If they're only charging $3.99 for a pizza, how good could the ingredients be?

You get what you pay for. That's probably an awful tasting "pizza".

Responses:

it's probably not the ingredients, but the process. Throwing frozen pizzas in an over is pretty cheap to do. - colin Sep 24, 09:56 5
- They're not frozen. They're constantly cranking them out. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 24, 09:57 4
  - they make the dough on site? -- nm - colin Sep 24, 09:58 3
    - Looks like it. I'll likely go today, so I'll see. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 24, 09:59 2
      - I know that back in my days at Pizza Hut the Pan and Thin crust doughs were made on site, and the "hand tossed" came as frozen discs that you had to thaw the day before. -- nm - Ender Sep 24, 10:04
      - ask for a tour of the kitchen.. tell them you're a big fan. -- nm - colin Sep 24, 09:59
Jax, get the feeling were surrounded by pizza snobs :) -- nm - budice Sep 24, 09:54 8
- On the Pizza quality scale, it's on the shitty end, there's no doubt. But for $4, it's edible. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 24, 09:57 6
  - the walmart pizzas are much better and only take a few minutes to bake up. -- nm - colin Sep 24, 10:00 5
    - I actually get an Aldi rising crust pizza that is 3.85 and really good. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 24, 10:01 4
      - costco pizzas.. also excellent. -- nm - colin Sep 24, 10:02 3
        
        Yes, both are really good and cheap. -- nm - spamlet Sep 24, 10:32
        
        oh, and we're getting our first Aldi here! -- nm - colin Sep 24, 10:02 1
        
        it is trial and error there, some stuff is good, and some is not so good. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 24, 10:02
- Yes but it's also that we have taste buds. :-) -- nm - Krusty Sep 24, 09:56
It's better than Dominos if you eat it right away. - JaxSean Sep 24, 09:53 6
- That's not saying much. ;-) - Krusty Sep 24, 09:55
- I would not go that far. - groiny Sep 24, 09:54 4
  - Not for $3.99. I think we paid $10 for a Dominos with 2 toppings. It's horrible. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 24, 09:55 3
    - what kind of crust did you get? - groiny Sep 24, 09:56 2
      - I dunno, probably the hand tossed. It was for my daughter. I had a bite or two. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 24, 09:58 1
        
        yeah, no, give it another shot with the garlic crust. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 24, 10:00
when we have sleep overs for the daughter and her friends, we get this for them. - groiny Sep 24, 09:49 8
- Its $1.99 and youll like it! -- nm - budice Sep 24, 09:53
- Cheapest I'll go is the $5 little ceasar's -- nm - oblique Sep 24, 09:52 2
  - ($3.99 on Tuesdays!) -- nm - JaxSean Sep 24, 09:54 1
    - (any cheese or 1 topping) -- nm - JaxSean Sep 24, 09:54
- Right. It's fine for what it is. -- nm - spamlet Sep 24, 09:52 1
  - the same size pizzas at my good local place would cost me 45 bucks. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 24, 09:54
- I'd give to children and pets. ;-) - Krusty Sep 24, 09:51 1
  - *it* -- nm - Krusty Sep 24, 09:51
