Pizza delivery

A pizza from the freezer is not at all comparable to a freshly cooked pizza. All of the big chain pizza stores do loads of offers - people rarely pay full whack for a pizza from them.
It’s their money - they’re free to spend it how they choose no matter how it was received - like it or not.
With lockdown etc… We get 2-3 takeaways a week here … something from the pizza shop, a Nando’s and normally an Indian … roughly £80/week … we previously ate out most weekends so it’s all equal really.
Pizzas are fantastic if knocked up at home. The secret with them is that less is more. Commercial pizzas are so overladen and thick that, to my taste, they are inedible.
Best pizzas in this house are some home made dough (the bread machine has a setting), a can of Italian tomatoes blended up, and a little cheese and basil. A splash of olive oil. All very sparsely applied. I bet you could easily beat £2 a head with that method.
I have also had loads of fun making pasta from scratch with my grand daughter. Hand mixing the dough if always great for kids, and she loves turning the handle on the pasta machine. Again, it costs pennies and tastes so much better - even a seven year old notices the difference!

Op, you’re in a tiny, tiny minority of people who have never had a pizza delivered. Any issue you have with this simple process is entirely bizarre, I really don’t understand your issue?! 
I don’t particularly like any of the chain pizza delivery places, but we still indulge once or twice a year.

The OP’s issue is that it was ordered by someone who spent most of their life on benefits.
This always amuses me as well. Someone with high paying job doesn’t understand why the person on benefits isn’t intelligent enough not to spend all their money on pizza and should knock up home made meals instead.In general, if they were that intelligent, they wouldn’t be on benefits (sweeping generalisation I know).
OP, pizza is delicious, you’re missing out. A takeaway pizza and a fresh Italian style pizza from a wood fired oven are completely different things and shouldn’t be compared. Just because they’re both called pizza doesn’t mean they’re the same thing.
I don't think I've ever paid full price for a Dominos order. I prefer the small pizza place down the road, but I agree, for a really good home cooked pizza, you need to be making your own dough etc.
Some of the frozen options are not bad, particularly where they have a sourdough base.
But sounds like OP has never had anything except cheap rubbish, and so assumes that's what all pizza is like.
