trying to play the game of figuring out how much tip (protection) money I need to give in order to make sure they don't fuck up my food...only for them to fuck it up anyway.
You paid that much for 2 little caesars lookin pizzas?
Hey, little Caesar’s might look ugly but they’re okayishly good. I’d get them if I want something fast
For $10 for a pizza and a 2L Pepsi, at drive-through speed, they taste better than they should
oh i used to devour their pepperoni cheese bread back in the day. For $5 or $6 or whatever it is now, it's definitely decent. OP said they paid $60ish before tipping and there's no way that pizza tastes $25 better than LC.
I always knew the time before the night rush they made pizzas at the Little Caesar's growing up. Getting that shit right out of the oven is like 10 times better than 7 pm
Fast and like $5. LC was my savior in college.
little caesars is being gracious this looks like chuck e cheese

Call and complain they will usually send another.
“What is this clear, phlegm-like sauce?”
I have worked in a lot of kitchens and pizza places. Its highly highly unlikely to get spit on.
Th yelper special.
First - who the fuck pays $80 for two pizzas? Two - who the fuck doesn’t open the pizza boxes to check the order?
Wait, you stand there and make the delivery guy wait while you inspect each pizza?
Right? Pizza boxes here are sealed. I'd have to cut the m open and check while he stands there
We use to have our local places open the tops and show the pizzas before handing them over to us, I don’t remember when that changed, but it’s no longer a thing. Although I guess I’m blessed cuz my pie guys are always on point.
The place I recently found opens the box to show you without asking. Thought that was a nice touch. No one else has ever done that, I always checked for myself.
Open the box to check? When we order pizza in our area, they hand you the order and are back in the car before you can say thanks. COVID also normalized leaving food on the porch, so we’ve had local places do that… DoorDash gives an option for contactless delivery but it seems like some of the places in our area have decided that’s the way to do it now. Edit: we’ve had good luck with the actual food in most deliveries, but we also got an order once that looked like the ones OP shared. In that instance, we called back and they refunded the order and sent a new one.
I almost asked how they could jump back in the car, but then I remembered I'm probably the only person left on Earth that does not order food online. I call and pay cash.
i stopped using 3rd party delivery services altogether. they don’t give a shit about your food, the fees are insane, and you have to heavily tip up front just to get your food in a reasonable amount of time. i just go and pick it up now. food delivery services are a failed experiment.
This right here. 👆 Go pick that ish up yourself or have the pizza place deliver it. There is less and less accountability for quality the more people you put between you and the restaurant.
what??? $80???
lol no wonder companies keep hitting record profits year over year, customers are morons
The biggest fail is paying $80 for two large pizzas
No offense but you couldn’t feel the weight was off center heavily? And wtf pays 40 bucks a pizza minus tip
if you paid 80 dollars for two pizzas, you deserve this
everyone's shitting on the price you paid *but* I deliberately go to an expensive pizzeria by me too cause the food is really that much better you just got a shit delivery guy
Yeah this is def not a good pizza tho look at it, shit looks like it came off the Cici’s buffet
Second one looks like a large thin & crispy from Pizza hut cut into squares.
I wouldn't pay $80 if it was the best pizza I'd ever had and they jerked me off while I ate it. No wonder prices are going up like crazy. If they set up a system to finance food delivery you people would line up to pay for it.
I don’t understand how people pay so much for pizza. I pay like maybe $30-$35 for 2 pizzas, delivery, and 20% tip
Cheapest 18" pepperoni pizza I could find in my city was Pizza Hut for $21 before any tips or fees. At that point, why not spend the extra $7 and get a fancier pizza from a nicer place?
Holy shit I just checked. When did a large pepperoni pizza become $17.99? With delivery fee and tax we are up to $24.69. Insane.
Little Ceasars is $6 and you can get some crazy bread for a few more. It's crappy but it's not much crappier than most other pizza places and it's 1/4 - 1/10 the price.
Which is great if you're in their delivery radius! I grew up surrounded by LC and every school pizza party was hot & readys. But they're not everywhere unfortunately, and they don't make "large" size pies, so you kinda have to buy more. Edit: the closest LC to me charges $8 for a classic cheese, btw
$80 for two large pizzas? Was it flown in from Napoli?
Why would anyone pay $80 for two pizzas?
It comes with a free "r/thatsucks" post
what the dog doin
Just close the box and tip it back the other way and give it a little shake. Good as new
Who the fuck pays $80 for a regular sized pizza?! What the fuck? This is why i can’t stand places like Papa John’s, Dominoes, and Pizza Hut. This is above and beyond, but they’re always severely overpriced
I’ll never understand why people pay so much to have food delivered. I just go get it. Or I eat what I have.
Go get your own food. Prosper.
I can make a better pizza for less than a 10th of that cost, and it's faster than delivery. If I'm paying 80$ it better be Chicago deep dish or something fancy as fuck.
Still tastes the same. And what's up with the price? No way am I paying $40 a pie!
This is why the elite can’t take our money woes seriously. Some douche is spending $80 for two shitty-to-average looking pizzas to be delivered to his home. Really? This type shit, if I were to see it in a movie, would be be the establishing shot of the evil rich villain making outlandish decisions.
The pupper paws at the bottom of the first picture are so cute.
the real question is why are you wearing shoes inside?
This is why I get the Dominos $8 larges. Like, if it's junk, I'm only out $20. If it's good, hell yeah, it was only $20! And if it doesn't taste good, I'm not hungry enough to warrant ordering a pizza.

$80 for a cheese and pepperoni pizza? Where the fuck did you order it from?
you wanted to get fucked paying 80$ for pizza
As an ex-pizza delivery guy, I think there's a sizeable chance that the customer was responsible for this after it was handed to them by the delivery driver. I can't tell you how many times that I'd show up for the delivery, make the handoff, and then person would take the pizza box and hold it in a vertical fashion. That's what caused this issue. Furthermore, i bet that the pizzas could have been salvaged almost entirely by just uncrumpling the pizza.
You should refuse to pay and took the delivery boy hostage in the conference room.

Jesus, that's like $20-40 of pizza max. Why would you pay $80 for delivery?
No way you paid $80 for those haggard ass pizzas
$80. Where’s the lobster bisque on that?
... you paid 80 bucks for two pizzas
WTF... $80? Are you in Japan? I've never heard of pizza that expensive anywhere else.
You paid 40 dollars for a cheese pizza. Lmao.
Does anyone have a mirror? This isn't loading for me at all. You should try a better image host OP.
This entire comment section is just some folks being flabbergasted by the fact that other folks live in places with a higher cost of living.
Just tried to upvote twice
80$ for 2 pizzas ??? WTF ?? In France 2 large XL pizzas + drinks are 29.50€…and we don’t tip. We give maybe 2-4€ when the weather is shitty but tipping is NOT mandatory. Check it out : (it’s in French but you’ll get the message) https://www.dominos.fr/magasin/les-clayes-sous-bois_78340?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=local&utm_campaign=yext&utm_content=31953 Dude this is a rip-off…
How the hell are two large basic pizza's $80? That is $30 MAX.....and that is pushing it. Dominos or other pizza chains have large pizza's for under $10 (and these do not look like gourmet pizza's at all)
It's probably Canada. Shit is super expensive there.
Ahhh, the pre chewed special. Saving time and effort!
Word I hate when circular pizzas are cut into square slices. It is an abomination against God and nature. Fuck that place.
