Today we ordered pizza from Pizza Hut
and I paid two dollars more for the Super
Supreme.
It tastes so much better with all
the toppings and not just a few.
I think it was worth the extra money.
I could have gone cheap and bought
a cheaper pizza for $6.99 but then it
wouldn't have tasted so good.
You get what you pay for, quality wise.
When you are ordering pizza, do you
go for the extras, even though they
cost more?
Or, do you go cheap on pizza, just to
save a couple dollars?

No, I never pay extra for anything ever. I am terribly tight with money and as the days go on I get worse I think! If I can save money by going cheap then I do. Besides which, I cannot eat pizza anymore much to my disgust, it gives me a really bad tum nowadays so I have to avoid it like the plague or I end up ill for a few days until it is out of my system!

Although I prefer the taste of my homemade pizza over any restaurants, Pizza Hut would be my top choice of all restaurants (and not just because hubby and I both worked there). I rarely order from a cheaper, less quality pizza place, and there are a few places I refuse to order from. So far as toppings go, I don't really like many of them. I prefer to only have 1 topping if any. Most of the time I'll have plain cheese. Sometimes I'll put onion or mushroom, but that's about it. The kids like sausage or onion, hubby likes any kind of meat, and sometimes we'll make a chicken wing pizza, which is to die for. [katsmeow1213]
My daughter loves the cheese pizza too. [beautyqueen26]
I don't order pizza, it is just way too expensive and I can't justify it to feed my family of 3. We like pizza and it would take 2 pizzas to give everyone as much as they want. I would eat 2 pieces, but my sil could eat a whole one by himself. We also like leftovers for breakfast.. I buy the Digorno or Freshetta pizza that has the whole wheat crust. We don't like the Supreme pizzas.. but do like the 3 cheese and the Pepperoni. [OreoCookie3]
Thank you Beauty! I'm going to Stevie B's Pizza place for my birthday next month.. they even have dessert pizza there.. on a buffet. [OreoCookie3]
Well I have a pizza shop just about 8 doors down from me but it is a gourmet pizza shop and their pizza's are all one size and they are about $17 each, they are very nice but I have only bought from them once, I prefer to pay less than that so I guess the price does make a difference... [lilaclady]
Yeah, $17 is a little out of my price range too. [beautyqueen26]
I normally go to a place where a large pizza is $8.49 and they do not charge for toppings. A cheese pizza and a pizza with the works is the same price. They do charge $1.59 for extra cheese and I normally get that. [lilybug]
My kids only like pepperoni pizza so that is what we order all the time. However, when I buy it frozen, I always go rather cheap and then I add whatever I have left in the fridge: ham, mushrooms, tomatoe sauce, cheese. I must admit that given the financial situation, I go more and more for cheap, even if it is just saving a couple dollars. I hate being like this, but I am kind of forced to do it. [frenchmom]
If food isn't going to taste good, then I am not interested in eating it. Fortunately the place here that makes good pizza doesn't charge that much, so I don't have to pay more for a good pizza. I wouidln't buy a bad tasting one just because it was cheap. [danishcanadian]
They used to have the best pizza in a little pizza place in upstate New York. It was three dollars a slice. But each slice was about the size of a small pizza. That stuff was awesome! [beautyqueen26]
As long as its a pizza and it taste good, I don't care if it's cheap or pricy. I buy it everywhere even those on the sidewalk that vendors sell. I rarely buy from malls, but if I can afford it I will buy it definitely. The pizza that I would like to taste is those big ones, the biggest that I ever ate was the family size which is about 14" or so. What is the biggest pizza that you've ate? [rhyannefranz]
well, i would just love to taste different stuff regularly... it doesn't matter the price as long as i'm able to afford it... i would never let my mouth waters for new stuff when i'm able to satisfy it for... Smiley, [smiley83]
If I have the money to spend then I go ahead and get the more expensive pizza. If I have to buy cheap pizza I usually do that for the kids when they are asking for pizza. I would rather eat something else instead of eating cheap pizza. It is getting harder though these days with our economy getting worse and worse. I just hope our economy turns around soon. surrender Have a nice day and happy myLotting!!! happy [schulzie]
Same here! If I have to eat bad tasting pizza, I'd rather not eat pizza at all. We don't really buy it too often and it lasts a couple days, and everyone gets some, so it's no more expensive than a trip to the grocery store. Thanks for your comments. Have a great day! [beautyqueen26]
i would first see the quality of pizza. if the quality is nice i would buy it wether it is cheap or costly i dont mind [shirdimanju]
I used to order pizza and pay a little extra for more toppings (which I think is really stupid now) but after the day when me and my brother and my sister-in-law learned that we can buy a bake-ready supreme pizza from walmart for less than 10 dollars, I think we never ordered a pizza whenever we were in a mood for one. If those bake-ready supreme pizza didn't exist, I really wouldn't pay extra dollar just to get more toppings, I would rather go for cheese pizza and save couple dollars, as long as it will fill my stomach. [animeniak]
If i have extra money to spare... i would surely pay for the extras... like extra cheese or go for the super supreme... instead of the regular pizzas... but right now... i get to eat at pizza hut for free... since that is part of my part time job... very cool... and i enjoy the free food very much... [aseretdd]
Well, we usually order from this mom and pop type shop that is in our local strip mall and they are the most delicious pizza I have ever eaten! It's only $9 for a Extra large. We can order one for just my boyfriend and I and have plenty of left overs for the next day or 2. I believe extra toppings are about 50 cents more. It's so worth and actually cheaper than normal chain places. [samijo719]
well if you ask me i am a kind of a guy who likes quality not quantity i do not go to pizza hut to fill my stomach full but i go there to at something special just to expiereince the different flavour the quality the thing which makes it different from the ordinary pizzas.happy lotting. [jijomathew]
hey i order pizza rather daily and i know how does it tastes with extra toppings on it not just few...whenever i order pizza make it sure that i order with extra topings....because it just tastes yummy..i love pizza with extra toppings... [saurabhs]
I order pizza once a month.so i pay more money by eating a better tasting pizza.I also the side orders if i have more money.I never try to save money while buying pizzashappyhappy [vicky30]
hi we generally use to eat pizza very rare,like 1 for month.so when we order 1 for month we will order with many toppings and we will also see the flavour we are getting with that.We order in such a manner that it should sound too good when we eat that pizza later.So we dont think of dollar at that time but we think of the pizza flavour and toppings.we even think of the place we are giving order for,because in some places we dont get good flavoured pizzas.So before giving order we will talk to our friends about that place first and we will give order. [nandigamharika]
I don't really like Super Supreme hehe so I guess I'm lucky to be contented with the cheaper flavors. I don't order extra toppings or dips as well because I'm happy with just the plain pizza. I think it's more of the brand than the flavor though. I don't mind paying more for a more delicious pizza. I can't stand bad pizza! Pizza is supposed to be some kind of comfort food. So if it doesn't taste great then I'll be in a bad mood. [mimico]
not at al!! i prefer payin more for a tastier food! n i obviously go in for extras...lol...live to eat..n eat to live!!! :) [santhoshi1289]
Hi there again beauty queen. I agree that for some things in life when you really want a good thing, you should be ready to invest just a little more to get a lot more quality - pizza is just one of the few things that i agree with :D [elitess]
Yep! Taste is everything with pizza. [beautyqueen26]
I usually dont order pizza and if eating a much better tasting pizza means paying more i would rather just cook my own home made pizza. I can put toppings that i want not to mention that it is healthier since all the ingredients are fresh. I personally pick it and i made the dough myself. I dont only enjoy eating a better tasting pizza and but at I save money at the same time. [belk89]
I think I will buy a pizza with the reasonable price. It's expensive to go out to eat pizza here. And usually I make it at home and I am glad to tell you my pizza also tastes so well:) I love China [youless]
I wish I could make homemade pizza so well! [beautyqueen26]
Well we don't buy pizza from where I used to work anymore because no one knows how to make it right anymore. So I don't care what it costs, if it is not good I won't pay for it. That is why you go out or order in to get exactly what you want. [Ruthep]
It's the truth! If it's six dollars but tastes bad, it's no real deal! [beautyqueen26]
I do both. I try to go when the restaurant has a buffet and pay 4.99 or 5.99 for all you can eat. Pizza Hut, Cici's, Mazzio's - there is probably one with a buffet in your area. If a buffet isn't an option, what I do for take out is get a plain cheese, then add whatever I want on it when I get home. Coupons can help too...sometime you get the 'upgrade' at no additional charge. Best option? Go when some one else is buying...lol. [catdla1]
i usually just get di giornio's or frechetta pizza at the store. it's 12 dollars cheaper,and to be honest tastes better than our local pizza which has gone up in price.then i just add whatever onto it at home. the last i ordered out cost $27 for two,and both were burnt.no more. [scarlet_woman]
For us when it comes to Pizza, it has to be Quality. I am very picky most of the time, and if I am going to pay $$ for a Pizza to take home, it had better be Good. My favorite from Pizza Hut lately though is the Stuffed Crust with Sausage, Mushroom and Pineapple, and just thinking about one makes me want one tonight. Pizza is Very Good once in a while for sure. [KrauseHome]
I do not like Domino's pizza it is the cheapest pizza in town but the worst tasting. Yes when I can afford it I do pay more for a better tasting pizza. I do love super supreme from pizza hut with pan crust. YUM. [teapotmommommerced]
All this actually depends on weather you want a really tasty meal or not. Well actually life is very short. You maybe alive today but dead the next day so enjoy it to the max. Don't mind the couple of bucks, its worth it. Enjoy... [uglylizard]
When I order pizza I go for the extras even if it costs a little more. Why try to save a few dollars for something that doesn't taste as good as the more expensive one? I'd rather eat something I liked and pay more for, than something cheaper that tasted cheaper. Like you said, you get what you pay for, quality wise. My husbands always telling me that..haha. [walijo2008]
Yes it's true. If I want to buy for the whole family, I'd surely go for a 13". Now they have the Cheesy Lava 3 stuffed crust pizza, and I will like to have super supreme. With the bigger sizes, you get more toppings and the overall taste is so much better than you would expect from a smaller size. I might also add in some meatballs. [naka75]
