My best mate orders a pizza before she goes out so that she'll have it all ready to go the next morning when the dreaded hangover munchies kick in.

It has just struck me what brilliant idea this is.

Is this common? Does anyone else do this?

I do this!

I also order a bigger pizza than I need for this reason.

Same with Chinese

Er - if you're going to eat it cold the next day, then why not cook a frozen one? Can fully see the point of having something ready for the hangover munchies, just struggling to see the point of having one delivered and paying for the privilege when a frozen one is only a couple of quid and it's not exactly difficult to stick it in the oven??

Because take away pizza cold tastes so much better

Frozen pizza doesn't have the same munch factor as take-away. What a brilliant idea. Smile

It's pretty common but not just with pizza.

I'd rather eat crips while I wait for the pizza to turn up fresh.

But the only pizza places that deliver round here before 5pm are pizza huts, Woo. Who can wait that long once the munchies strike?

Plus their pizzas are shite Grin

And she'll be at work. I think there's already raised eyebrows about the cold takeaway for brekkie. If she took delivery of a fresh one at work it might sem a tad unprofessional.

I wish I'd thought of that.

I must tell OH that if he ever wants to send me flowers at work (fat chance, but still) to send a me a piping hot pizza instead. Professionalism be damned.

I used to get a doner kebab on a night to take to work for my packed lunch the next day Grin
Still in the original wrappings and I would unpack it and have at it Grin

I've got a better one.

My DBro used to order an Indian from a town centre restaurant to be delivered to his house after a night out. Then 5 mins after calling to order it, he'd turn up at the restaurant and say "sorry I thought I'd be home by now, could you deliver me at the same time as my food please?"

Food delivered and no taxi to pay for. Grin


He did it every week and got to know the owner who thought it was genius.

Grin - I had the place to myself every day - I was only 17 and everyone else in the office used to go to the pub for a very liquid lunch, leaving me to "mind the shop" so I could tuck in in peace. The head planner (was a planning/drawing office) also smoked at least half a dozen cigars a day in the office so the smell of kebab was like a breath of fresh air Grin
