How To Save Money On Pizza

Use Coupons: Most pizza outlets distribute coupons that can save you money. These coupons can be found in numerous places: newspaper inserts, mailings, telephone books, coupon books, etc.

Specials: Ordering specials rather than individually will usually save you money. Pizza shops often have a recurring special on a certain day of the week so get to know the schedules of your local shops.

Internet: Sometimes there are specials online that aren't available through phone-in orders. Always check the pizza store's website before you order.

Pick-up: Instead of having to tip the delivery driver a couple bucks, go pick up the pizza yourself. However, if you live quite a distance to pick up the pizza, it may actually be cheaper to have it delivered than having to drive both ways.

Homemade: Make it yourself. This allows you to put exactly what you want on it and you know the quality of the toppings on the pizza.

- Totally Homemade: Make dough from scratch by hand or, if you have one, use a bread machine. Add sauce and toppings of your choice.

- Semi-homemade: Buy ready made dough balls or prepared crusts at the supermarket and just add toppings. Either way, it will still be cheaper and, probably, healthier than ordering out.

Take & Bake: If you don't feel like making it from scratch, you can try take and bake pizzas (at a fraction of the cost of the big franchises). Store bought pizzas are getting to be better and better quality.

Non Typical Outlets: If you're having a big party, consider getting your pizzas at Costco or some similar warehouse store.
