Round Table Pizza just keeps getting more expensive.

I believe it was the eve of New Year's Eve, and I ordered an extra large King Arthur's Supreme. Thirty-eight freakin' bucks! Thankfully I found an $8 off coupon and signed up for their rewards program to get six free bread twists, so $30 for the extra large with twists was a much better deal. Came out to about $10/meal for me instead of what else I would've done (I can just about down one of those pizzas in one meal but I likely would've spread it out into two). It's darn good, though.

Does anyone else's Costco still not do combo for their pizza? This has been the case since COVID. I guess their toppings supplier ain't supplyin' anymore, or maybe this is just how it's going to be in the future.

Round Table is the best "readily" available chain pizza though. Just very expensive. Every so often they'll have some code but usually when I have a free pizza-eating day, I opt for Round Table. It just is expensive. The other day I was pricing out a Papa John's the other and my order was gonna come out to like $30. Absolutely absurd. Unfortunately it's just the case at the moment.

And Costco doesn't do combos at the moment. Every so often I'll see people on the Costco subreddit talk about it.

tbh I never buy chain pizza unless I have a promo code. Not paying 15$ a pizza.

There's a non-chain around me that's like 30 bucks a pizza. At the very least. It's insane. Really tasty but comically expensive even before Corona/current times.

Another place has a good deal that we enjoy but haven't gone in a while due to diets and carryout there is a pain in the ***. It used to be 2 larges for 16 bucks. Each topping is 2 on top. Doubt that deal is around anymore anyway.

Back in the day I use to clean up at Papa Johns. When the Marlins or Heat did whatever, you could get 50% off pizza or something like that .


Most of the local places here have the 2 for 18-20 deal. I'd rather support them tbh.

I feel like promos are their regular prices since the promos are around for 80% of the time.

It's good and bad. Good because you're not paying much, but bad because by comparison it makes a pizza for the "regular" price anywhere else seem real overpriced. I mean they are, but still.

plus a chain is never going to let you make you're own pie but I could see an independent 'mom-n-pop' type deal giving you the dough, the sauce, the cheese, you pound it, you flip it, you toss it up into the air. you put your toppings on and you slide it in the oven! except cucumbers. you can't put cucumbers on a pizza. that's not a pizza. on this issue there can be no debate


then they should also charge less if you make it yourself.

I get people do it for the convenience, but for the price of those kinds of pizzas, you can just buy the premade dough and do it yourself.

Only "annoying"/time consuming part is really just rolling out the dough. The actual toppings and putting everything together/baking is the easy part.

From my experience, 1 ball of dough could get you 2 medium pizzas.

Yes, but we cannot give people the right to choose any topping they want.

Papa Johns used to something similar for the WFT about 10 years ago where the day after a game, you can get a large pizza for 9.99 and a free topping for every TD they score and if they win, then it doubles.

That was such a clutch deal and wished they would’ve kept it. Nowadays if I don’t see any specials I’m crazy about on their app, I’ll just Google search any promo codes they have for the month.

They used to give, iirc, 50% off the day after a Texans win. These days, that is pointless.

I worked at PJ’s during those times. That deal popped off on the slower Monday or Tuesday. People knew about it and used it regularly. So of course it had to go, lol. Nah, I believe Pizza Hut took over as official NFL sponsor so it went away then.
