I ordered from Domino's for the first time in a LONG time... a medium 3 topping pizza, Cheesy bread and 2 liter Coke... and it was 32$ Does that sound too much?
Keep in mind it's been a while, but not long ago it seems like I got that for right at 20$ because I remember giving them 25$ and letting them keep 5$ as a tip when they delivered |

I haven't ordered from Domino's in a long time myself, as a New Yorker I go to real pizzerias, but I went online as if I was placing a Domino's order.
My local one offers 2 Medium Pizzas w/ Toppings, Cheesy Bread, Cinnamon Twists and 2-Liter Drink for $19.99. Your specific order was roughly the same price as what you paid without the combo offer. |

Here are promos currently offered by Dominos. My family did the 2-or-more deal some time ago with good results; you order 2 of these at $6.99 each and pick up in store. (If their location is nearby, using a little fuel to make a trip there isn't a concern.) You can get four 2-topping pizzas for about $28 plus tax...!
Lots of mixing and matching of toppings with that 2-or-more offer. And leftovers for your fridge. You can really save by picking up, and of course drinks are much less expensive if you buy them from supermarkets ahead of time. Going for specific options a la carte and having delivery will cost you significantly. And that's how these places profit most. |

Everything delivered or picked up since early 2020's destructive time in our lives --- prices are all up. could be less in smaller towns but it's Wildy Increased in Prices....
If you can pick up, you'll save some $$$.... Be smarter, don't buy the drinks and extra breads??? |

I would just get the pizza. You can buy Coke and bread at the store and save money. A pizza should not be much more than $20.

Next time, just order from Little Caesars.
I did a test order on Little Caesars and ordered a round pizza with pepperoni, sausage, and seasoned beef, a 2 liter Pepsi, and an Italian cheese bread, and the subtotal was $18.25, the taxes was $3.49, the service fee was $2.19, and the tip was $3. The total came to $26.93, $4.07 less than the $32 you paid for a similar order from Domino's!

I found this article on why the price of pizza has gone up.
https://www.cnet.com/personal-financ...ust-inflation/ The Price of Pizza Has Gone Up. Here's Why There's more than inflation to blame for the rising price of dough. |

It's really too bad for the business and the "regular" people, so costly NOW. Just the gas the delivery people put in their cars, prices so high.
I have stopped and the frozen pizzas I keep in the freezer are just fine...The lowest price one I buy is about $6 and Ca Pizza Kitchen one runs $10 or so. Works in my life. Just thinking probably most of you buy the self rising dough, I do not, I like ultra thin crust, I'm the only that quit eating breads over 10 yrs ago.....the thicker pizzas can go further for more eating later on or tomorrow or or or.... |

Yeah the $26.93 would have been closer to what I used to pay Dominos lol I always thought Domino's had a reputation for being more reasonable than Pizza Hut, but I can get all that at Pizza Hut for WELL under 30$ |

If the pizza is 20 and the bread is 10 and the soda is 2, yep, that's 32.
