Pizza hut is 2x as expensive as Domino's and is arguably worse

I regret to inform you that places like Domino's and Pizza Hut, except in Italy (because why would you open garbage pizza stores in loving Italy of all places you morons), are massively popular around the world.

The whole world wants garbage pizza apparently. And it saddens me.

And let's not even get into stuff like McDonald's and Starbucks.

before the advent of deliveroo, ubereats etc dominos filled the niche of "i just got back from a night out at 4 in the morning and im suddenly hungry as gently caress for some greasy garbage i dont care how much it costs" and honestly it might still fill that niche, i wouldnt know

As far as I can tell in the UK their business model is sell poo poo pizza at stupid prices but always make sure there are readily accessible discount coupons. People then feel like they're getting a good deal despite Domino's still making an insane markup.

Historically we didn't have much of a delivery network either which differentiated Domino's, but that's less of a deal now even in more rural places.

yeah, no one ever pays full price for Dominos/Pizza hut/Papa Johns etc. etc.

And also, I love me a good pizza, but sometimes I just have a taste for specifically a Pizza Hut Supreme. I don't know why or where it comes from. But like 2-3 times a year I just have a taste for that specific garbage rear end pizza.

The New York style pizzas that Dominos/Pizza Hut/their clones make bad versions of are popular because they're a gently caress load of cheese with salted meats and that's exactly what you want sometimes.
The people who wank themselves silly over proper authentic pizza are mostly just eating a load of bread with a tea spoon of tomato sauce and half a slice of parma ham and feeling smug about it.
Sometimes also adorned with hedge trimmings that no one asked for.

Hard agree.

Most Italian food is peasant food. That's the whole deal, making something good out of whatever poo poo you have left in the pantry. People intellectualising a Bolognese are first up against the wall.

That being said whoever thinks "Altoona Pizza" is acceptable can eat a 9mm round.

Counterpoint: it's so incredibly easy to not gently caress up a pizza and yet so many restaurants think it's fine to gently caress up the crust and/or make it overly greasy. A certain level of snobbishness is permissible when it's like "how have they not yet figured this out"

Ready to get back to work so you can have a break from the family? :D

Seriously though, I hope you are enjoying the downtime although you did say you were rather busy during it.

Do you think of solutions to things during the downtime, which obviously you cannot work on, or are you able to actually switch off and take that much needed break?

Downtime is good and easy to switch off. Literally everyone else is off too so there's no distractions at all and I don't feel any need to be within 10 minutes of a laptop at all times.

Mostly looking forward to Spa as I've got hospitality tickets to watch the race at the HQ conference centre.

Are they genuinely making a mistake or just mistakenly believe that their gently caress up is some regional variant? I swear some motherfucker could give me Welsh rarebit with some canned ham on top and with a straight face tell me it was Gaelic style pizza.

Pizza Tastes So Delicious?

Just-In-Timeberlake
Aug 18, 2003
For a long time I was of the opinion that even "bad" pizza is still pizza and while it's not some wood fired pizza from Naples, it's still fine. I go to someone's house to watch a game and they've got a stack of Little Caesars (insert Domino's, PH, whatever) cause it's $5/pie? Cool, still dece.

Then I had my mind changed by the worst Domino's pizza I've ever had (in Moorhead, Minnesota, if you recognize the name, it's where Bunny Lebowski ran away from to be a porn star), like I took 2 bites and tapped out. To this day I can't fathom loving up a pizza that bad.
