I was surprised to read that 90% of adults eat pizza at least once a week. AIBU

We have pizza about once every 2 months. I'm not crazy about it and neither are the kids so dh gets it a bit less than he would like!!

I reckon I have pizza once a week - cheap meal out in Franca Manca with friends. Quick and easy dinner - bung in oven for 12 mins. Plus I really really love pizza.

Hmm I'm in the 10% that isn't very keen to eat pizza too but DP loves pizza and would be very happy to have it at least 4 x a week , I try to include it about once or twice a month and make too much so he has leftovers for lunch next day 🍕🍕🍕

We have it say once a fortnight on what I call Freezer night (other freezer nights involve chicken kievs, waffles and veg). Iceland is my pizza of choice.
YABU if you're judging people for eating pizza (especially homemad) there's a lot worse out there and people will often add a salad too (and garlic bread ☺️). In fact I have pizza on the menu this week for Sat night.

witsender · 13/03/2017 12:31

We have homemade once a week on a Saturday. If i really can't be bothered we have freezer tapas instead

PlumsGalore · 13/03/2017 12:33

I don't believe this. Family of four here, none of us eat pizza once a week. All of us probably eat it three times a year.

Who makes this stuff up?

MsRinky · 13/03/2017 12:33

I adore pizza to the extent that I have a wood burning oven in the garden that can cook one to Neapolitan standards in 90 seconds. Even I limit myself to once a fortnight though, as carbs are not my friend.

brasty · 13/03/2017 12:36

I eat pizza, just not every week. Frozen breaded frozen fish is our go to easy meal.

We have once a wk since stopping take aways. Easy sat night dinner and imo when hm more nutritional than something g out of the freezer

shovetheholly · 13/03/2017 12:40

I eat it every week! It's my favourite meal. Smile

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 13/03/2017 13:05

Redbug - yes, I add oregano to the dough, and basil too! Gives it a lovely flavour. I also use garlic salt in place of table salt.

carrie74 · 13/03/2017 13:10

Yup, Thursdays tend to be Pizza Thursdays here (it's my Friday and I usually can't be bothered to do more than pop a couple in the oven). It wouldn't be that frequent if we didn't have kids though. Also eldest made one from scratch last week in food tech, so hoping it becomes more regular - so much cheaper than buying and much tastier.

WavingNotDrowning · 13/03/2017 13:11

really? Blimey. I hardly ever eat pizza. It's not that I don't like it, but if I'm going to have a calorific meal, I stick to thai or indian (or gin).

BabyHamster · 13/03/2017 13:14

Yep, I reckon we have it most weeks. And it's not even homemade Grin

emsler · 13/03/2017 13:32

I'm a calorie counter and pizza just isn't worth the massive amounts of calories (for me that is - if you love pizza then it totally would be!). But when I do have it we make it ourselves using a garlic naan bread as a base and it's delish and super-quick.

RiversrunWoodville · 13/03/2017 13:41

Thank you redbug I've wanted to make my own dough for awhile Grin

Occadodo · 13/03/2017 14:15

Hand up here!

Friday night is Pizza & movie night!!!

DC 5,7,9 and DH love it! The kids get to stay up late and we have pizza from the choose your own counter at Asda!

Pizza is one of the very few meals everyone in my family likes!!!

Also we don't eat together during the week as it's too late for the kids!

Dancergirl · 13/03/2017 14:24

Thanks redbug and yankin Is the yeast just dried packet stuff? I've never had much success using it with other breads, maybe it's just me.

And for the tomato, can I just use passata mixed with a bit of garlic?

clerquin · 13/03/2017 14:31

I can't get worked up over this. What about having sandwiches everyday for lunch?

kel1493 · 13/03/2017 14:33

I'd eat pizza once a week. I love it. In dead boring though as I only like margarita pizza.

BadTasteFlump · 13/03/2017 14:37

Nothing wrong with pizza. Bread, tomatoes, cheese, meat and a veg. Sounds like a meal to me! YABU.

PollyPerky · 13/03/2017 14:40

Nope. Pizza free zone at the Perky residence. I'm gluten free , don't like tomatoes or garlic, so that's it really. Gluten free ones don't do it for me either. Pizza are just fat and carbs on a plate.

RedBugMug · 13/03/2017 14:42

dancergirl I just use concentrated tomato puree
but any tomato sauce would do unless it's too wet.

BertrandRussell · 13/03/2017 14:50

Do people know you can freeze home made pizza dough? Changed my life, that knowledge did.

Natsku · 13/03/2017 14:55

I don't have it once a week but probably once a fortnight. Having it tonight :)
