Well, guess I'm done ordering from there now.
I expect I'll never use door dash or similar services. The quality is so low and the price is so high.
If I had to get something delivered, it'd be a pizza. Well, you know, one that still has its own drivers.
As a former Pizza Hut/Papa John's/Marco's/Hungry Howie's driver, totally fine with this. Food delivery drivers are typically underpaid, especially considering how expensive cars are.
I kinda want to say that delivery services are charging what delivery should cost to compensate drivers fairly, but I don't know how much of the customer pays go to the drivers and how much the delivery service keeps. I wouldn't mind the upcharge on menu items if the driver got paid well.
The price is high and the person doing the work is paid barely any of it - the tip is where most of the money comes from for them.
Why were you ordering from them to begin with? They're pretty trash pizza
Sometimes you just want a crappy pan pizza
Can't say that I do
You've never thought to yourself "fuck, I want a taco bell taco/burrito" or "I could really go for just a cheeseburger from burger king/mcd/wendys" or something like that?
None of it is "good" food, but sometimes that doesn't matter. I could make my own double bacon cheeseburger with seasonings and perfectly toasted brioche buns. But every so often, I just want a shitty fast food burger that I didn't have to put effort into.
Seconding this. I like good food, sure. I like bad food too, and I don't care what other people think about that.
But why when I can get an actually good one from another restaurant? Can't say I've ever actually wanted to get taco bell except when others are already ordering from there.
I like their pasta and breadsticks
Their pasta is really the highlight. Don't know how they managed to make it so much better than the pizza.
Damnit, you're making me consider trying it...but it's just pasta...
