To wonder what the hell? A Domino's pizza is £20??

Dd is having a party and has asked for Domino's. I haven't had a Domino's pizza for about 25 years. Just went on the website and one large pizza is £20!

So 7 pizzas would cost £140.

What the actual hell??

Nobody in their right mind buys Domino's without a code.

If buying from there is your only option I agree that letting the kids make their own might be the better option. Ready made dough is available from supermarkets.

Even buy one get one free it will be 70 on pizza! Fuck that!

But surely you can't expect a large takeaway pizza to cost less than £10?? Why don't you buy pizzas from the supermarket instead? They're nowhere near as greasy as dominos.

Even with the discount codes they're daft expensive for what they are really.

Okay sometimes they hit the spot but often I end up finishing the bloody things off in the oven as they've only half cooked them, presumably to get them out the door quicker.

They are 16 they do not want to make their own! I could buy some from Sainsbury's but will be a bit of a production line cooking them

So buy 6 large ‘half and half’ pizzas, use discount codes and deals, I reckon you’ll pay £50-£60 if you get it right.

Also we’re rural and dominoes deliver just pop your post code in on their website and check

When's the party? I visited our local one before DD's party, negotiated a decent discount and pre-ordered.

Scabbersley · 23/10/2017 20:41

They do not deliver to us believe me.

I am absolutely not spending 60 or 70 on pizza.

They are massive, you don’t need that many!

Scabbersley · 23/10/2017 20:42

It's tomorrow. I might ring them and see what they'll do.

If you got five large that should be enough for twelve and with offers should be fifty quid.... Which comes to 4.66 a head which isn't bad for takeaway....

NikiBabe · 23/10/2017 20:42

Tell dd to choose something else

Scabbersley · 23/10/2017 20:43

So how many will a large 13.5" pizza feed

It's not even proper pizza Confused

BishopstonFaffing · 23/10/2017 20:43

I just bought 12 cheese and tomato pizzas from the chilled bit at aldi for ds's party. Cost £19. Tell DD she can have Dominoes or Sainsburys plus £30 cash

DailyMailDontStealMyThread · 23/10/2017 20:44

Large pizza is 10 slices so you would only need 4 max?

Scabbersley · 23/10/2017 20:44

Don't think it's possible to buy 5. Maybe I'll do 6 at 60

Costco pizza is way superior and cheaper

RJnomore1 · 23/10/2017 20:44

4 pizzas should feed 12.

If you've got crisps and things too it will definitely do.

DailyMailReadersAreThick · 23/10/2017 20:44

I don't think you need 7 large pizzas for 13 people. A large should do 3/4 people. Maybe get 4 pizzas and buy some cheap garlic bread and potato wedges? Those are filling and all you need to do is chuck them in the oven.

CherryChasingDotMuncher · 23/10/2017 20:44

Here you go. Get 6 half-and-half pizzas, a tenner each. I know you don’t want to pay £60 but how much did you think it was gonna cost?

TBF they’re bloody tasty!

Dominoes pizzas are NASTY where we live. Soggy, uneven, tasteless dough. Bleughh.

CantChoose · 23/10/2017 20:45

My husband and I get two large which feeds us for four meals. And we eat loads Blush.
You’ll only need 3-4.

Glumglowworm · 23/10/2017 20:45

But a couple of buy 1 get 1 free and pad out with frozen potato wedges, chicken dippers and a nice pudding

CherryChasingDotMuncher · 23/10/2017 20:45

Please don’t buy supermarket ones if she’s asked for a treat, that’s not a treat.

ItsNachoCheese · 23/10/2017 20:46

scabbersley google latest deals dominos to get voucher codes which should help with the cost
