Pizzas always came out as being incredibly profitable compared with the cost to make them. That's why there are so many pizza restaurants and franchises. Two years ago a business that supplies Pizza takeaways told me the sector had experienced a 63% drop in turnover because of Just Eat/Delieveroo etc. edit: Just noticed your Signature the business was based in Park Royal 7 hours ago, mel b3 said: See , now that's how the rich get richer .

udderlyoffroad Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Only ever had a dominos with my mate’s 50% emergency services discount. Even then it was over-priced and mediocre compared to what one of the pubs near us does a pizza for in their “proper” pizza oven. Each to their own, but for what Dominos charge you’ll likely find an actual Italian near you that does an decent pizza for a few pounds more.

stumfelter Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Six quid for a medium pizza collected doesn't seem a lot to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibble Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 When I stay in Okehampton for work I get a Pizza for £9.99 from Okehampton Fried Chicken quick TAB up the road and you can sit on the edge of Dartmoor looking back north, always think I should write a restaurant review along the lines of "food not bad but stunning views" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The salami and roquito peppers one is great, the flat stone-baked garlic bread is good too. Domino's is rubbish. Just had a flyer through the door, the picture looks like something from the freezer section in Iceland and the one we'd get is about twenty quid delivered!

Vince Green Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Strange facts, Pizza as we know it today is not Italian, it started off in the poorest neighbourhoods of New York and Chicago. Because of fire risk the tenants in high rise apartment buildings were not allowed to have cooking facilities so had to send food out to cook houses at the end of each road to be cooked. The Italian immigrants sent their food on a Pizza (actually a flat metal cooking dish). The rest as they say is history, its probably the most easily recognised food world wide. That no cooking ban probably did more to kick start the whole fast food industry than any other single event. Kebabs are not Greek, they originated in India but British troops took the idea and the name to Cyprus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
