As stated above you get more than just pizza at Mama Melrose when doing the FDP.
There is a large salad for the family to share, flat bread(1 for every 4 people), an entree each, and a choice of either cheese cake or tiramisu for dessert(again, 1 per person).
I definitely preferred doing it the old way, not so much to save money, but to spend money on what I wanted. We would usually get a few drinks, Id have a casar salad and flatbread and DH would get an entree. We really dont care for the salad they give you with the package, its that leafy kind of greens, and you dont have a choice to get the Caesar instead(next time Im going to see if we can substitute though), so that was a waste for us. Plus we are so full after a meal, we would prefer to skip dessert and maybe get an icecream later on in the night. We basically just picked at the desserts as good as they were. I felt we really wasted money and food doing it this way. In fact when we went back in Dec we skipped the package all together, but still ate there and it was great. Im debating whether to do the package or not in July. Either way we will eat there.
