Dominos and Pizza Hut are pretty bad. Some frozen pizzas are acceptable, but the "fancy" ones are really just fancy in price. Regional brands are ok, national ones suck.
Some areas have shitty choice for pizza. Here there's one place, and their service is so bad no one eats there. Last city I lived in, the only good choice was Godfather's. One joint was 1 mile away, but couldn't figure out how to deliver a hot pizza. Doordash ruined pizza delivery.

I personally love the home run inn cheese pizza. The crust is really good for a frozen pizza and I can get them in a small size. Their pepperoni sucks ass though. How do you fuck up the taste of a pepperoni?

Ordered Papa Johns the other night (edit: ordered through papas site) and even they were using doordash. Took 10 minutes to make and another hour to show up. The tracker showed the driver make stops at Hardees, a Mexican restaurant, and 3 different houses before he showed up at mine. Was infuriating.

The whole concept of Door Dash is insane to me. Especially when you see people posting receipts for their $30 burrito after the delivery fee. Doesn't matter for me though since I live 50 miles from any restaurants so no one is delivering to me anyway.

if it's 15m out, then i'll gladly tip 15$ for delivery, cuz thats 15m both ways so living here all the good food is towards nashville anyway so my total drive time would be 1hr
i won't be using doordash or grubhub, usually it's ubereats, eats doesn't "usually" upcharge their menu prices (all dd and gh prices are jacked 10%-20% more) and you usually have a coupon thats like $15 off a 50$ order which takes care of deliver fee and "other fees"
so for me it's not worth 1hr of driving

There was a tiny subset where DoorDash made sense originally, like 3% of circumstances. But as people have pointed out there are entire segments of the industry that have eliminated their own delivery systems and now entirely outsource to DoorDash. The person delivering your food is no longer an employee of where your food comes from, they perform a marked package pick-up and would have no idea if something is missing or wrong beyond a simple drink and box count from the receipt.
Random people who would not even be hired by FedEx now handle "fresh" food product deliveries through a system that mandates the least amount of checks for correctness and as much pass-the-buck accountability as possible. Plus you pay more for it and get it slower.

It was ok in one place I lived, and at the start of covid. Sudden influx of a lot of other workers displaced by close downs. Usually got orders in 15-ish minutes. Sometimes less. That all went away when people went back to work, and all that was left for Doordash were people completely unemployable anywhere else. Real scum of the Earth. Had a few orders simply go missing. Drivers quit in middle of delivering. Orders late, cold food. Last order was almost 3 years ago. Incomplete order, Doordash didn't care.
Aside from the price, it added two other layers of Don't Give A Fuck on top of a service industry where Not Giving A Fuck is Job #1.
The DD system is broken. Tips and pay should be hidden from the driver. You deliver what you are assigned, or you find a different job. As it is now, it rewards shitty behavior for people who have nothing other than shitty behavior.
Grocery stores used to have their own drivers, now it is all Doordash or some other garbage.

I just don't order from places that use DD. Makes that really simple for me. I live in a fairly packed part of Denver And have all fast food options within 5 min, so no point in getting any of it delivered. Same with any meat/dairy/bread I get from the grocery store. Have 2 King Soopers/Krogers within 2 miles of me. Anything boxed/canned/packaged I get from Amazon now.

I agree. Paying someone to deliver food is fucking pathetic and lazy. Get off your ass and get your own food or learn to make shit yourself. Stop pissing money away on a delivery fee among all the other bullshit. Food shouldn't make up 90% of your total take home earnings.

Back in the day, delivery was only for the weekends when the family was all home and Dad wanted to splurge on pizza. Now you have faggots that think they're so special that they deserve getting lattes delivered straight to their hands on the daily. Then in 20-30 years they'll be crying how they don't have any money saved for retirement and how 90% of their wages go to rent/food.

... and fuck em. People that financially irresponsible deserve the death they create for themselves, which is usually an improvement from the life they created for themselves.

So I don't usually eat fast food anymore. I have my own chicken sandwiches that I make with sous vide chicken thigh & chibatta bread for my work lunch meals. I'll make 16 at a shot and just freeze them until the day I eat one. Then over the weekend I'll have lunch with the kids, which is usually making P&J sandwiches or a cup of cambells soup. Anyway, I felt like going to Popeyes for lunch today. I was the first (and only) person in line, so I was able to order instantly. Then I used the restroom. Some 15 minutes later, my meal still wasn't ready, yet at LEAST 6 delivery drivers came to pick up orders and left while I was still waiting for my meal. The girl behind the counter felt bad that I was just standing there waiting, so she gave me a free apple pie. Yeah, having every single restaurant attached to a delivery app is bullshit, but it's a way for lazy assholes to be employed, I guess. And a way for even lazier assholes to pay for these lazy assholes. I'm sure they're using EBT to purchase their delivery meals in the first place.
