I really can’t be bothered to cook, I’m on my own so it doesn’t affect anyone.

Using the word pizza to refer something from Papa Johns, Dominos or Pizza Hut.

YABU - just go to bed and make something nourishing tomorrow

YANBU - get a pizza

Are you hungry? That would be my main driver about which to choose

Torganer · 15/11/2023 17:25

If you’re hungry get a pizza. Or have some toast. Can’t imagine wanting to go to bed this early though!!

LetMeHibernate · 15/11/2023 17:26

Zero appetite but it would be hard to completely ignore hot carbs and cheese if someone brought it to the door.

If you're hungry and you can afford it, why not treat yourself! You can always nourish yourself tomorrow 😉

That’s a good point, it’s not even anywhere near bedtime yet is it!

When did you last eat?

I’d probably just get pizza anyway tbh. Papa johns vegan garden party for me. 😋

AlisonDonut · 15/11/2023 17:28

Get the pizza. Enjoy.

Busephalus · 15/11/2023 17:28

Can't you just have a piece of toast? Can you eat a whole pizza?

Never heard of leftovers? Best part of getting a pizza!

It also freezes well.

Bellaboo01 · 15/11/2023 17:30

If you fancy ordering a pizza - do it.

If you don't want to - don't.

SIMPLE :)

There’s always one. “Oh no not a whole pizza.” 🤣

TastesLikeStrawberriesOnASummerEvening · 15/11/2023 17:32

It's a bit of a waste if you aren't really hungry, I'd just have toast or noodles or whatever.

I had brunch around midday, homemade tortilla chips with salsa and parmesan.

Get the pizza, or better still a kebab with salad, you can fool yourself into believing it's healthy

SurprisedWithAHorse · 15/11/2023 17:33

Get the Greek and it will be absolutely beyond reproach.

LetMeHibernate · 15/11/2023 17:35

Votes overwhelmingly in favour of 🍕so that settles that. Thanks everyone!

Then you definitely need to eat before bed. Get ordering!

Any reason for your lack of appetite? Are you ok?

LetMeHibernate · 15/11/2023 17:37

I’m a bit down in the dumps, usually have a great appetite.

Sorry to hear that. Maybe some pizza and then an early night with a good book or film might help? Hope you’re ok. x

Findyourneutralspace · 15/11/2023 17:48

Down in the dumps you say? Pizza will cheer you up and fill you up.

Hope you feel better soon

LetMeHibernate · 15/11/2023 17:49

Thanks, I really appreciate those kind thoughts.

Pizza is the perfect cure when down in the dumps!! Hope something hot cheesy and delicious is on its way to you 🍕

Cheepcheepcheep · 15/11/2023 17:51

I know what you mean, I usually have a great appetite but mine goes zip when I’m feeling sad.

Im going to go against the grain and say that if you order a pizza and then just pick at it you’re going to feel more miserable about the wasted money/pizza. Or you’ll eat it and feel stuffed and sad…

I’d Deliveroo myself a few picky bits - supermarket deli pots, bread roll, some ham - and then it’s not too overwhelming. That’s just me though!

Hope things pick up :)

That’s such a good idea, I will definitely try that next time.

For now, there’s a Philly cheesesteak pizza coming (minus steak, plus sweetcorn) along with a couple of sides and some cinnamon things for pudding. It’s so outrageously overpriced I will have to eat it.

I was about to say it’s very early to eat dinner, wait a couple of hours and see if you’re hungry then.
But I see you’ve decided to go for it - enjoy! Hot cheese pizza delivered to the door is hard to resist and it sounds like you need some stodgy comfort food 💐
