With Dominoes you pay for the brand. Better to find a decent local Italian restaurant that delivers imo.

If they sell other Italian food apart from pizza, then their pizza will more likely created by a chef rather than someone who just chucks toppings on mass produced bread bases.

The person quoted uses it as their default answer no matter what the subject.

So every single one of them has terrible hygiene?

Rubbish.

Which is alright if you have a local Italian restaurant that delivers.

There's one woman on here ( can't recall her username) who is obsessed with cheap food!

If you even begin to mention anything remotely well-farmed or healthy she goes off on one about how she's on the breadline and has a fussy husband and can only afford the Tesco Value battery chickens etc.
No problem in funding a computer and broadband line rental though apparently!

Something a bit special, not pay through the nose for food that I can buy in the supermarket.”

Good pizza is not "the cheapest food to produce."

I eat in these places but I too think they're overpriced, a lot of the time you're just paying for the brand name. Eating 3 course in TGI's costs more or less the same as 3 course in my local pub and the food is a lot nicer and service is better. But I still eat in TGI's from time to time

Oh yea...know who you mean. She also goes off on one if you suggest places like Iceland may not have great quality food, and the word 'snob' gets bandied about.

That is true, or the easiest Years ago, I used to work in a hotel and they had a chef there that used to make Pizza by hand, including the base, the way he used to chuck it around to stretch it was amazing, I tried it once and failed

I don't think it's necessarily all about that. I love cooking and I like to think I'm good at it. I buy as much local produce as I can and ethically sourced ingredients but we do go out quite a bit because sometimes it's nice to just enjoy the experience.

My husband and I can just down tools and concentrate on a nice evening out where neither of us is cooking / cleaning up and we can just concentrate on chatting and catching up with our lives. We go to all sorts of places - Nandos, gastropubs, Italian chain restaurants, fine French dining restaurants depending on how we feel and yeah, we know that a lot of the time I probably could cook the meal we are going to have a lot better at home and cheaper but for us it's not about that. It's for going out together / with friends and not having to do anything for an evening -having a good talk, people watching, relaxing, breaking routine and being social.
