Interesting. Dominos in the uk is horribly expensive in comparison.

  This is something i don't get. There's a Papa John near me, on Green Lanes, N4. They charge 18 pounds for a large pizza. On either side of it, there are Turkish restaurants and bakeries where that will buy you an excellent three-course meal with a beer (okay, so the dessert might be the single piece of baklava they throw in at the end). How do they survive?

    I think a large pizza is 2-3 meals easily, so per meal cost is 6-9 pounds. It might be worth it in that sense, as compared to the Turkish places.

      I did the maths, and a large American Hot is 1500 calories. Two meals, perhaps. A few doors down at Harran, you can get a large lamb shish kebab in a box, with rice, salad, bread, chilli sauce, and cacik, for £6.50. And the salad and bread are both really good!

  About 5 years ago, my wife and I were in London on vacation. We'd just gotten to our hotel from the airport, the rain was really coming down, and we opted to stay in. We ordered pizza from...well, I don't remember where, but the quality of the product was certainly chain-like. And the price was several times what I would've paid at home, even for something of a better quality. I think expensive food was just one of the defining traits of London, though.
