How much domino's pizza can you eat?

We are just about to do an order and it's dawned on me it's costing nearly £50.00 😨

Me and my Husband can pretty much eat a large pizza each. We have three children so we are ordering three large and one medium, totalling a whopping £48.98. Surely this is ridiculous for four pizzas. ?! This includes the 50% off too 🙈

Yup, if hungry enough I could eat a large to myself.

And yup, the cost is astronomical.

Leo227 · 15/08/2023 15:50

technically could eat a large one each, but actually feel full and fine after half of one. plus even that's like a days worth of calories, so we do try and share.

OhHeyBabe · 15/08/2023 15:50

I could eat probably half of a karge but would also have some chicken sides and a couple of the twisted doughballs. It is crazy money though!

I couldn't eat a large

MeadowCS · 15/08/2023 15:51

It depends on how hungry I am of course, but I normally get a large and eat half for dinner one night then the rest cold for lunch over the next couple of days.

I have eaten a large all at once though before but my appetite has got a bit smaller the last couple of years. If I was really hungry I reckon I could though.

Kitcaterpillar · 15/08/2023 15:52

A whole pizza? Goodness, if I ate one slice on a Monday, I wouldn't need to eat again until Thursday. Are you terribly greedy OP?

(JK, JK, I could smash away a whole pizza, but let's brace for inevitable).

I couldn't eat a whole large pizza in one go.

We'd order a large pizza each and it would probably do 2-3 meals.

randomchap · 15/08/2023 15:52

Whole large pizza, sides, and cookies. Easily

Domino's is ridiculously expensive for what it is. I'd go to the coop and buy their pizzas and add toppings for a fraction of that.

Sparklfairy · 15/08/2023 15:53

I love pizza but someone once told me it's glorified cheese on toast and now I can't justify Dominos prices... or worse, Papa Johns prices...

SquigglePigs · 15/08/2023 15:54

DH and I usually get a large and some chicken between us. I only have 2-3 slices because any more and the cheese disagrees with me, then he has the rest.

TheGoodBanana · 15/08/2023 15:55

I could comfortably do 3 large slices and some chicken strips. It is expensive but it just tastes so good!

Grimchmas · 15/08/2023 15:55

Dominoes just is horribly expensive.

It's so good though!

Small for me these days, but that's caloric content, not appetite!

VeridicalVagabond · 15/08/2023 15:55

Jesus a large each? I'm by no means a competitive under eater or anything like that, I'm not going to say a nibble of a crust would sustain me for a month, but I can't even finish a medium from Dominos, they're so hench and dense. I'm impressed by your pizza eating abilities.

Husband and I would normally get a medium each, he can finish it, I'll usually have two or three slices leftover. 15yo DD can finish a medium to herself too and usually wants wedges as well. They're so bloody expensive though.

Thursa · 15/08/2023 15:55

About a slice, they’re disgustingly greasy and give me a bad stomach.

Spendonsend · 15/08/2023 15:56

Well I could eat a large I think, but I actually get a dominos hangover and have found that just slightly less than half is more than enough to get the taste and feel full, without getting the hangover.

Between 4 we get a deal that includes 2 pizzas and some wings and its normally around 25 for us, which doesnt seem bad.

Just 2-3 meals? Goodness me, you must have huge appetites!

panko · 15/08/2023 15:58

Eat less?

Ilikewinter · 15/08/2023 15:59

Id struggle to eat a large. We normally get the 2 mediums and wedges offer. We'll have wedges and half pizza each and save the other half for the next day with added garlic bread. Agree the cost now is ridiculously expensive.

TheChosenTwo · 15/08/2023 15:59

Not dominos because I don’t like them but I’m partial to a Pizza Hut, we all get a large one each but the dealbot usually means we can get 4 or 5 large for £30-40.
We do have a beautiful big stone pizza oven in our garden but sometimes you can’t be arsed to light it an hour before you need it and have made the dough the day before etc etc.
I can eat a lot but get pizza fatigue after about 4 slices. Which is fine as I will eat the rest the next day, heated back up in the oven so the base goes all crispy again. Think we might get one this week actually!

panko · 15/08/2023 16:00

Seriously, a large each, unless drunk, is far too much

GoodChat · 15/08/2023 16:00

I'd eat most of a large and probably keep the last couple of slices for tomorrow's breakfast Grin

You're a chap though?
