    There are people in this world who have seriously tried to sell me on the idea that frozen pizza is just as good as delivery.

    And those people worry me.

      It’s best for everyone that we just accept that they are two different pizza concepts, and should not be ranked between each other.

        I say that I like “garbage pizza” because that’s how everyone around me treats the pizzas I like. I don’t like the “good pizzas” that everyone keeps raving about. I’ll take Domino’s or Pizza Pizza any day of the week.

          That’s 100% true. Same with frozen. Sometimes I just want some air fried digornos, not anything that was made with love shudder

        Oh there are many more than two

        You’ve got your classics: Neapolitan, NY, Chicago, Detroit

        Then you’ve got the modern day extra categories: frozen, thin crust, kebab shop pizza & domino’s (there’s probably more I’m forgetting right now)

        Yes Domino’s is its own category, if you’re craving Domino’s, no other pizza will do it and if you’re craving any other kind of pizza, Domino’s isn’t gonna hit right.

        Also Papa John’s is not pizza, just round disappointment.

          I am embarrassed to say that I like thin crust papa johns, but only if it’s cold…? Although, I’ve only eaten it while hungover, so it’s obviously a crap “pizza” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      How about this argument. Just a quality ratio.

      2 large delivery pizzas, to the door: $50 all in. $25per

      2 good quality frozen pizzas: $12. $6 per

      So we could say that delivery is four TIMES better… and based on price/quality alone… they’re equal to frozen.

      (I think we all know I’m not proposing an actual serious argument. But the cost difference is wild)

        Laughs in Italian, where 50 euros would buy you 7 delivery pizzas. I feel really sorry for you people

          4 pepperoni, 1 sausage, 1 cheese is $40.94 here (subtotal) if you pick it up. That’s Little Caesars though, so… The pickier you are, the higher the cost. People who pay $25 for a pizza usually chose to buy something nice and or paid delivery and 5 other fees.

      I mean, depends on the frozen pizza. 99% of them are worse, but there’s one brand I get at wally world for like $7 a pizza that is better than 99% of the pizza I can order (and we have some pretty solid pizza joints around here).

      Had to quit getting them though because they’re like 6000 kcal.

      Delivery pizza is always soggy with no proper crust, imo worse than some frozen pizza

      Here in Germany, take-out pizza is usually pretty good, depending on the restaurant. However, when it comes to vegan pizzas (ie. pizzas with actual vegan cheese on top), the selection of restaurants to choose from shrinks a lot. There’s one joint where we usually order from where a large 60x40cm pizza costs around 25€. It’s good, but it’s nowhere near worth the price in my books.

      The vegan frozen pizzas in our supermarkets, though, are banging. There’s one particular supermarket chain (Rewe) that recently added a new vegan frozen pizza that imitates tuna pizza and it’s amazing and only costs like 2,80€ per pizza. Amazing dough, crust, it’s packed full of ingredients, the cheese is good - can’t complain. And it costs next to nothing compared to take-out
