The word you are looking for is piqued.

Except that this is not a grammar error ... (s)he chose the wrong homophone.

Here in the UK there is always a 50% off or better deal for mediums and larges. If you can't find one on the page or from a quick Google ringing the store will get it (only ever had to do this at a friend's in Liverpool)

Might be because pizzas are incredibly overpriced in the UK. Most places they are cheap student food, for $5 you can get a meal. Not in the UK.

In Australia users have created userscripts that will track and share voucher codes and their expiry.

Always 25% off with PapaJohns! Use coupon code 25OFF — it's even valid until December 31, 2017.

Unless you mean how they're generated.

Just like pizza tastes better when you made it yourself, it is sweeter when you were able to code your own working coupon generator.

If pizza tastes better when you make it yourself you don't live in a place that has good pizza.

Nothing prevents you from using good ingredients and practicing till you can generate a really good pizza. The one tool you would have trouble replicating, a really high-temp oven, only counts as important for a limited set of pizzas. And you can take steps to get a high-temp oven, if you want to go all-out.

I've done that and on a good day I can maybe replicate the quality of a good place. Surpassing is not happening.

Then you aren't a very good cook.

I don't think dexterdog is referring to places like Pizza Hut or Papa Johns.

A person who occasionally (let's say once every other month?) cooks themselves a pizza is not going to do a better job at it than a pizza chef (closer to gourmet than fast food) who is making pizzas for 8 hours a day - every day.

Pizza Hut and Papa Johns are to pizza what a Big Mac is to a hamburger.

And it's not just the ingredients and dough. Very few people have an oven capable of cooking a pizza the way it needs to be cooked.

Or, back to my original point, your local places are not good.

I work for Deliveroo, so answering your question is literally my job.

I never made pizza myself, but my girlfriend makes an amazing one. Other information, _The Fold_ is awesome. The two information are unrelated. There is no way I’m getting out of any attempt at conciliating those two facts where I win.

I've read that the real discounts are in calling the location directly and asking about "walk-in specials." The franchisee doesn't have to yield as much revenue to the mothership when you avoid centralized ordering and thus can extend more price flexibility.

For these discount pizza chains, there is usually plenty of coupons floating around - they even accept 'competitor' coupons. You can probably find some if you search for them on the internet.

But as old adage goes, you get what you pay for.

Fancy cheese on toast?

Expensive fancy cheese on toast.

Not that I don't love pizza. But even with 50% off, those prices...

I'm not sure the adage applies here. When using a coupon you get up to 100% more than you paid for, assuming you're using the not at all rare buy one get one free ones.
