Cheese, Lamppost, Little Cesar's). I haven't heard their commercials but I wouldn't risk it.<br /><br />Papa John's definitely is the best as far as carryout/delivery goes (I particularly love a sit-down pizza joint in downtown Orange, CA) but we usually get Pizza Hut for parties and stuff. It's $5 each when you buy three. We order online then pick it up.<br /><br />As far as frozen pizzas, I like the ones I find one sale at walmart (they are in an open bin by the food at ours) but I don't remember the brand.Beccahttp://www.becksterslaboratory.com/scfblognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3851322133816062332.post-73664782130070597852010-01-12T07:16:07.361-08:002010-01-12T07:16:07.361-08:00Thanks for the review.

Although, it does cost an arm and a leg there, so it's a good thing it's worth it.carissaadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10966396810773338343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3851322133816062332.post-13600205132926008902010-01-11T19:34:59.438-08:002010-01-11T19:34:59.438-08:00We do Papa John's carryout on Mondays here in ...We do Papa John's carryout on Mondays here in Tucson is $5.99 for a large.

I just looked them up and they're a lot higher than I remember! Now I don't feel so bad about our fave place. Nice to know we're not paying a lot extra (probably not any extra) to patronize a local place. And their pizza is far superior to Papa John's. <br /><br />And thanks for the Domino's review. We've never been a huge fan of the pizza taste-wise, but we were sort of wondering what we were missing when we saw an ad for the new pizza. <br /><br />Thanks also for the "commendation". You never know ;) My husband and I went vegan 2 months ago as an experiment, you might say. We knew we should be getting more veggies into our diet for health reasons and figured this would force us to. I don't think either of thought we'd really do it this long. I thought we'd make it a week since hubby was Mr. Carnivore. But even just after a week we felt a lot better (even me who didn't eat a lot of meat). Both of us are less fatigued and I'm find that I recover from exercise a lot better now. That, combined with environmental and animal welfare reasons has led us to the point where we really hope to do this long term. <br /><br />And it's not as bad as one might think. We're really enjoyed vegan cuisine and found that we preferred a lot of the alternatives to meat, eggs, and dairy. But we're lucky to have some vegan-friendly restaurants and grocery stores. It would have been much, much harder without having sources for vegan pizza and ice cream.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10618960384664890953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3851322133816062332.post-75826933489674559272010-01-11T18:57:56.415-08:002010-01-11T18:57:56.415-08:00John,

I think it's the latter that lures frugal folks in. Because we figure that it's a safe bet. I think in this case, though, Domino's is banking mediocrity. People won't necessary love the pizza but they won't hate it enough to ask for the money back.<br /><br />Meg,<br /><br />Yeah, unfortunately, Papa John's isn't much cheaper than what you quoted. I'm glad you found a place that can cater to your specialized diet, though. I commend you going vegan. It's not something I think I could ever maintain long-term.Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12043674506776005070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3851322133816062332.post-50805172443335115722010-01-11T17:39:12.777-08:002010-01-11T17:39:12.777-08:00Thought you meant the money back guaranty if you d...Thought you meant the money back guaranty if you didn't like hte pizza.

And there i...Good ingredients do make better pizza. And there is such a spectrum when it comes to pizza! My husband lived off of cheap pizza in college, but nowadays we either make it at home or, when we do go out for pizza, wait till we have the money in the budget to go to our favorite local pizza place (which we appreciate even more since going vegan since they have vegan cheese as an option). <br /><br />And if you think Papa John's is pricey, you should see the prices at our fave place! A regular medium with four toppings is $18, plus a bit extra for vegan cheese -- which is why we wait for special occasions or extreme cravings. Thank goodness for toaster pizzas, though, because we have pizza rather often. <br /><br />Personal fave toppings: banana peppers, spinach, carrots, and extra garlic :D Ricotta is also yummy on top, but they don't have vegan ricotta at our fave place, just at home.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10618960384664890953noreply@blogger.com
