We had us some Friday night pizza and it was…surprising.
You know how I said I won’t order things I know I make better myself? Well, pizza definitely falls in that area. Sure, some people do that whole homemade pizza night where kids gather around and build their own pies but this never caught my fancy even when I ate regular pizza. Now that I have to eat a gluten free crust? Well, you can’t pay me enough to attempt that on my own so ordering pizza is still an occasional treat.
I have to admit, I get pretty excited about it. Which is why it’s extra sad when the pizza’s less than thrilling. Which, let’s face it, is often the case with gluten free anyway but I digress.
Last night I did a Domino’s throwback because I have a favorite combination of toppings there and their GF crust isn’t half bad but this week’s version was kinda lukewarm and meh. We have a local place that makes fantastic GF pizza but (like everyone else) it only comes in small and the crust is so flat I can pretty much eat the whole thing in one sitting and nothing’s sadder than watching other people eat leftover pizza when you have none. Sure, I could order two, but I’d have to take out a loan to do it since everyplace on the planet price gouges on gluten free. Ugh.

Gotta have leftover pizza or there’s nothing for breakfast the next morning. LOL Or is that just me?

That is definitely *not* just you. I’m pretty sure next day pizza breakfast of champions is a requirement.

Leftover pizza is the only reason to order pizza in the first place. I vote for ordeing two and skip buying a new car next year.

supposedly they have to gouge to cover the cost of those tiny elves to pluck the gluten from the dough. progress is a beautiful thing with surcharges all over the place.

The pricing is mad here. It’s always exactly double the price of normal versions. And smaller.

UGH. Ours only come in small with a $3-4 surcharge so I guess things could be worse then…

Pizza will eat through savings really quick. I think I was the only freshman in college who didn’t order it every Friday because I just didn’t have the funds.

They really do overcharge on gluten free pizza. I’ve had to buy it for family and feel like they get cheated.

Why do they do overcharge for GF? It’s the same for variations on other items like salt-free Progresso soup. Grrr.

Basically because they can.

I absolutely agree. The surcharge is for “special ingredients” but c’mon, you can’t tell me that isn’t already covered by the ridiculous upcharge already on a dough made of flour, yeast, and water. The day I find a pizza place that doesn’t overcharge me for needing a special diet is the day they get a customer for life.
