We used to do once a week, but lately I haven't felt like making it, and we still aren't going out much. Plus, if I'm too lazy to make it, I'm also too lazy to go get the car, drive to one of the mediocre places miles away and then drive back home with a pie that's cold by the time I get home.
frozen grocery store pizza 1x per week, deluxe (like Blaze Pizza) 1x per month. Since Blaze was one of the only places to stay OPEN during the Pandemic, it's one of the only food apps on my tablet. And I DO eat the whole thing by myself - 11 inches, 6 slices, 6+ toppings, its only $9.95
I dont like super cheap greazy pizza like Little Caesars. If I hold the pizza at a 90' angle and it drips orange grease, I dont want to eat it. If its Chicago Deep Dish, so thick you have eat it with a fork like a calzone or lasagne that's "one slice" territory.
I strongly dislike the old dominant-chain pizzas like PizzaHut, Dominos, Straw Hat because if you walked in and tried to order a 7-topping pizza, they'd tell you that will be $32.99 and their ovens are not setup to effectively cook a pizza with 7 toppings - the moisture content will result a mushy pizza STEAMED in the middle.
I love Blaze because it is made exactly how I want it, jabbing my fat finger into the glass just like Subway and approving each step along the way - And I can mumble "more black olives, por favor" and they dont bark "that'll be an extra $1.30!"
If pizza is a Sin, then I am a Sinner. I try not to Sin too often, but it feels good when I do.
How often do most people eat pizza?
Is once a week too much?
It depends what you mean by pizza.
I make my own once a week, using top quality ingredients, including the yeast which I make with my own hands from flour and water.
My family has not eaten big-box or restaurant or frozen pizza in about three years and I have no intention of letting them do so for as long as I am alive.
I have never been able to make my homemade pizza taste anywhere near as good as my favorite local pizzas. I would love to be able to master this skill, but so far, no luck.
My local Market Basket sells a gigantic one-topping pizza (18") for $10.99 (I get pepperoni). I usually add mushrooms, onions, fresh tomato, and extra sauce to it, and get it half-baked as they tend to over-cook it (then I bake it on my pizza stone in a 500-degree oven). It is delicious and lasts me several days because it's so huge.
Sometimes if I am feeling virtuous () I'll order a pizza with half the cheese but extra tomato sauce. I really like it that way too.
Oh, typically I order one once a month ... but sometimes I order one once a week, and when it's a Market Basket pizza, that means I'm eating pizza on average every other day ...

Oh, and if anyone has a foolproof recipe, please let me know!
It really does matter what you consider "pizza." I can eat the L'il Caesar type, but it is not my preferred. Mine are better than those I've eaten out (Don't even get me started on that California Kitchen burnt cardboard with smokey expensive toppings crap) but I'm STILL not satisfied with what I make.
I remember years ago at the drive in theatre our pizza crusts came in frozen, supplied by the mob. Back then, you made the pizza THEIR way, no exceptions. Ever. If you deviated, it was truly bad for your health.
