Probably related to the high prices of delivery services. Maybe people wouldn't think about financing a pizza if the cost wasn't tripled by delivery.

I don't use any delivery service, and I can drive 5 minutes over to Little Caesar's and get a pizza for about $6, or I can go to Pizza Hut and pick up a better pizza for about $10. But I hear that other people pay vastly higher prices for their unhealthy fast food when they use delivery services.

Most pizza places offer free delivery. Don't use fucking Uber Eats to order a pizza.

uh, you should check your receipt. at least in my area, no pizza is delivered for free. it's always cheaper to go pick it up.

"Free delivery, with a 15% discount if you pick it up" is a common way to phrase they charge for delivery that plenty of people gloss over.
