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

Scabbersley · 23/10/2017 20:29

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??

Got to the asda and grab some of the make your own pizzas. They're £2.60 each for 4 toppings. You can also choose crust thickness and BBQ vs tomato sauce Smile

Id get four, then buy garlic bread and coleslaw from supermarket.

Two for Tuesdays? HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS

It's not because I have too much money! It's because I am 52 live in the middle of nowhere and haven't ordered Domino's since 1995 and I can't remember how much they cost as I was probably stoned

Oh I could not agree with you more! It's essentially bread and fucking cheese with a few scraps of whatever else scattered on the top! Why the fuck is pizza so expensive?!

PyongyangKipperbang · 23/10/2017 21:13

I would agree with buying 4 large and bung a whole load of wedges and garlic bread in the oven.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 23/10/2017 21:14

£20 for a pizza. Away and fuck. Are they actually taking the piss. I'd want a share In the company for that.
You can get them Iceland for a pound.
Day light robbery.

Is there a Papa John's nearish? They are a very similar style but much cheaper, especially with online deals. Mmm, pizza.

It's in the "Deals" section of the website Smile (and in those leaflets I get from them every week).

Cat2014 · 23/10/2017 21:16

Dominos with BBQ stuffed crust is amazing .. worth the money!! I eat a medium to myself

Misspollyhadadollie · 23/10/2017 21:17

Relieved it isn't just me who could eat a whole pizza! 4 people eating a large pizza? Lol

NapQueen · 23/10/2017 21:17

For 12 Id say four large pizzas, a couple of boxes of chicken strips.

Ring up and ask "what offers do you have on and how much would I need to order to qualify for 50% off?" There is ALWAYS a deal. No one ever pays full price.

VeraVinegarTits · 23/10/2017 21:18

Agree that you need a code and also so much also cheaper to collect provided they actually get your order right. Domino's thin crust is amazing.

MrsEight · 23/10/2017 21:18

Papa Johns is just as expensive I reckon.

God knows why pizza is so expensive.

We have a local kebab shop that does really nice ones for about £7 each and buy one get one free twice a week.

NameChangeFamousFolk · 23/10/2017 21:19

Domino's pizza is hideous here too. I gave up trying to buy a decent pizza and bought a pizza stone and a bag of flour instead Grin.

The profit margins on pizza must be bloody enormous.

MarmaladeIsMyJam · 23/10/2017 21:23

Honestly, how much did you think it was going to cost Confused I don't think £5 a head for a birthday party is extortionate?

Lokisglowstickofdestiny · 23/10/2017 21:24

They are horrible, DH and DD get them sometimes but always with a deal and they collect.

bluestarthread · 23/10/2017 21:25

We've had Dominos pizzas for birthday parties - go into a store and speak to the Manager - they do a bigger discount than the vouchers - I think we got them half price last time and some free sides suitable from someone with a dairy intolerance.

Cockmagic · 23/10/2017 21:25

What about a takeaway pizza?

Mine does a 16 inch for £9 plus meal deals etc?

Does it have to be dominoes?

snowgirl1 · 23/10/2017 21:25

As Monger said, look on the 'deals' or 'offers' section of their website - there are usually a few different offers and you can choose whichever suits you best.

ohreallyohreallyoh · 23/10/2017 21:26

Run it through quidco when ordering - generally very low cash back but Imdidmonce get 20% which in addition to vouchers makes a huge difference.

userofthiswebsite · 23/10/2017 21:26

Dominos isn't all that. I've been much more impressed by Papa Johns. Pizza Hut has improved over the past couple of years. It went really downhill beforehand.

MongerTruffle · 23/10/2017 21:27

I'd want a share In the company for that.
Buy twenty shares in the Co-op for that and get your pizza from there.

TattyCat · 23/10/2017 21:27

STOP! If you're rural as well as having hot sweats at the price of Dominos (yep, me too), BUT you have a Tesco near you then go and get 6 x PIZZA EXPRESS pizzas. They about £4/5 quid each for large ones and if you get some frozen garlic bread and throw that in, it's perfect for teenagers. You'll get 6 pizzas for £30 and they're nicer than Dominos, if you follow the instructions and drizzle some olive oil on before cooking. I can only eat half of one in one sitting but on a hungry day could manage a bit of garlic bread as well...

JKR123 · 23/10/2017 21:33

My local Asda and Sainsbury's have pizza stands where you can get a (very) large pizza for about ) £4. And they are way nicer than Dominos

WhatAPunch · 23/10/2017 21:35

I would never buy Domino's type pizza if eating out but it's great takeaway. Don't know why the difference. DC love it.
There's a place for thick cheesy pizza. I love the BBQ sauce.

I'd say 4 large is fine. Let them fill up on loads of crisps while waiting for pizza.

Sounds like great birthday food with the doughnuts after. Hope they enjoy.
