It's ~$7300. Obviously you could get pizza cheaper, but as a splurge this is a nice car payment.

How cheap is a Dominoes pizza in America? In the UK it's far more expensive than a normal pizza/burger/kebab shop, and normally more expensive than a restaurant pizza.

Second to the bottom when it comes to pizza. Only little Caesars is cheaper (and worse)

I don't consider dominos pizza. It's a form of fast food.

Carryout coupon for a large 3 topping is $9.99. Delivered is usually more for the pizza plus delivery fee. Back when this guy was ordering, I think he only got 1 pizza so like $15 a night.

Where I am in the US, Domino’s is generally cheaper than your mom and pop pizza place. That generally goes for the other big boys in the industry too (Papa John’s, Pizza Hut, Little Caesar's, etc.) A pizza at one of these places can cost you between $7-$20 on average for your simple pepperoni pizza, and this includes large pizzas too.

Whereas most local mom and pop shops near me want $30+ for any of their pizzas, even “personal” sized which are much smaller pizzas.

And I’m just talking carry outs. Delivery adds an additional $10-$20 for delivery charge + tip.

Not even nice. $7300 is a shitbox in the modern auto world.

Car payment. 7300 / 12.

Your math is way off, that's like 2 years of pizza unless you're somehow paying $2 per pizza. 1 pizza a day at $10 for a year would be $3,650, so a decade would be $36,500. And that doesn't even factor in delivery or tip....
