Pizzas -worst value fast food?

marl · 3 Jan 2009 at 23:11

Got a 'large,' meat feast thin crust one from Pizza Hut. Massive box, good service but the Pizza was anorexically thin and skimpy on the toppings. It tasted fine, but at a price of £12.50 I felt ripped off!

Pizza should be thin.

I agree! I always feel ripped off when buying a pizza.

Pizza is only poor value fast food if you buy it from a large chain like Pizza Hut.

Indeed. Independent places, if they are good, are the best value, same goes for most fast food. If it has to be from a chain then go Dominoes.

Depends what crust you get. Different types have different thicknesses

Domino's is better.

pizzas from the local keeeeeebab store are gonna be better value. You are doing it wrong!

I agree but I must get 20+ menus through my letterbox every week here in London from random chicken/pizza places - everyone I've tried basically use the same base, same ingredients and cooked using the same automatic pizza ovens - They are all pretty awful and I always feel like I should have paid the extra for a Dominos.

This is why you go for a pizza hut buffet at lunch for about £5.

marl · 3 Jan 2009 at 23:16

Think i'll stick to frozen ones in future!

Andr3w · 3 Jan 2009 at 23:16

should have got stuffed crust tbh

Pay the extra for the dominos?

make your own? buy bases, takes 5 fun minutes to create a personalized pizza

Find a local Italian restaurant that does takeaways. Our nearest one does awesome pizzas. Quality not quantity, which you won't find at Pizza Hut.

I have been doing for the last 6 months... I doubt any of the independent places have upped their game in that time.
