$31.21 including tip and delivery for me in Manhattan. I just priced a random pizza from dominos.com with three ingredients and that came out to $26.38 total, so it sounds like the roulette.pizza prices are a result of them adding a lot of toppings to a pizza (5-6?). You can also get a large pie from a place that's truly excellent (like Joe's Pizza) for less than $30, though I don't know if they deliver.

It's definitely not worth it from a price perspective. The best deal at the moment, if ordered directly from Dominos, appears to be 2 Medium 1-Topping Pizzas, 16 Piece Parmesan Bread Bites, 8 Piece Cinnamon Twists, a 2 Liter of Coke, and a $1 donation to St. Jude for $19.99.

roulette.pizza could use some better price-optimization mechanics, like fewer toppings (it's really diminishing returns past the first few), picking a pre-made pizza randomly, or even being able to randomly order whatever Domino's deal of the moment happens to be, like that St. Jude offer.
