Note I did not buy any food for myself.

To head off questions:

  1. No, I couldn’t cook for her. I’m suffering from a long-term illness where I can’t eat solid foods and am extremely smell sensitive. My wife is at a funeral, so I had to order food.

  2. She’s extremely picky and refused to let me order anything but pizza.

  3. We live outside of town, in a not very big town, with very few pizza delivery options, and they’re all at least this expensive.

  4. No, I didn’t also have to buy her the cheesy bread or the second topping or the sauces, but it’s nice to get my daughter a treat and that is no excuse for the order being that expensive.

  5. We’re in Indiana, so this should be ludicrous in terms of pricing. This used to be the pricing I would expect when we lived in L.A. and ordered from a good local place rather than a chain.

Edit: Turns out what I should have been infuriated about is people repeatedly telling me to get takeout and having to repeatedly explain why that wasn’t an option, having people not believe I’m sick, and being repeatedly berated for not magically knowing food coupons exist on the internet when I never order food on the internet. Oh right, and also being a bad parent for not forcing food my daughter doesn’t like down her throat or starving her if she won’t eat it.

By the way, I have another thing to be infuriated about. A huge storm came in and this happened to our trees. I assume I will start being berated for not cutting them down before that happened, but because I have no power or internet at home and have to go to the library to post, your further posts telling me what an idiot I am and how I’m an awful parent and how I’m not really sick will take me a while to read. Sorry to ruin your day. Maybe you’ll find someone else to treat like shit.

Anyway, have fun telling me I’m the worst person on Lemmy, just don’t expect a quick reply.

Oh, and do tell me how stupid I am for not knowing that people who clear up and fix such damage have coupons on their website.

    At over something like 2200 calories, that is 4 meals though, so like $7 per meal. Still horribly expensive for pizza though.

      Pizza is overpriced for pizza though. I ordered from my non-chain local place. Everybody loves them. 2 pizzas, $90 before tip.

          For $90 I sure as fuck hope they have the owner strapped to a goddamn milking machine to make the cheese. That or the landlord.

          Restaurant landlords are a special kind of scum. They let restaurants revolve in and out until someone finally makes a splash. Then they raise the rents for the next lease. Every fucking time.

        I can’t wrap my mind over that price, our most overpriced place are $30 a pizza and those are humongous. Did you include overpriced sides? I find $15 for 6 wings a bit much and that’d usually do it.

          VHCOL area here, the god tier pizzas are about $50 each for a large pizza. Dominos is still Dominos pricing.

          I’m not counting the super mega fancy sit down places that have Michelin starred chefs making pizza either.
