With covid, pizza places stopped cooking their pizzas fully. We get a soggy mess, with a soft crust, and way too much cheese every time. On top of that you’re still waiting for the delivery on a route of x other pizzas. It’s faster and better to just pick it up yourself. And then you can check it and tell them to cook it properly when they inevitably don’t cook it all the way through.
This is more of a problem with the pizza places around you and I’m sorry they’re doing your area so dirty :(
But across 3 states for me, the pizza places you expect their quality to be is the quality I’ve generally gotten (like little Caesars is bottom tier and then local good places are top tier etc)
I hope your pizza joints get their head out of their asses so you can get good pizza delivered again lol
I really don’t think it’s my area. I’ve traveled all around the world the past few years, three countries in Europe, two coasts of Mexico, Belize, Honduras, and 9+ different US states. After Covid every pizza place just stopped cooking their pizza as long. Don’t get me wrong! The flavor is still fantastic at all my local pizza joints and the high end pizza places I’ve tried elsewhere. But they’re cutting corners with cook time, even if you tell them well done. And it started with Covid and raising prices because they could. They were selling more than they could cook so they normalized short cook times and people got ok with it. Except me and my wife. We’re like the only people that noticed this crazy decline in pizza quality.
I do. Every time. They still barely cook it. Which is why going in to pick it up is still better, cause i can see and tell them to fix it which you can’t really when it’s delivery.
