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 🙈

Speak for yourself @DuplicateUserName I found @Allmarbleslost " one slice with a massive salad and I don't need to eat again for days" laugh out loud funny 😁

God the 'huge salad', 'sniff the pizza box', 'One small pizza would last me a week' jokes are so bloody boring and repetitive 🙄🙄

I think MNHQ should update the OP with

"These 'jokes' have been done to death and are about as boring and predictable as 'Did you mean to be so rude?' " 😂

Yet people are still here commenting shit like ‘eat less, that’s so greedy’ and mentioning the calorie content as if OP asked anything about that?

Projecting your own food issues onto other people is shitty. 👍🏼

Someone told me about a lettuce leaf in 1998 and I haven't been hungry since.

(JK, I could eat a large pizza, especially with wine)

Hold on, how large is a Dominos large?

Massive

FrenchandSaunders · 15/08/2023 16:21

I could eat a whole large but I try not to and I do love a cold slice of pizza for breakfast, eaten by the open fridge, gazing in.

DH thinks I’m an animal 🤣

I've just had a nosey at the dominos website … double decadence … how have I never heard about this! Two thin bases sandwiched together with a cheesey sauce 😋😋

Friggingfrog · 15/08/2023 16:22

We are 2 adults and 2 kids. We get a large to share (with stuffed crust because I love it) , the kids a large to share and the sides of chicken dipper things and potato wedges. We also get the cookies because they’re amazing. We sometimes have 2/3 slices left over and no one else likes leftover pizza so I eat them the next day. The cost is excessive though so it’s a treat for us like a birthday or some kind of celebration

PoshPineapple · 15/08/2023 16:22

@Kitcaterpillar
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).

This 😂

Double Decadence is fucking amazing. It's the only reason I ever order takeaway pizza.

Although it is a bit hit and miss as sometimes the filling seeps out and you get a dry disappointment. I think that's why they took it off the menu for ages. But since it came back it's been much more reliable.

leatherchaps · 15/08/2023 16:23

I'd struggle to even finish half a Massive Salad tbh

DinnaeFashYersel · 15/08/2023 16:23

None its too greasy for me.

I prefer Pizza Express or a Chinese

Leo227 · 15/08/2023 16:23

ugh thanks for this post, I now need to order domino's tonight as I can't stop thinking about the texas bbq.

HedgehogOBrien · 15/08/2023 16:24

It’s not “food issues”to say a large dominos pizza is massive amount of food.

NewNovember · 15/08/2023 16:24

Three large is enough for two adults and three children assuming the children are not teenagers.

Eudaimonia5 · 15/08/2023 16:26

One large pizza and one portion of potato wedges feeds me and my 11 year old and there's always 3 slices left that I scoff the next day. But we're both slim and only 5ft 3. Of course, if you're 6ft 4 and built like a brick shit house you'll eat more than we do.

The "am I eating enough/too much" threads don't really make sense unless you state your height and build.

Why not order just one large pizza then ?

Because we get Two for Tuesday so it costs the same either way?

FrenchandSaunders · 15/08/2023 16:26

@ItsNotRocketSalad sounds amazing. I might order one tonight ….

Quite.

2000+ calories of ultra-processed shite is really unhealthy binge eating with masses of salt, sugar, chemicals and saturated fat.

There's a healthy middle ground between two lettuce leaves and a large takeaway pizza.

teaorme · 15/08/2023 16:26

A large and a side. The price is stupid. I prefer pizza express and franco Manca and the likes

kelsaycobbles · 15/08/2023 16:27

Wow

Large domino's 2,500 calories

How about grabbing a bag of green salad and halving the pizzas ?

PurpleButterflyWings · 15/08/2023 16:27

A small one to myself. That's it. But I can eat half a box of maltesers about 10 minutes after oddly! 😬 (You have a different stomach for your dessert/pudding.) Grin

tt9 · 15/08/2023 16:27

both domino's and pizza hut have gone seriously downhill and overpriced. so many great pizza places out there these days - often cheaper I find and better quality.

Whatmeagain · 15/08/2023 16:27

My 13-year-old would have a large one to himself - we obviously only have them rarely for so many reasons 🤣

Pizza and salad together is YUM Grin Yep, half a large pizza and a salad is nice.

We have stopped ordering pizza as it's so expensive
