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.
