    You’d still pay the DoorDash price. If you ordered directly then went and got it you’d pay the restaurant price. Lots of places mark up to offset DoorDash’s take, whoch is steep.

      Are you sure? Look at the delivery charge from the restaurant. $3.99.

      The total is still almost 3 dollars cheaper than going through DoorDash.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        I did not. I’m surprised DoorDash allows that.

          And, when you click on the "view menu" link, it takes you to the standard page that you see with regular doordash.

          They're identical, other than the prices.

            Yeah, I am aware of one other place that marks up the prices for third party delivery orders, on top of the delivery charge that is a separate line item.

                George I’m glad you made a spreadsheet / table for this!

                Maybe I’m out of the loop but I’ve used Uber eats only once, because we got a gift card for it. It was convenient but for some reason I never never never remember about door dash or other food delivery options when we are thinking about dinner. We order pizza once a week but that uses an old school employed pizza dude, whom we’ve gotten to know lol. It’s nice.

                    Same here. We had the same guy, Emil, for about 10 years. Then there was a fire that destroyed the place - "Doctor Pizza - We make house calls!"

                    Miss that place - great thin crust pizza.

                      Nope. Don t eat too much pizza. DOnt like too much cheese. When I do eat pizza, normally just go to the restaurant and either carry out or eat in.
