Note I did not buy any food for myself.

To head off questions:

  1. No, I couldn’t cook for her. I’m suffering from a long-term illness where I can’t eat solid foods and am extremely smell sensitive. My wife is at a funeral, so I had to order food.

  2. She’s extremely picky and refused to let me order anything but pizza.

  3. We live outside of town, in a not very big town, with very few pizza delivery options, and they’re all at least this expensive.

  4. No, I didn’t also have to buy her the cheesy bread or the second topping or the sauces, but it’s nice to get my daughter a treat and that is no excuse for the order being that expensive.

  5. We’re in Indiana, so this should be ludicrous in terms of pricing. This used to be the pricing I would expect when we lived in L.A. and ordered from a good local place rather than a chain.

    You don’t have children, do you? She had the option of Pizza, Jimmy John’s, Chinese or nothing. She said no Jimmy John’s or Chinese.

    Edit: I suppose technically I could have used Uber Eats or whatever, but that’s even pricier.

      It’s crazy that you went way out of your way to placate the internet assholes and they still found something to be insufferable about.

          I just take it as an opportunity to block people these days. “You gave your kid pizza so you’re a shit lazy parent and no mitigating factor will be considered” is a pretty clear indicator that they don’t need any openings into my attention span lol.

            Nobody said that? Why make stuff up? People here talk about the pickiness being the issue. Children are picky unless you put the effort in to change that (most of the time, some just eat everything). It just sounded odd the way OP said it. If there were 3 options and the kid chooses one I would not call that picky to begin with.
