Banish Takeaway Pizza Regret

Takeaway food is now a big part of life for many people in the UK. A whopping 31% of the population order at least one takeaway per week, a figure that rises to a staggering 58% in London!

And the pizza portion of the takeaway market is big business. Dominos Pizza is the market leader, selling well over 100 million pizzas a year to UK consumers. A huge number!

If you’re one of those people that has food delivered straight to your door on a regular basis, then you’ll be familiar with how easy it is to do. There are a multitude of apps that cater to every taste and make it a breeze to order when you’re feeling hungry at the end of a long day.

So, takeaway food is popular, but does it always represent value for money?

A recent scientific study on consumer behaviour suggests not.

The survey of UK households revealed that an enormous 53% of people who purchased a takeaway went on to regret it. In other words, more than half of people who order takeaway wish they hadn’t!

Of those studied, the most common causes of takeaway regret were:

•    It wasn’t as good as expected.
•    An advert enticed me to buy but on reflection I didn’t want to purchase.
•    I couldn’t afford it but bought it anyway.
•    Health concerns (I should have eaten something healthier rather than giving in to takeaway).

Pizza is the most ordered food in the UK from takeaways and restaurants, and with good reason. It’s a highly profitable product, and businesses have become very adept at tempting you into buying that expensive takeaway pizza and making it super easy to part with your hard-earned cash.
