How much domino's pizza can you eat?

[TulipVictory]

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 🙈

I can understand ordering Chinese, Indian, Thai as you actually have to cook those but how easy is it to cover a base in sauce and add cheese etc then slam it in the oven, 20 mins start to finish. You could have made and eaten your pizza before Domino's deliver.

It definitely feels like its gone up a lot more recently. I remember when Mcds was a cheap takeaway, hasnt been for a while now as that can cost as much as a chinese takeaway these days. Some of the meals can get to £10 if you want a milkshake.

It doesn't taste the same though.

It's like that old Eddie Murphy sketch from the 80s where he jokes about kids wanting a McDonalds and his mum making him a burger at home - but it's nothing like McDonalds.

I love home made pizza and it's one of our regular go-to quick meals for the kids (although I'm lazy and don't actually make the dough myself usually).

But occasionally I really fancy a Pizza Hut or Dominos because I want the specific pizza from there. Home made pizza not even remotely the same, unfortunately.

This. And all I can see after this comment is the inevitable ‘oh my god I could eat one slice then never eat until the end of the century’ 🤣

Apparently food shaming is hilarious as long as it's done to those with smaller appetites.

We usually have 4-5 slices each and a side like chicken wings or kickers. We have loads of garlic and herb dip too.

Takeaway pizza is now an insane price. I also get a large one, but I do leave the crusts.

I'll never be capable of replicating or bettering this thing of beauty (2 for £8 in NI).

Pffft. No one could possibly eat a whole MN chicken. It feeds a family of eight for at least a week.

I consider myself quite a big eater! But I would usually order a medium and some dough balls, then eat 5 slices and half the dough balls and save the rest for lunch the next day.

I think often it's hard to compare amounts across people because people will all be eating pizza in different scenarios.

I can defo eat a large Dominoes. Can. Not always will. If I haven't eaten at all that day (often happens with work), for example. And I don't bother with sides or dessert etc (which I sometimes do). And I am not drinking (drink fills me up so I eat less). Yes, easily put away a large.

For me, it doesn't really matter what calories it is etc because I live somewhere they are not - so I eat a Dominoes about once every other year and often with friends while away etc. Which makes it more of a celebration food, for me. I don't suppose a 3000kcal meal every other year is going to change my average much.

If I was ordering them once a month for 'normal days tea' on a day when I'd eaten a normal lunch? I'd probably be on here saying I couldn't possibly manage a large pizza all to myself

I find pizza incredibly filling so usually 2-3 slices, and then prefer the leftovers cold the next morning.

No way I could eat a whole large one (and I’m fat!)

we get an XL between us from local pizza place, it’s 10.99 and more than enough for us 2 adults and 1 teenager

This is what we do. Also not a MN massive salad eater, but we get a medium thin crust each and some chicken strips to share between the two of us. We usually just eat half the medium (sometimes a slice more) and save the rest for the following day. Would quite happily eat the whole medium pizza but am conscious it's something like a day's worth of calories so generally don't.
