How dare you say such mean things about pizza. 😢 Chicago style pizza is so good. We had a Pizzeria Uno close to my university and and they would even bill to our student account. Such good memories.

I'm not a big fried chicken fan but I can't imagine not being laid out in the ICU from sodium shock if I tried to eat a whole bucket. The thought makes me feel ill. Now, the ice cream is another story. Pints are a single serving as far as I'm concerned.

I love Chicago pizza and pizza.
it is possible to buy deep dish while eating a controlled portion. Ultimately it’s the consumer’s choice and responsibility about how to eat within their health limits (or as I say in the Omni housing thread, buying within budget) :-)
I used to buy a basic-sized $1 donut and eat half while sharing or tossing the other half.

For you deep dish Chicago pizza lovers....this looks like a good deal + free shipping.

$89 for 5 pizzas from ginos east is great. Thanks for linking!

where would one store them??? :-)
I assume one needs storage for 3 of the pizzas.

Safeway had a $1.97 promo for frozen pizza and it was too large for my freezer even if I had nothing in the freezer. 16” or 18” pie. Too big for red retro. Still struggling to imagine where or how I could store it. I was tempted lol

That's why I am passing along the info rather than buying. Storage--even though I have been thawing and eating from the freezer as much as I can. Are you actually eating stuff in your freezer to make some space? What happened to all that flour etc that you bought and were storing in the freezer? I bet you could find some room if you cooked up some of the stuff in there.
I can't imagine that $1.97 safeway pizza is worth taking up space in the freezer though. There is no reason IMO to buy crap pizza no matter what the price or storage issue. . But if you are determined you could always cut it through the middle so you would have 2 halves in separate freezer bags and much easier to fit. Or just buy it and cook it instead of storing it.

Argh this is a great idea. I should have asked a month ago as sale ended.
you are all so smart here.
that said, I now am more capable of just making my own pepperoni pizza. So happy!!!! Big yay.

yet for those with space, this Gino east is a great idea.

Gino’s pizzas are 9” in diameter, about the same as Lou Malnati’s. They weigh a little more, 32 ounces each.

So not even close to 16 or 18 inches.

Firecakes, a place I go to at least once every chicago visit had a sign up in their store last weekend when I was there that they are part of goldbelly now. They want $69 for a dozen and you can't chose the type and they probably won't be as fresh coming the next day.

As much as I love their donuts this is a very easy pass.

$69 for a dozen donuts that are at least a day or so old? no way.

donuts are definitely essential for fresh, at any quality.

I caved and ordered Gino's East. With my monthly $20 AmEx restaurant credit, it comes to $13.80 per pizza. Due to ship 6/21.

I’ve placed two orders to take advantage of the $50 off $100 Amex offer. The Smoked Hot Links + Pork + Lamb Rib Pack
From Davila's BBQ arrived at defrosted fridge temperature, with a few gel ice packs in the box. The food was just ok, honestly not as good as the ribs I make myself, not nearly as good as the best ribs I can buy locally. I paid about $70 total, and I don’t think it was worth the money, or the carbon burned to ship it to me.

My second order was Wagyu Manhattan Filet Steak - 2 Pack from Westholme Wagyu. I paid $90 after the offer. The two small (6oz) steaks came in a large styrofoam crate with dry ice, and were still frozen solid. I haven’t cooked them yet, but they look great, with tons of marbling. They’re very expensive but I think if you want to splurge on a luxury item they might be a decent value.

i don’t think I’m going to use the offer the third time.

If you like Cheesecake Junior's has a deal where you get a free cheesecake with the purchase of a lot of other cheesecakes.

If you think you'll want to order in the future do what I did and just buy a gift card. I bought three $100 gift cards. With Chase payyourself back, I've been ordering a lot from Goldbelly since it qualifies as a grocery purchase and I Have a ton of chase points and I'll just use the Goldbelly gift cards after payyourself back ends.

Enjoy the Wagyu! Costco also sells one Wagyu A5 for $100/pound. You might enjoy it??

Looking to send my Aunt a tasty housewarming gift and went down the Goldbelly rabbit hole. She loves Paris so I thought of just going for some macarons, but also considered a nice fruity cake. Anyone get an especially good cake, tart, something like that?
