For £8 in the middle of Rome you can get a pizza and a large perioni in a sit down restaurant. Why on earth people pay double that for a takeaway from an industrial unit in Slough I have no idea!
Add the flight into Rome and the Slough option looks reasonable.
I can remember ordereing a pizza in Portland (USA) (think it was Papa Johns?) and collected it, noticed the box was stone cold. Only to be told “sorry sir, we do not cook them, you cook them yourself” and had to persuade the hotel kitchen to cook my pizza!! Which they did.
Who the f
k would want to cook their own pizza!!!

Me. Who the f

Then I know what I'm eating.
And it doesn't cost £18 either.

No, you can get a crap one, a decent one is £22 - £25, but even then overpriced for what it is. I don't know where they get their prices from when a good piece of steak costs about a fiver.
Ever heard of wages, tax, overhead, insurance, rent or heaven forbid profit?Shay HTFC said:
Um, the D and PH pizza down under (in NZ at least) is totally ste and a _completely_ different product to what you get over here. It's hardly gourmet excellence over here, but its crazy that you actually think the two can be compared!!
Its the same quality in Oz as it is here (everything is ste and a _completely_ different product to what you get over here. It's hardly gourmet excellence over here, but its crazy that you actually think the two can be compared!!te in UnZud) but I cant believe people pay £8 a pizza. Then again, in Oz you've got so-called "Gourmet" pizza chains selling Pizzas or A$20 a pop (£13 ish).Wacky Racer said:

I ordered a pizza last week and it came with no cheese.
I called the store and a new one was delivered within 20 minutes.
Why didn’t you just do that?
I always order mine without cheese...hate the stuff.I called the store and a new one was delivered within 20 minutes.
Why didn’t you just do that?
I'd have had it....
how do you order it? i thought cheese was a standard?

Running my own business yes I have, i've also heard of over priced food too.
So how much do you propose they charge given the incredibly poor profits of most hospitality businesses?Walk in price is half online price before 6pm too

So it's actually a proper 'restaurant' (I use the word cautiously!) with tables and chairs?

Haven't seen one here with tables and chairs. In NZ it's purely a takeaway chain and is like something you'd expect to find down a Coventry back street!
However that is besides the point, the food tastes exactly the same. They are passable, but nothing to write home about. They're one of the few chain restaurants/fast food take outs that do taste the same as back in Oz (Nando's is completely different, so is KFC, Burger King is vaguely like Hungry Jacks but not enough, missing Red Rooster more than I should).
If you think there's any difference, I'd say you haven't been back down south in a looooooong time.

Whilst I do feel your pain here , it makes me wonder why anybody would order a pizza if they don't like cheese , akin to a vegetarian ordering a quarterpounder without the .....
Wouldn't surprise me, I've seen people wanting to ask questions about the menu at a Micky D's before."Bunless" burgers used to be popular (not sure if the paleo craze has subsided yet)
Thanks for all of the advice. I have only skimmed over it, but I understand that the recommended course of action is small claims court? I have started proceedings. If there are any decent lawyers reading this who fancy a pro-bono job, my email is open.
Seriously though... I'm still annoyed about PayPal's decision.
I've been buying high value items (even more than a full-price Domino's pizza) using PayPal for years because I felt protected by their reputation of always siding with the buyer. I've never abused it or taken advantage in any way but still felt safe... Now I think I'd be better off using a credit card in future.
