I'm staying in a very rural village where takeaways are limited, but it's my first night here and I thought I'd splash out. I ordered a pizza meal deal with some onion rings and mozzarella sticks... but pic of the pizza attached. I'm here alone, wtf was I thinking?!

Worse, when it arrived it didn't actually fit through the front door. I had to stand in the porch and tip it very carefully onto its side to get it in. Then as the delivery guy walked away I heard the porch door slam shut and lock behind me from a rogue gust of wind.

For a split second I contemplated whether it would be possible to just live in the porch for a week and stretch my gigantic pizza over 7 days so I wouldn't starve. Luckily then I remembered the back door was open, but rather than do the walk of shame I had to wait, hidden in the enclosed porch, with this oversized pizza, for the delivery guy to drive up the road and turn around the cul de sac and leave, then abandon my monster pizza until I legged it round the back and retrieved it.

It better be fucking good.

JenniferAllisonPhillipaSue · 22/06/2022 17:29

The important question is - what is on the pizza?

TinyBagEnergy · 22/06/2022 17:29

Ha! Hope you've got a bottle of wine (or three) to go with that! 😂

AssignedSlytherinAtBirth · 22/06/2022 17:30

Grin brilliant. We've all done daft things, don't worry. In fact I ordered a "regular" once at a pizza place in London, which turned out to be the large size, so then I had to eat most of the bloody thing.

Timeforabiscuit · 22/06/2022 17:30

Oh my god, what's in the box ??!,😂

PupInAPram · 22/06/2022 17:30

Oh my! That looks good. Your judgement is sound. You can eat leftovers for breakfast tomorrow, and lunch, and tea😂

ShutOffTheLights · 22/06/2022 17:33

I'm on my way OP, I'll help you get rid of it.

Blue4YOU · 22/06/2022 17:33

I think I’d actually be able to eat that 😧

TheDoveFromAboveCooCoo · 22/06/2022 17:35

Breakfast and lunch for the next 2 days! Winner!

BruceAndNosh · 22/06/2022 17:36

This is why how Italians invented Calzone.
So that they could get an oversized pizza thru a doorway

gogogadgetgo · 22/06/2022 17:39

Gonna need a before and after photo...

Good luck!

devildeepbluesea · 22/06/2022 17:40

😂😂😂

Don't worry OP, that’s your food shop for the week!

KatySp · 22/06/2022 17:42

It's not like my Amazon deliveries, where the box is massive but inside the goods are tiny, is it?

InChocolateWeTrust · 22/06/2022 17:43

Sorry OP, I'm confused are you complaining about your massive pizza?

Sod off, some of us are 5 and 2-ing here, you're killing me

SiobhanSharpe · 22/06/2022 17:45

I could do serious damage to that (and leftover pizza for breakfast is a fine thing anyway.

SillyLittleBiscuit · 22/06/2022 17:46

🤣Show us the actual pizza please.

This is going to show me up but, I ordered a pizza from the starters menu in diner in vegas once, assuming it’d be a slice. It was a 10 or 12” and I had the worlds largest Macaroni cheese to follow.

RainydaysandFridays · 22/06/2022 17:48

Did you get prawn crackers with that?

Braggiography · 22/06/2022 17:51

Wow, you have such tiny hands, OP.

Braggiography · 22/06/2022 17:52

You could probably fairly easily live in the pizza box should the back door turn out to be locked.

RooniIWazlib · 22/06/2022 17:54

How's progress going, op?

TibetanTerrah · 22/06/2022 17:56

How am I doing?

Also had half the onion rings and mozzarella sticks, and forgot there were 4 chicken wings too so had two of those.

@JenniferAllisonPhillipaSue it was called 'Hot Shot' and is pepperoni, onions, peppers and chillies.

I may also have opted for the hot dog stuffed crust but don't judge me, I'm clearly not of sane mind today.

The base is actually super super thin, so although I agree I'm being a greedy fat fuck, it's also dangerously easy to eat as the proportion of dough to toppings is different.

I may have made a slight error of judgement...

This sounds like a subplot from a Friends episode. Probably starring Ross.

MadeForThis · 22/06/2022 17:57

We used to get something like that in Edinburgh. They also did a metre pizza. Great for parties.

Floydthebarber · 22/06/2022 17:58

Op, you are my kind of woman.
