When I can buy like a large 5 top pizza for as much as a single fast food combo, i know which I'll choose.
Pizza is also ridiculously expensive where I live. For something that is comprised of almost entirely dough, cheese, and tomato sauce, it's kind of criminal that some places are charging $20 or more for a large pie. It probably cost them $1.50 worth of ingredients to make when you factor in bulk pricing.
Yeah the rise in pizza prices has been disappointing in my area. Unless you're getting just a plain pie, you're gonna spend at least $20 for like a medium pizza.
There are so many goddamn places around here too, that there has to be like a pizza cartel or something, setting the price lol...
Where I'm at it's definitely very restaurant dependent. Papa Racist's (Papa John's) and Pizza Butt (Pizza Hut) I avoid like the plague because their decisions have been jack up the price and nosedive the quality. Meanwhile Little Ceasar's is doing a $6 lunch combo and most pies I get there are usually $6-10.
I get it it's Little Ceasar's, but I got one thing to say to the LC haters
lmao true, I think Little Ceasars is actually good for the value. The $5 hot and ready box was an almost unbeatable deal.
I really prefer Domino's, but their prices are outrageous so I don't go there anymore. If I'm going to pay a shitload of money for pizza, I get a whole New York Style pizza so I can really enjoy it. Might start making my own now though, tbh. How hard could it be?
Really it's not that hard, I've started making it myself. Hardest part is getting ingredients together and following recipe for the dough. Literally just flour, a packet of yeast, water, oil, a few other common items most kitchens should already have if you cook other stuff. Then the pizza sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni which I already buy made from the grocery store.
Check chatgpt for recipe suggestions, figure out how much dough you need and scale the recipe accordingly, make it and go. Compared to LC I'm barely breaking even though, their deal is just too good lol. But outside of that it's fun to make at home and I prefer that now over frozen pizzas.
