You could pay some late night infomercial guru $29.95 for this information, but I'm giving it away for free. Everyone in this country can and should succeed in life.

Save Money by Carrying Out Your Pizza
If you are looking to save a little money, you can call or just pop into your local Pizza and order a pizza for carry out instead of for delivery!
Our local Domino's sells a large 14-inch pizza as a carry-out special for only $8.40. You can't beat that and you can easily skip all the high calorie extras like cinna-sticks and lava cakes. Instead of paying $20 to $30 for a pizza with extras and a tip for the delivery driver, we can eat for less than $10. It's an awesome deal!
