Poll of the Day > Pizza is a not a good food for loners

(+) Yeah! (+)

the costs of pizza is meant to be split between friends, roommates, and family. It's not meant to be bought a person living on their own. Tipping is also supposed to be split between multiple people. A single person paying for pizza, delivery charge, and tip is just not worth it.

Speak for yourself...

That's why I very rarely get things delivered to my place. I go and pick it up.

It's always like a 5-10 minute drive away and I get the food faster than I would if I got it delivered and I pay less overall so win win.

I get a large pizza with half a dozen boneless wings and an order of Cinnaparts for like $15. That's bare minimum 2 meals, usually 3. But if I get it delivered, after all the fees and tipping it's closer to like $22. I'm not paying 50% more to get it delivered.

Getting a large double burger meal is probably around the average price of a pizza. Little Caesars + McDonald's Coke = $6+tax. I can eat a whole large pizza but I would most likely keep some for lunch the next day so even better value.

Little Caesars' is a good value...

Pizza places literally give carryout only specials solely for this reason. The fuck you mean 'alternate reality'?

I havent bought milk in a while, but I live in Virginia Beach and I think the last time I bought some it was about $2.50. I know it was less than 3 bucks.

I stopped buying it because I've got more lactose intolerant over the years and it just get's wasted.

The same as my friend. She likes cheese, but can't eat too much. Also lactose intolerant.

I actually realized only recently that I'm lactose intolerant. Obviously is very mild.

I was very lactose intolerant (apparently) when I was a baby, but I seemed to have grown out of it. Relatively recently (like, last several years) I noticed I was having stomach issues. I particularly noticed any cream based things (so like cakes with whipped cream on it) would absolutely destroy me. I assumed it was either the consistency or the sugar or whatever. I never assumed lactose intolerance because I could drink milk with no problems.

But then I started noticing problems after ingesting milk. And that's when I finally connected the dots and realized that I had become lactose intolerant again. I don't avoid dairy entirely (I still eat pizza for example), but I do avoid specific things now - cream based ice creams ("ice milk" like Dairy Queen seems fine) and milk are the two big ones, and everything else I eat in moderation.

Yeah. My friend can have dairy. And does eat some dairy products. But not a lot. Just a little here and there...

Dominos on Mondays with their half off coupon puts a medium pizza at $8.

I have never seen a large Pizza under $10 in the 10s here in Boston even if it's a cheese pizza (and I don't do cheese pizza). It's expensive to live here so makes sense everything else is priced higher. My local places charge 12 something for ONE topping in a large.

Lots of options

take-out
Little Caesars: $6 +tax
Pizza Hut often has specials: $8-$10

grocery store frozen pizza: 15 minutes in oven.
Palermo's $2
Jack's $2.50
small Totino's Party Pizza $1.19 (fits in toaster-oven)

scratch-made.
Chef Boyardee pizza kit: makes two pizzas $4.50
Crust mix $.99 Sauce $1.39 Shredded Cheese $2.50 Pepperoni $.99. enough sauce for 2 pizzas, enough cheese and pepperoni for 4 pizzas.

or make pizza boats: loaf of French Bread or package of English Muffins, cheese, sauce, toppings, as cheap as scratch-made, bake in toaster-oven

Frozen pizzas are an anomaly here - they're typically $8, but they're ALWAYS on sale to bring them to normal prices.

Disagree completely.

When I was single and living by myself I almost exclusively ate pizza. (this was circa 2002-2008)

Nearly every pizza place had $5 large one-topping pizzas. Just pick one up after work on the way home and you have a hot meal. You probably won't eat it all - so you'll have some left over for the next day.

Even if you do eat it all - eating at McDonalds costs $4 or so - so it is very comparable.

You realize if you have it delivered it's an extra $3 or more? Also there is no Pizza Hut in my town.

That isn't a hick town. My Grandma and Grandpa lived in a small town called Elizabeth Town here in Illinois and it only had 350 people living in it. It also didn't have any big chain restaurants or even a big chain stores in it. Now that is a hick town. Had to go quite a distance just to get to a town with those things.

I pay those things cause I don't have a car to drive somewhere. Then again I never order pizza unless someone is visiting me.
---

Pizza's great......often. Depends on the restaurant. People may not be loners by choice, however, and as such can't afford to eat it on a daily basis.

I don't think being alone or with friends really matter. Like kukukupo said, I can pick up a $5 one on the way home. If you want it ordered, it's a little more. But even then, I've order pizza in groups and alone. I feel I pay more in groups and get less. But in a perfect world, you get the same amount of pizza for money in a group or alone.

Buy a large pizza or two

Eat what you'd normally eat and wait for the pizza to cool down. Wrap individual slices in seran wrap and stick them in the freezer. Now you have pizza for up to about a month..

Whole pizza pies are awesome if you're alone. You can get the exact toppings you like and can save slices for multiple meals... Or eat the whole damn thing in one sitting if you want! It's your pizza!
