Mark was asking earlier about cooking papa murphys pizzas on the BGE...well it reminded me with my first EGGperience with Papa's pizza.

I was very late in getting home from work one night and wanted to go to the gym too. So I did and by then it was pushing 8 pm so I stopped in Papa Murphys for pizza thinking it would be nice to 'have somone else' cook dinner since it was so late.

I ordered up my pizza, paid, watched them make it and then watched them wrap it in plastic and as they handed it to me I said, like an idiot, aren't you going to cook it for me? His reply, we don't have ovens...I fired right back, for $12 this thing should be cooked...I had NO IDEA IN THE WORLD that this was a carry out, cook it yourself pizza place, had never heard of them before.

Embarrassed I drove home fired up the egg and cooked my pizza (about 9:30 that night. Oh well. I guess I missed the invention of carryout cook it yourself pizza.

    Hard for me to get a grip on it as well. I thought this was the whole reason for going out. You don't want to cook. Hard for me to buy one for 12 I have to cook when dominos sells larges here for 5.99 all day everyday. Several people at work say they are great. Just cant make myself do it. :unsure:

    They are not great; they are exactly what you would think they are...overpriced and with about a third the ingredients you would put on one you make at home. Frankly they have less ingredients than some I have bought out at restaurants even. I don't understand the business model and I don't see a line of cars out their door.

    However, the unit price (cost) of pizza about ten years ago for Domino's was about $1.50 of which $.33 was the box and advertising, so maybe the model works with those kinds of margins. Not great, average at best; add in the cooking hastle and it's not worth stopping in to buy. My Two Cents...

    Tony,

    Thanks for that info. With the talk it gets here I would have walked right into one for lunch when I am travelling.
