Let's explore the myth of saving money.
You go online and see the price at austinpizza as "12.99". Your mind is now telling you "I can have dinner for 12 dollars". The whole "ninety nine" thing is a crime and would be banned if i were president. It would be my 3rd act after 1)everyone gets a haircut and 2) all minivans are burned beyond recognition. But i digress (i like that word). The reality is:
$13 pizza
$1.50 tax
$2 delivery charge
$2 tip
$3 worthless shit you added on the order like cheese sticks.
$21.50 total
SO.... your 12 dollar meal just turned into 22 dollars.
AND, you will get at best, room temperature food because your driver is 16 years old, has a worthless unreliable car, and has 20 orders ahead of you.
Now that we have the money thing out of the way, let's discuss quality. My hero John Kelso once said "You can't chum for sharks with Papa John's". In case you don't know what this means, "chum" is a bucket of fish guts that you throw out of a boat to attract sharks for killing or something i guess. John is right. Papa's pizza is worse than disgusting. As is Gatti's, Little Caesar's, even austin pizza. Have you ever seen the people that work in the back? don't look because you'll never eat there again.
The alternative? Chef Boy R Dee box pizza!!! Sweet! at this point you are guffawing, but let me tell you something pendejo, this stuff rules. it is exactly the same as 40 years ago. the kit costs 3 dollars. Three dollars. Now, you add a can of mushrooms, a sliced tomato, jalapenos, whatever, and you have a hot, fresh pizza for about 5 dollars TOTAL. Plus, you and your gang get to have some fun together in the kitchen.
Me and my shortie just busted up a cheeseburger chef pizza and it beats the poo out of anything delivered.
that's all i have to say about this.
Papa Murphy's Pizza at Manchaca and Slaughter, next to the HEB we landed at. Of course, you have to pick it up and cook it, but you'll end up with a good hot pie for $12.
