One of the things that amazes me out here is how cheap the pizza from Dominoes and Pizza Hut is. I can get a large pizza of any variety for $4.95 collect, from either place just up the road!
The cheapest we got them for in the Uk was £8.99 each. A bit of a difference eh?

Needless to say we don't buy frozen ones anyone. Instead we make a regular weekend visit and buy 3 pizzas which we take to the beach and eat. It is a hard life out here

Also I can get 5 pieces of Cod and chips for $16.95 from my local chippy. I nearly choked as we used to pay over £5 each in blighty.
Eating out is a breeze here and the choice of picnic areas to eat is fantastic.

Agreed the pizza is absolute quality value, but the chips are pants! (in my opinion).

Oh yuk, the 5 buck pizza, cheap and nasty, big slab of dough with cooking cheese not even mozzarella, plus you can rub shoulders with all the povvys in bare feet queing up "for a feed". Gross

The eagle boys pizza at Maroochydore (next to a real estate) has the no parking sign outside graffiti sprayed with No fat chicks instead of No parking, love it

When is Pizza back on by the way? Now that is a funny OZ (well lebbo) show.

Ah true, but soon we are to receive a fridge magnet telling us to eat healthily, the burden of the lard diet is killing the health system. Throw out your pizza magnets and pray the price of lettuce comes down

No worries. Next time, instead of groping around amongst the crush of hairy feet and cattle dogs, ask. Povvy feet are monocle friendly.
