I had a look on their menu recently and a large pizza can cost upwards of £25. For a single pizza. You can buy the ingredients for about £3 and make your own. Even if you’re too lazy/talentless to make your own dough, frozen pizza bases cost sod all.
Big advantage the pizza shops have is professional ovens. They heat up hotter and more evenly than a typical domestic one so the base gets nicely done on the outside but still soft-ish in the middle. Homemade bases always seem to come out a bit like biscuits, in my limited experience. Domino bases are the best imo.
I can only think you're making your bases wrongly. I know what you're talking about, with a proper stone oven, but you can can easily buy a stone base and heat it up in conventional oven. Then there's the thing, do you want an Italian style pizza, or an American? I'd rather have Pesto Pasta myself. Does everyone know I predicted we'd win 3-1 last night? 3-1. Kempton rules
The advantage of making your own is it's already at your house when it's done. And isn't full of grease and other chemicals. And you can put your own cheese on. And doesn't cost as much as 7 pints. And tastes better. And allows for a wider range of toppings and combos. And allows you to put far more cheese on than a takeaway would. And takes less time to make than ordering one. Did I mention the cheese? And you can do your own stuffed crust with a layer of mustard around the mozzarella. Cheese tho.
Pasco's in Cottingham are brilliant. L'Italiano on Wold Road are very good for a takeaway, but they put some sort of lemony herb on it so all their pizzas have a sweet after taste, which is a bit odd and a shame because without it those pizzas would be top of the list.
But I like a Domino's now and again! I also like fish and chips from time to time and even a McDonalds about 3 times a year. And, I bet anything you like I can order one quicker than you can make one from a standing start!
Only one pizza company deliver to where I live. There used to be two but I kept ringing for a delivery from a pub over the road and cadging a life home with the delivery driver. Best taxi ever.
If you've got the dough ready (not even stretched, just made), you can have fresh pizza on the table in 15 minutes. Are you telling me that it takes 15 minutes for Domino's to bring you a pizza? I wouldn't ever eat McDonalds, it's literally poison.
There's a little kiosk down an alleyway behind the Fauno Bar in Sorrento that does sensational pizzas for about 2 euros 50. You're not gonna beat that price for the quality you get. Admittedly you might need to factor in travel costs but it'll still come in less that a Dominoes without a voucher. Possibly.
We stayed in Vico Equense (about three stops from Sorrento) and there's a Deli just off the square that did the best pizza I've ever had. I've never had one better than that.
Nothing will ever beat an Al Capone pizza from cosa nostra on holderness rd Back in the early 90’s No one puts garlic butter on pizzas anymore Danieles were the best
Cott Pizza is cheap and greasy, but they have an option for garlic butter on the pizza if you want it
Best place to get a pizza is a normal takeaway, there's at least some care put into making it in a lot of those. Al Capone's in Preston is ****ing beautiful. Actually a lot of the takeaways out in Holderness are quite nice. Guy's and La Piccolino's in Patrington are both good, and despite being in Withernsea, a few of the Withernsea takeaways are alright too.
Was that the one where the worker making the bases used to twirl it round like a juggler? Across the road from East Park? Edit. Local MP constituancy office in the same block of shops?
