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.

Looks like a good night in (and breakfast!)

How do we know you haven't just got an incredibly teeny hand?? Like a Barbie or something.

I can’t remember the last time I was this envious of someone!!!

PearlclutchersInc · 22/06/2022 18:00

Could just go a pizza, and wings, and mozzarella, and the wine.... but its only Wednesday 😥

He may have assumed there was a family of 5 impatiently thumping their cutlery on the dining table so no problems if you bump into him...

MissConductUS · 22/06/2022 18:03

In New York, that pizza would be a "medium". 😀

ImNotYourHunHun · 22/06/2022 18:03

I'm begging hubby to ditch the hello fresh for tonight and get pizza 😂

hot dog stuffed crust

Holy wow, I had no idea this existed. I admire your ambition, OP. Bon courage.

Braggiography · 22/06/2022 18:06

If it's not finished by autumn you could probably use the stuffed crust as some kind of cavity insulation to cut heating bills.

JuneJubilee · 22/06/2022 18:06

You've made a start, it does look good! I'm a pan Puzza Vegetarian girl, so can't help you out. I'm sure you'll struggle through!

Oioicaptain · 22/06/2022 18:06

Not pizza related, but I've just massively overestimated the size of a round paddling pool that I've ordered. It's more like a swimming pool. It's the equivalent of your pizza! Unfortunately I'm stuck with it now.

Allnostalgic · 22/06/2022 18:06

Oh wow it looks really good.

It will be even better reheated tomorrow.

frangipani13 · 22/06/2022 18:06

Life is short. Eat the pizza (and mozzarella sticks, and onion rings) and enjoy yourself . I’m jealous af

CPL593H · 22/06/2022 18:07

Not much has made me laugh today, so thank you for the Mega Pizza of Doom! I want pizza now. So, so much.

Simonjt · 22/06/2022 18:08

We sometimes order these, we get one each and polish it off because we’re greedy fucks.

congrats on your beautiful pizza.

Is it ebay? The doll's house rule states that anything you purchase on ebay will inevitably be either x10 as large as expected or so small only mice could use it.

NiqueNique · 22/06/2022 18:19

Ohhhhh yes that’s right up my street - I’m partial to a thin crust - and it’s perfect pizza weather too!! Not too keen on the sausage stuffing idea but I’m game for trying...

You’re doing well; a valiant effort for sure.

Whatever you do, don’t you dare throw away the leftovers - it’ll make a perfect breakfast tomorrow (make sure to add extra salt!).

Really want pizza now. 😭😭

NiqueNique · 22/06/2022 18:20

Definitely cold for breakfast btw. Then reheated for lunch/dinner (if there’s any left).

HangOnToYourself · 22/06/2022 18:24

That pizza looks banging. If you have an airfryer use that for leftovers, tastes almost box fresh

87SPD · 22/06/2022 18:24

😂 😂 brilliant!

Seriously though, I LOVE cold takeaway pizza! Perfectly acceptable to continue the feast for breakfast!

RJnomore1 · 22/06/2022 18:24

I can say nothing, my Saturday night takeaway also fed me for lunch on Sunday. And Monday. And Tuesday….

probably still be going actually but even I have limits re food poisoning!

bloodyunicorns · 22/06/2022 18:26

Dinner of champions!!

Leftover pizza - breakfast of champions!

katyjaneginger · 22/06/2022 18:28

I'm very jealous of that pizza! It looks like it tastes great, I now want pizza...

anybloodyname · 22/06/2022 18:29

Are you ok OP ? I now have visions of you on the settee - sweating , farting and dying for a drink but can't move ? 😂

Exactly what happened to me - well the door closing - when I stepped out of the hotel room in a towel to put my tray down. ARRGH!

More importantly, I'll be round to help you trough that very shortly 😂
