If you're poor enough to need to pay for pizza in installments, you don't need to get it delivered to your doorstep. Walk out and get it.

(Unless it's too dangerous to walk the streets in the US now idk)

    walking to get a pizza only works for maybe 2% of statesians, and those areas have costs of living that functionally prevent the poor from living there. do you suggest the actually poor statesians do? their butlers won't grab it for them

    These things go hand in hand, the biggest reason to pay the large premium on prepared food is that it solves logistical problems, which you will likely have more of if you suffer from poverty. I started the dough to make pizza half an hour ago which is going to end up as several very inexpensive meals, but I had a childhood where I was shown how to make pizza, I have a kitchen to myself, a relaxed day where I have plenty of time and energy to prepare food, and enough financial stability and space for planning to buy all the ingredients at once in advance in bulk quantities. I've known people who went into debt to buy pizza, and they lacked all of these things.

    Much cheaper to make your own pizza. Gone for years without ordering a takeaway as I don't really see the appeal of them. Overpriced food that will probably give you cancer? Pass.
