If this is the pizza for 36 $ I feel pitty for humanity.
Someone, who probably works a shitty job that pays mostly for their rent, comes home way too tired and depressed to cook. Orders a pizza that looks absolutely underwhelming. For money that is equivalent for a month of food in another country.
You're forgetting the neutron star on the side

I'm in Canada, when I order pizza for my family of 3 it comes out to like $65+ with tax and delivery, it's insane. Took them to burger king the other day, we got 3 meals and a couple of apple turnovers and it came out to $50+, shit is insane.
Tfw burger king costs same as sit down
Nah man, sit downs have doubled in price too. I took them to a sit down place a few months back and it came out to like $150

Just prepare your own food at this point?..
I generally order only when I can't. Like when the day has been a hectic disaster, it's 20 minutes from dinner, I haven't had a chance to go to the store or cook, and the kids gotta eat. If it was just me alone I'd survive in crackers
You're not going to want to hear this, but to survive going forward and not be constantly ordering take out or fast food, we all have to do better in planning ahead. The world is full of poverty traps, and keeping people too busy to cook for themselves is part of the plan. Batch meals, soups, leftovers.

You gotta order online and use their apps and newsletters it can cut the price by half if not more. They are making their prices punitive for not using their apps now. Domino's should be about $8 a pizza.
They're giving you a discount via app because they're collecting your data

Did a fast casual place last week with 3 other adults. 65 dollars for 4 burgers, 3 drinks, and 2 small fries. Of course they asked me for a tip.
I really try to avoid restaurants. Every time I go I end up angry.
In Romania a pizza is $4-6 for a small one and for a large one $8-10
What's that 20$ per pizza. 3 pizzas? That's pricy pizza. Is it good pizza at least?
We (loc: krautland) totally stopped ordering take-out. It gets less and less, worse and worse, cheaper and cheaper, but also more and more expensive. It's not worth it anymore. At all.
We may be just some cheap fucks (as many still do, even those with way less moneyz), but takeout is no viable alternative to cooking anymore.
The Chinese food place near me still sells lunch specials for <10$. It's the only place I order out from anymore and it will probably close soon.

Gustavo Gusto frozen pizza is better than at least 80% of delivery pizza anyway, so I just stock those.

I saw Home Alone on TV during Christmas and the cheese pizza Kevin orders from Little Nero’s was $12 or $13. I’m impressed and grateful that I can still get a pizza for that price sometimes like 35 years later. Cheaper if I go to Caesars and pick up
Their crazy bread is like crack to me I stg

Last time I ordered pizza it came out to $30. We make it at home now. Better quality anyway, besides one of my daughters really loves cooking it with me.
...and they're still asking for tips.
It all went downhill when they let the delivery people set the prices
...?
If you are culinary challenged like myself but would like to making pizza at home, here's some suggestions:
Frozen grocery store cheese pizza but fancied up by adding whatever topping you are in the mood for. An "Italian seasoning" spice adds a lot of flavor.
Instead of a traditional pizza dough opt for something simpler like French bread or pitas. Slather on sauce, cheese, toppings. This was my introduction to "cooking" when I was broke.
Pre-made pizza crust like Boboli which is nice but ups the cost. You can also buy uncooked dough though I've never gone this route. I tried making my own dough back when bread machines were a thing but I could never get the hand of it.
Robin Hood pizza flour. I'm sure there are other brands but this is what our mom would use to make pizza most weekends. Now that I'm thinking about I'll have to pick some up
I feel about the word "slather" the way a lot of people seem to feel about the word moist.
I really miss RES. I would tag people like you so I could always use the word slather whenever I saw you again.

I hope whatever they are slathering is moist.

You know if you order pizza from a place that's actually good, which is to say not Dominos or Pizza Hut, then that's actually a fair price. That's how much I pay including tip and delivery. In Chicagoland.

I remember when you could get a large pizza at Little Caesar's for $5.
I remember when Little Cesar's didn't suck, but that didn't last either.

Make pizza at home. Stop falling into poverty traps.
I understand wanting to give people the tools to help themselves but it's also important to keep in mind that this sort of logic has been used to punish the poor and victim blame for any excess pleasure expenditure.
Poverty is a symptom of a failing system and does not fall solely on the individual to escape.
You are assuming the people have the time to learn, the energy, even a kitchen with enough space to do it. Now if you're just talking about like a frozen pizza sure whatever but if you're talking about making it from scratch that's a lot of fucking work not everyone has that kind of time

Tbf sometimes you don't have the energy or time to cook at home. When that happens pizza is one of the cheapest options. But not freakin $36 pizza that looks marginally better than Little Ceasars.
