How many pizzas would you have ordered?

Following a tense situation this evening I though I'd consult the hive mind.

Friday night dinner for 6 adults - how much would you expect you'd need to order?

(Dominoes/Pizza Hut style pizza)

4 and a couple of sides or family bags of crisps. Curious to know what the row was.

3 medium or 2 large plus dough balls and then get some salad from the fridge

Lovely lovely man, I think too prideful to say it was more expensive than he'd anticipated/didn't understand to utilise the deals.

If it was from Domino, the price would have been eye watering if ordering 6. The deals are crap and never suit us. We tend to avoid it because of the cost for mediocre pizza.

We avoid it now since discovering Chicago Town tomato stuffed crust pepperoni. My absolute favourite ever! Literally no takeaway pizza compares now. And it's always around £3/4.

4 large and sides

Nogoodusername · 04/03/2022 23:15

Whaaaaaaat! I wouldn’t even order as small as one medium and one personal for me and 13 yr DD - and she’s a size 6 and I’m a 10 so we’re hardly greedy!!

6 large pizzas and 3 or 4 sides. Would expect some left overs but it's better to have left overs than not enough food.
AlwaysLatte · 04/03/2022 23:18

We don't have pizza often but for adults we usually go for half a large pizza each, and there's usually a few slices left over.

Rosieposie101 · 04/03/2022 23:20

6

PleaseReferToMeAsBritneySpears · 04/03/2022 23:21

I really fancy pizza now

AlwaysLatte · 04/03/2022 23:22

(We usually make a salad bowl to go with it)

Rosieposie101 · 04/03/2022 23:24

6 as it's better to over order than under order. I live abroad in a country where people don't order their own meals but share many dishes together as a table, and the rule is one dish ordered per person at the table, minimum, for this reason.

MondeoFan · 04/03/2022 23:34

3 pizzas between 6 people plus a couple sides. Garlic bread and salad.

PyongyangKipperbang · 04/03/2022 23:34

I need to know.....

does anyone actually order, BY CHOICE, Sweaty Wedges?

We got some free a couple of times and they are vile! Wedges should be crispy, but they are sweaty and horrible! They are not a side, there a penance!

SpilltheTea · 04/03/2022 23:35

I'd have ordered 3 large pizzas.
Personal pizzas are criminal because they're essentially just crust.

PyongyangKipperbang · 04/03/2022 23:35

They're......sorry!

wanttomarryamillionaire · 04/03/2022 23:35

3 large plus sides

PyongyangKipperbang · 04/03/2022 23:36

I think you mean garlic bread and MASSIVE salad.
whynotwhatknot · 04/03/2022 23:36

wtf course thats not enough-i usually have one to myself so i have leftovers but id accept half of one no less

he sounds stingy

Dagnabit · 04/03/2022 23:39

@Nogoodusername - I know it isn’t the point of the thread but being above a size 10 doesn’t mean you’re greedy necessarily.

ZenNudist · 04/03/2022 23:47

4 large pizzas and 4 or so sides.

AppaTheSixLeggedFlyingBison · 04/03/2022 23:48

3 large or 2 large plus sides

Liveandkicking · 04/03/2022 23:49

4 with sides

Blueberry40 · 05/03/2022 00:30

6 pizzas plus whatever sides everyone wanted

But what size from those places?

I've treated myself tonight to first dominos in YEARS

I had a medium meal deal - medium pizza, wedges, cola and cookies (which I haven't eaten yet they may be left till tomorrow)

6 adults assuming 3 men too? I'd have gone for 4-5 large plus sides and ice cream Grin

Plus cold pizza is yummy next day anyway so if it doesn't get eaten it won't be wasted

There's always one!

Half a pizza is a colossal amount of calories.

We don't need that kinda negativity on a Friday night Grin

Mmm. Delicious calories.

GrinGrinGrin

4 large stuffed crust obviously and 4 sides

Nooooo double decadence!

The original order was 1x medium & 1x personal sized pizza plus a little 4 slice garlic bread.

For 6 adults?! Wtf!

Fil unused to ordering from such places...ah...you always

google discount codes

use the deals

and in my case I NEVER order cookies straight off cos they always offer them at a reduced price "on your way" to the checkout point

although with that being said he does regularly order a dominos just for him so he's not that oblivious

Hmm so wants to appear magnanimous without actually putting his hand (fully) in his pocket?

What is it with in laws not feeding people?! Had that in my family at one point too - penis portion crap included! My mum swapped her plate with my dads (he had the smaller appetite she had a more physical job at this point) the LOOKS she got!

Few years back there was another bf mner posted about a similar situation except she knew what the in laws were like and was preparing so she posted asking what food snacks she could pack/bring with her and keep in the bedroom (ie didn't need to be refrigerated/frozen) in some ways the thread got quite inventive in others just bonkers!Grin

IIRC deleted as potentially outing when the mil went in to tidy the bedroom and discovered the stash!

Graphista · 05/03/2022 01:09

Don't they know that you need 500 extra calories a day as a BF mum? I calculated mine in single finger Twixes

I'm pretty sure I counted mine in Mars bars, about unm 5 a day? Seems right.

GrinGrinGrinGrinGrin

Terfydactyl my kinda person!

I counted mine in tubes of Pringles - a large tube is 500 cals right? Wink
