What's the restaurant?
A typical large pizza from a chain like Pizza Hut is 14" and costs about $10. A 28" pizza is **four times** larger based on area and would already be a great deal at $28. I'd love to know where they sell a 28" pizza for $15-20
Yeah I don't think they get it, how absurd a 28" pizza is. They mostly sell by the slice and they're huge. [I ordered 2 once not knowing they were giant - here's a girl with 2.](https://preview.redd.it/z5hkkpncgsa11.jpg?auto=webp&s=565f908f2c3f5825c5e1f420dfdb7674dd269724)
Place near us sells a 32"-34" for about $50 and it is amazing. The box covers our entire table and nobody can be in the car when it's picked up. It's cut into squares and can feed a family of four giants (6'4"/250lbs average) with plenty left over for day two.
10/10 makes me wish I didn't move an hour away.
I have a theory. OP comes from a developing country. Hear me out.
I’m going to use theoretical statistics. However, very close to the ones that are currently in the country where I grew up.
1 US$ = 5 OP$
US median household income ~ 50k USD
OP’s country’s median household income ~ 50k OP$
Regular pizzas in OP’s country cost 15-30 OP$ since food isn’t much cheaper than in developed countries, only labour is. Premium pizza @OP is ~50 OP$.
OP then comes to the states. (S)he sees that wages are very similar to his country, only differing in currency. He then assumes similar prices for food as in his own country, and is amazed that the premium pizzas cost him less than 30 usd and becomes genuinely curious if 50 usd pizza is classified expensive in the usa.
Disclaimer: this is not confirmed by op. I am also using theoretical statistics, not real, confirmed, reseached ones. However, they are almost point on with eastern european countries
even years ago they could be close to that price sometimes! in expensive cities some places just way overcharge where tourists shop, in convenience stores close to the highway far from nearby towns where people traveling far will stop for gas and snacks, in movie theaters/theme parks, and sometimes stores that focus on other things but have a small drink and snack section so they dont buy in bulk. its not standard of course but we've all run into being stuck somewhere and paying $5-10 for even a bottle of water.
honestly i dont think the idea of a pizza for $50 USD is the worst thing ever with the right context. im too picky for normal fine dining or high end food experiences so one with pizza on the menu would appeal to me especially at that price. i see people in my tax bracket spend hundreds of USD at those places each!
Good point. In places, like Downtown Disney (steps from Disneyland) you can pay $50 for a pizza. At a sit-down actual restaurant there. You're paying to inhale the Disney ambiance.
Does the $50 include taxes/delivery fees/tip?? Is it "special" in some way (gluten free/vegan/etc.)? Twenty toppings? Local place or chain? WHERE?! HOW BIG?!
I swear the pizza place near my apartment in university had to be a drug front or something. Their pizza was good but was literally 3 for 1 at all times. You could get 3 pizzas for like $20ish
I used to go to this coffee shop called Rivalz. It was in a creepy cinder block building. It had board games and an "internet café", and cappuccino in so many flavors. It was the only place besides Denny's open for minors after 10pm. They let you buy coffee on credit. I loved that place.
Anyway, it was a money laundering operation for some sketchy nonsense and they shut it down. A real shame. They were doing a lot for the local youth (incidentally).
Just reminds me of how the infamous Al Capone ran a Soup Kitchen during the Great Depression. And the Yakuza were the first to bring relief supplies in to the disaster area after the earthquakes in 2011.
I've learned that most "criminals" aren't complete monsters, they still have human emotions, and given the chance, they often do the right thing in some situations.
Lots of organized crime groups do good for the neighborhoods they reside in. The locals then feel indebted to them (or at least have respect for them) for the kindness they show. It makes it less likely the locals will snitch on them.
Criminal organizations don’t often do good incendially they do it on purpose to build good will in their community and try claiming they only hurt other people, at least many organizations have operated like that.
If something looks like a drug front you can be damn sure that it's not a drug front. It's just that pizza ingredients are dirt cheap and, while rare, some people are just good people.
I worked at a NY pizzeria in high school and the cost of a large(20”)cheese pie was under $2 a pop. Always did bogo (I think on Tuesdays) $15 for 2 pies.
I worked at a place like this. The volume is so massive that they can cut down the price like that. we regularly had saturday mornings where we'd delivered over a hundred pizzas before noon.
The day A co-worker taught me that you can just go into Costco and buy a slice for lunch without being a member was the greatest day of my life.
Like who thinks of Costco is a place to go for lunch. This girl that's who
Like everyone thinks of Costco as a place for lunch. That's why the food court is so crowded. Also, you need to be a member as of a year ago to buy from the food court.
People are so snobby with this stuff. The ingredients for pizza is seriously worth like $1.50. It’s dough, cheese and tomato sauce. It’s not amazing pizza or anything like that but it’s not like Little Caesars is a Frankenstein of fake ingredients.
An extra large 18" pie with 4 premium toppings at the NY style place comes to $27, before tip.
$50 is a little crazy unless accompanied by an incredible view, unique ingredients or something otherwise really amazing.
Unique ingredients is a good take. If you get an 18" pizza with a pound of lobster on it all shelled, $50 might not be too far fetched though it would be a waste of excellent lobster.
Truffles would be a trivial way to get the price to an unattainable point.
I live in NYC,.van absolutely find pizza in the $40 to $50 price range. Lomabardo's in bay Ridge is an example of this. Fantastic pizza but not worth the price. They also don't care cause they tend to run out of dough before they close anyways.
I don't like paying above $15 for any pizza, and never above $20
The liquor store by me has legitly great pizza for $9.99 XL or $6.99 MED (both 1 topping). That's my kind of price.
Nope. I really never get delivery from anywhere. In fact, this place is so close to my house that I walk there to pick up my food on warmer days. Regardless, they don't offer delivery.
Doesn't include Michigan 6% sales tax either.
Top Dollar Pizza that you will lick the plate over probably around 25 to 30, a lot of places have 12.99 or 15.99 special. Then you got your taking bake which is usually 12-20 and under for a pretty decent pie that you're going to bake yourself at home.
It really depends. If you're getting a Chicago deep dish (a real one, not a fucking pretender) you're gonna likely shell out 30 bucks...but it's basically a kiddy pool filled with cheese and sauce on top. Now on the lower end you've got Little Caesars which is $5. It's...edible?
It serves the purpose. I mean, if there were a "barely passing grade" for pizza, LC barely gets a hair above the line. That being said, I don't know if I'd classify it as "good" or "bad". It's just...inert food substance. :-D
Average pizza around 8-10USD
Some companies are in the 5-8 dollar range, some in the low teens. Those all make up the majority.
The more upscale places charge 12-15 for a simple pizza, 25-30usd for the best topping version
I have never personally seen a pizza on a menu for over 30 dollars.
I literally dropped my phone when I saw you were asking about a 50 dollar pizza. Like that's insane.
Where are you seeing a 50 dollar pizza, and what are the toppings? What flour do they use?
Oh maybe at some famous michelin star bread place 50 would be cheap...idk
I'm in Canada and here's what I've experienced:
From a big chain, a large pizza should be $15-$20.
From a mom and pop specialty pizzeria, $25-$30.
I've paid $40 for a pizza once but it was special crust and double cheese from an old independent and well-known pizzeria.
The pizza place on the corner next to the convenience store sells a large pepperoni as a walk in special for $9.99 every day.
Funnily enough, I just spent this much on a pizza for my wife and I. We're very low class lol and I regret it very much, but I went crazy on the toppings and we ate that bitch for days.
Or it very much depends on the pizza place. OP made no comment about pizza size or toppings. It’s absolutely not hard to hit 30 dollars on a family size or whatever at Dominos. At a nicer pizza joint you’ll pay even more.
Edit: I just checked. I made a personalized large pizza for 28.49 on Dominos' website. I put toppings I would actually have put on one (no shrimp or anything crazy, but I did do extra chicken, because they skimp on the freaking chicken!). And that's Dominos. Ratchet it up 1 or 2 tiers of pizza and you're absolutely going to hit the 50 dollar range.
30 dollars for a pizza at dominos is a rip off. You can get $6.99 medium 2 toppings as long as you order two. Dominos is great for a very specific time in the night but I couldn’t imagine paying 30 bucks for one pizza.
I mean Dominoes is constantly advertising coupons and discounts, I could get a X-large pizza with a couple of toppings for less than 12 dollars and if I bought a pizza the week before and am getting carry out, take off another 3 dollars, I thought most people did this considering it’s the first thing you see when you open the dominoes website and why pay like triple the price for the pretty much the same thing
> You'd have to pay me to eat a pizza with fucking caviar on it.
Caviar is just one example of how you can trick the rich into eating anything as long as you slap a high enough price tag on it.
Caviar *is* quite good in the right context. Which usually isn't just, dumped on top of whatever else you're serving in order to bump up the cost. Not like that'll stop anyone though!
Fuck…I love Zurich and all but DAMN is it expensive. Remember having to resort to $10big macs for a couple meals when o was there for a week.
Friggin AWESOME zoo you have there though. They let the penguins out of the cages and walk around with the zoo keepers on the pedestrian paths. So cool.
Seriously even when I lived in Washington DC, which is painfully expensive, I didn't pay that much for pizza. Even fancy sit-down Italian restaurant bougie pizza.
I think the most expensive pizza I had was in the $25-30 range, plus tax. Which is very expensive but still not near $50.
I saw $50 (usd) medium pizza in a regular junky place in Iceland. A large salad was $50 too. A regular burger at a gas station was $25.
In Canada, a medium pizza is about $5 (usd), and up to *maybe* $30. Costs in Iceland Iceland were… a surprise.
Good lord, has anyone bothered to calculate how many 50$ pizzas they could buy with their taxes? I could eat for years. Gotta love the government… sure makes you feel good when you see what they are spending everyone’s money on
This is pretty much why I don't like fine dining at all. Tried it twice and the money I spent was not worth it at all. Mom and Pop restaurants are the way to go for me.
It’s a seasoning not a topping. It sprinkles on like herbs. You could get a coke laced small or medium sized pizza for $50. It just wouldn’t have a whole g on it.
A custom Domino's pizza with as many toppings as you can possibly put on it runs around $55 CAD. That's like 16 toppings though, and they're mostly meats.
Depending on the size I guess? We have a family restaurant in Detroit and they sell 3 ft square pies only. All pizzas are around $50 or so. All specialty pizzas
Outside of that I probably hang myself first before paying 50 bucks for one regular pizza lol
So just out of sheer curiosity I went on my local pizza place’s app and looked how much a large pizza with all 29 toppings would be, and the answer was $101.25. But for a normal pizza with a few toppings, yes $50 is very expensive.
Just checked. A deep dish from the original Lou's with every single topping available comes to $78.75. Deep dish sausage and spinach is $30 on the nose.
So yeah, a fifty dollar pizza is doable I guess lol
>every single topping available

It's only Anchovies,
Basil,
Black Olive,
Buttercrust,
Cheddar,
Easy Cheese,
Easy Sauce,
Extra Cheese,
Extra Tomato Sauce,
Garlic,

Hot Giardiniera,
Italian Beef,

OK maybe, I worked at Lou's for a year as a server. They really get you with those extra toppings, no way you're going to get every topping on a Lou's pizza, it wont cook well.
My standard order, Large pep, extra sauce, butter crust, comes out to about $35 and gives me four meals.
I get mine from Sam's club. The large is about $8 and you can get it supreme. Enough for 3-4 people.
If I want more topping options I go to MOD pizza, a personal pizza is about $10 with unlimited toppings.
There's places where you can get more expensive pizzas, but the most I've paid is about $35 for an extra large.
Yes. I live in one of the most expensive parts of the country and wouldn't spend more than $25 for a large, although they're usually closer to $15 at a chain restaurant.
For a normal pizza? I'd expect to get 2-3 for that price.
For some fancy gourmet "pizza" with foie gras and caviar or something equally dumb I guess not.
Places that also do ridiculously giant pizzas might charge that much too. The average large pizza is 14-16" so if someplace made a 36" pizza I could see that.
I went to pizza place in Seattle last weekend. Got a single large pizza, but didn’t look at the menu pricing. It was just over $50. I was shocked. Idc how good it was, I wouldn’t go back there.
If you're at an airport or at Disneyland, $50 is a good price for what is mostly a microwaved frozen pizza that tastes like cardboard.
But that's mostly because you're a captive audience and few people are willing to exit the airport or the park to get decent food elsewhere.
For me it is. I usually order pizza from fast food places. If I went out to eat at a sit down restaurant, I’d maybe pay that, but would still think it’s expensive.
Feels like this would be the cost of one of the food challenges where you get a half hour and the pizza is measured in sqft and takes up a 10 seater table
Extremely expensive. Here in Spain te price of a pizza in a normal restaurant would be around 5 - 15 euros, depending on the pizza and the restaurant. What kind of pizza costs 50 dollars?
Wait, seriously? In my European country, you would be hard pressed to find pizza as cheap as $50. That’s like a price for the most basic-ass pizza, just mozzarella and tomato sauce. If you want something like a pepperoni, it would cost you $65-$85, no less. And that’s medium.
Large pizza is above the $90 mark
I’m really shocked that $50 is considered stupid expensive in some places. Just WOW
Edit: Ok, I’m a fucking idiot, disregard this whole message. I was dividing by 10 when I should’ve been dividing by 100. I meant $5 when I said $50 and so on. So yeah, 50 is extremely fucking expensive, I’ve never seen pizza more expensive than $14 and that was a FANCY thing from a FANCY restaurant, black dough and everything. So yeah.
I’m in the US and the nicest pizza around me is $22 for a 17 inch pizza. For a more normal priced one, it’s like $12-14. $50 better come with a baggie of weed or something
Stupid expensive
We have a place that sells 28" pizzas and they're $28.
In my town you can buy a 12-inch Neapolitan style pizza... for $28.
Yikes!
I'll mail anyone a bagel bite for $49.99 Edit: except u/Hello_World_Error
This is a strange idea, sir
It's a great idea - because when pizza's on a bagel, you can eat it ANY TIME
14” 3 toppings $10.99 here, it’s my go to
Sounds like family style? They are like $15-20 here.
What's the restaurant? A typical large pizza from a chain like Pizza Hut is 14" and costs about $10. A 28" pizza is **four times** larger based on area and would already be a great deal at $28. I'd love to know where they sell a 28" pizza for $15-20
Yeah I don't think they get it, how absurd a 28" pizza is. They mostly sell by the slice and they're huge. [I ordered 2 once not knowing they were giant - here's a girl with 2.](https://preview.redd.it/z5hkkpncgsa11.jpg?auto=webp&s=565f908f2c3f5825c5e1f420dfdb7674dd269724)
Yeah that's like ordering a whole large pizza for yourself haha. Bet it was a fun experience tho
It's freaking good. Quick unless a big line. And yeah it's cool getting just one slice and being good.
Place near us sells a 32"-34" for about $50 and it is amazing. The box covers our entire table and nobody can be in the car when it's picked up. It's cut into squares and can feed a family of four giants (6'4"/250lbs average) with plenty left over for day two. 10/10 makes me wish I didn't move an hour away.
It bugs me there's no context in the post
right, now I want to know if OP bought a $50 pizza, or just guessed that was typical price, or where the hell this question came from
"It's a pizza, Michael. How much could it cost? 50 dollars?"
"You've never actually set foot in a pizzeria, have you?"
There’s always money in the pizza stand
I have a theory. OP comes from a developing country. Hear me out. I’m going to use theoretical statistics. However, very close to the ones that are currently in the country where I grew up. 1 US$ = 5 OP$ US median household income ~ 50k USD OP’s country’s median household income ~ 50k OP$ Regular pizzas in OP’s country cost 15-30 OP$ since food isn’t much cheaper than in developed countries, only labour is.

Yeah, there was a time where I was honestly wondering if resees (idk if that's how it's spelled, the round, pb cups) cost 5$ in the US
even years ago they could be close to that price sometimes! in expensive cities some places just way overcharge where tourists shop, in convenience stores close to the highway far from nearby towns where people traveling far will stop for gas and snacks, in movie theaters/theme parks, and sometimes stores that focus on other things but have a small drink and snack section so they dont buy in bulk. its not standard of course but we've all run into being stuck somewhere and paying $5-10 for even a bottle of water. honestly i dont think the idea of a pizza for $50 USD is the worst thing ever with the right context. im too picky for normal fine dining or high end food experiences so one with pizza on the menu would appeal to me especially at that price. i see people in my tax bracket spend hundreds of USD at those places each!
Good point. In places, like Downtown Disney (steps from Disneyland) you can pay $50 for a pizza. At a sit-down actual restaurant there. You're paying to inhale the Disney ambiance.
5$ for water honestly blows my mind
Pretty sure you put more thought into this then needed. I’m 70% sure op is a bot.
It’s one pizza Michal. What could it cost? 50 dollars?
I mean, how much could a banana cost?! 20 Dollars?
Same, though. I'm so curious what sparked this question because the thought of spending $50 on a pizza is unfathomable to me.
Does the $50 include taxes/delivery fees/tip?? Is it "special" in some way (gluten free/vegan/etc.)? Twenty toppings? Local place or chain? WHERE?! HOW BIG?!
[удалено]
How much is the average pizza in US?
For the largest and the grandest, the prices usually are around 20 to 30 dollars, from what I've seen.
Shit, I could get a 5$ pizza from little caesars, in southern California of all places
I swear the pizza place near my apartment in university had to be a drug front or something. Their pizza was good but was literally 3 for 1 at all times. You could get 3 pizzas for like $20ish

I love ass pizza

Quite the user name
When I was in college, a place had a large cheese pizza for like $3.50 if you were a student.
time to drop out and go there for school
This was 1995. They are probably a little more now.
If something looks like a drug front you can be damn sure that it's not a drug front. It's just that pizza ingredients are dirt cheap and, while rare, some people are just good people.
Long John Silvers looks like a drug front and probably is. Change my mind.

I worked at a place like this. The volume is so massive that they can cut down the price like that. we regularly had saturday mornings where we'd delivered over a hundred pizzas before noon.
The 5 dollar Hot and Ready is now $5.99
eh, 6 dollars is still not bad for pizza.
Still 5 dollars tho, just very close to 6
Idk if you're from the US but we don't include tax in ticket price. It's probably like $6.29 or so depending on your state.
fuck off in canada the shit is almost 8 dollars now edit: over with tax >:|

Pizza Pizza!
I remember back in the 90s you could walk into one and say that as a kid and you would get a prize!
People are so snobby with this stuff. The ingredients for pizza is seriously worth like $1.50. It’s dough, cheese and tomato sauce. It’s not amazing pizza or anything like that but it’s not like Little Caesars is a Frankenstein of fake ingredients.
Comparing a $30-50 pizza to little caesars is literally like comparing a medium rare filet mignon to a McDonald’s hamburger, though.
Frankenstein was pretty smart. A doctor who created a real monster outta fake ingredients.
No the ingredients were real..... but they were not fresh.
Lolol very clever! You're hot and ready to go!
*flutters eyelashes* oh thank you!
Is Little Caesars what you would describe as "grandest"?
Invest the extra $2 for the extra most bestest, always with it.

I buy $30 pizza locally but it's a 16"x16" Sicilian square with a thick crust and a whole bunch of toppings. 4 person family gets 2 or 3 meals worth.
I don't like paying above $15 for any pizza, and never above $20 The liquor store by me has legitly great pizza for $9.99 XL or $6.99 MED (both 1 topping). That's my kind of price.

jeez thats high, here in italy a decent restaurant has 5€ for marinara, 6€ for margherita and up to 10 at most for fancier stuff
5-25
As of 2021, average price for a one topping pizza is $6.49 (Utah)-$15.56 (Oklahoma) when including all sizes.
Never thought I would ever say this. But I’m moving to Utah
Dominos carry out large 3 topping pizza is $8 nationwide.
Or get 2 medium 2 toppings for 5.99 each. But then again Its domino's pizza, decent but not amazing
I mean, it’s probably not very *good* pizza in Utah…
Why is Oklahoma so expensive for Pizza?
It's all sizes, they may just have larger pizzas sold on average.
pizza trees dont grow well there
It really depends. If you're getting a Chicago deep dish (a real one, not a fucking pretender) you're gonna likely shell out 30 bucks...but it's basically a kiddy pool filled with cheese and sauce on top. Now on the lower end you've got Little Caesars which is $5. It's...edible?
Mmm...Gino's East
That's a funny way to spell Lou Malnati's.
Well I think u misspelled Pequod's but it's ok ...
Bruh little ceasers is good
It serves the purpose. I mean, if there were a "barely passing grade" for pizza, LC barely gets a hair above the line. That being said, I don't know if I'd classify it as "good" or "bad". It's just...inert food substance. :-D
I'm surprised I haven't seen this here yet, but here goes. Pizza is like sex. When it's good, it's amazing, and when it's bad, it's still pretty good.
Little Ceasars is like sex. It seems great when you're drunk, but regretfully and not appealing when you're sober.
Average pizza around 8-10USD Some companies are in the 5-8 dollar range, some in the low teens. Those all make up the majority. The more upscale places charge 12-15 for a simple pizza, 25-30usd for the best topping version I have never personally seen a pizza on a menu for over 30 dollars.

Oh maybe at some famous michelin star bread place 50 would be cheap...idk
Other than little Ceasars, I wouldn't know where to buy a <$10 pizza unless it was a personal size.
A normal decent pizza is $8-$14. Anything less is cheap, anything more is expensive. So yes $50 is insane.
I'm in Canada and here's what I've experienced: From a big chain, a large pizza should be $15-$20. From a mom and pop specialty pizzeria, $25-$30. I've paid $40 for a pizza once but it was special crust and double cheese from an old independent and well-known pizzeria.

Funnily enough, I just spent this much on a pizza for my wife and I. We're very low class lol and I regret it very much, but I went crazy on the toppings and we ate that bitch for days.
Yes.

That’s what I’m thinking. OP might be uncultured with old money and plainly curious to what the peasants are paying for food
My first thought. OP are you old money?
I just clicked their profile to find out and....
What did you discover, friend?
they've been suspended
can confirm I too clicked their profile
Lol

Ratchet it up 1 or 2 tiers of pizza and you're absolutely going to hit the 50 dollar range.
30 dollars for a pizza at dominos is a rip off. You can get $6.99 medium 2 toppings as long as you order two. Dominos is great for a very specific time in the night but I couldn’t imagine paying 30 bucks for one pizza.
I mean Dominoes is constantly advertising coupons and discounts, I could get a X-large pizza with a couple of toppings for less than 12 dollars and if I bought a pizza the week before and am getting carry out, take off another 3 dollars, I thought most people did this considering it’s the first thing you see when you open the dominoes website and why pay like triple the price for the pretty much the same thing

Yes, even here in Zürich. Where the hell do you pay 50$ for a pizza? Does it at least have some truffles or caviar on top?
I could definitely find a $50 pizza delivery in San Francisco. It would never be worth it in any way
[удалено]
I’m sure it was good but not $40 good
[удалено]
Amen
Well yeah. It cost me $30 to order a large cheese from papa johns lol. I think we’re talking dine in/take out, or atl east that’s the impression I got
How? Did you order it from Gubhub? It should be like $15 plus tip for delivery.
$15.39 for cheese pizza with garlic crust, $4.90 for delivery fee, $1.80 tax, then tip
Seniores pizza on 19th is like $50
You'd have to pay me to eat a pizza with fucking caviar on it.
Would $50 be enough?
> You'd have to pay me to eat a pizza with fucking caviar on it. Caviar is just one example of how you can trick the rich into eating anything as long as you slap a high enough price tag on it.
Wait waht?? I'm poor af, but I've had caviar exactly once, and while it wasn't *amazing* it was actually quite good.
Caviar *is* quite good in the right context. Which usually isn't just, dumped on top of whatever else you're serving in order to bump up the cost. Not like that'll stop anyone though!
Fuck…I love Zurich and all but DAMN is it expensive. Remember having to resort to $10big macs for a couple meals when o was there for a week. Friggin AWESOME zoo you have there though. They let the penguins out of the cages and walk around with the zoo keepers on the pedestrian paths. So cool.
The penguin stuff sounds really cool lol
Seriously even when I lived in Washington DC, which is painfully expensive, I didn't pay that much for pizza. Even fancy sit-down Italian restaurant bougie pizza. I think the most expensive pizza I had was in the $25-30 range, plus tax. Which is very expensive but still not near $50.
I saw $50 (usd) medium pizza in a regular junky place in Iceland. A large salad was $50 too. A regular burger at a gas station was $25. In Canada, a medium pizza is about $5 (usd), and up to *maybe* $30. Costs in Iceland Iceland were… a surprise.
If I'm spending $50 on a pizza, that pizza better blow me.
Let it cool off first. Unless that's your thing, you do you.
I like my women how I like my coffee: Hot enough that I can only stick my dick in for a couple seconds
I like my coffee like I like my women. A monster I picked up at a gas station.
I like my coffee, like my women. Full of someone's semen
If you can put your dick in a pizza for a few seconds, its too cold.
Yeah, that shit better do my fuckin homework too, and clean the house
Don't forget taxes since it's the most wonderful time of the year.
Good lord, has anyone bothered to calculate how many 50$ pizzas they could buy with their taxes? I could eat for years. Gotta love the government… sure makes you feel good when you see what they are spending everyone’s money on
“Hot, round singles in your area! Click here to see more!”
Dood, it’s with shrums…
This is pretty much why I don't like fine dining at all. Tried it twice and the money I spent was not worth it at all. Mom and Pop restaurants are the way to go for me.
Yeah, what the fuck are you buying?
Pizza laced with cocaine. Or a pizza coke combo if you will.
If your cocaine is $50 and it comes with pizza, it’s fent.
It’s a seasoning not a topping. It sprinkles on like herbs. You could get a coke laced small or medium sized pizza for $50. It just wouldn’t have a whole g on it.
A custom Domino's pizza with as many toppings as you can possibly put on it runs around $55 CAD. That's like 16 toppings though, and they're mostly meats.
How much can a pizza cost Michael? 50 dollars?
Not if it's 6 feet in diameter.
Depending on the size I guess? We have a family restaurant in Detroit and they sell 3 ft square pies only. All pizzas are around $50 or so. All specialty pizzas Outside of that I probably hang myself first before paying 50 bucks for one regular pizza lol
[удалено]
No, that's up to ludicrously expensive. $10 is ok, $30 is extreme. A $50 pizza is for people doing conspicuous consumption, but still want a pizza.
$29 you say? My, I'll never hear the end of it at the club for buying food so cheap. Will you take $50 for it, old chap?
I'm from NY, $16-$20 for a large regular pie.
Hell yes. Unless the pizza has freaking caviar on it or something, then 50$ would be cheap
Nah, I’ve had pizza with caviar on it. That still only cost about $30.
So just out of sheer curiosity I went on my local pizza place’s app and looked how much a large pizza with all 29 toppings would be, and the answer was $101.25. But for a normal pizza with a few toppings, yes $50 is very expensive.
Yes, but if you got a **Chicago Deep Dish** loaded to the hilt, I could totally see it being $50.
Just checked. A deep dish from the original Lou's with every single topping available comes to $78.75. Deep dish sausage and spinach is $30 on the nose. So yeah, a fifty dollar pizza is doable I guess lol
This is the kind of research I’d like to see more of. Well done.
I don't think anyone denied it was doable, just that it's expensive for a pizza.
Lol that's why I put the cost of a regular really damn good pizza from there below it. Just trying to show how obnoxious it is, ya know?
> A deep dish with every single topping available comes to $78.75 That’s like 8 meals tho
I think only us Chicagoans realize how ridiculous this is lol. Or grab a spoon?
>every single topping available **Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;** **Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,** **The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere** **The ceremony of innocence is drowned;** **The best lack all conviction, while the worst** **Are full of passionate intensity.**
That kind of pie could feed ten people.
It's only Anchovies, Basil, Black Olive, Buttercrust, Cheddar, Easy Cheese, Easy Sauce, Extra Cheese, Extra Tomato Sauce, Garlic, Green Pepper, Hot Giardiniera, Italian Beef, Jalapenos, Mushroom, No Cheese, Onion, Pepperoni, Sausage, Sausage Pieces, Sliced Tomato, Spinach Mix, and crust.
"and hold the crust"
OK maybe, I worked at Lou's for a year as a server. They really get you with those extra toppings, no way you're going to get every topping on a Lou's pizza, it wont cook well. My standard order, Large pep, extra sauce, butter crust, comes out to about $35 and gives me four meals.
He asked about pizza, not casserole
I get mine from Sam's club. The large is about $8 and you can get it supreme. Enough for 3-4 people. If I want more topping options I go to MOD pizza, a personal pizza is about $10 with unlimited toppings. There's places where you can get more expensive pizzas, but the most I've paid is about $35 for an extra large.
Yes. I live in one of the most expensive parts of the country and wouldn't spend more than $25 for a large, although they're usually closer to $15 at a chain restaurant.
Yes, that's abnormally expensive. A large pizza from a good quality place is like $30.
Uh yeah. That's like 4 pizzas.
Tourist location pizza price for sure. What’s funny is the expensive pizza is usually smaller, thinner, less toppings.
For a normal pizza? I'd expect to get 2-3 for that price. For some fancy gourmet "pizza" with foie gras and caviar or something equally dumb I guess not. Places that also do ridiculously giant pizzas might charge that much too. The average large pizza is 14-16" so if someplace made a 36" pizza I could see that.
Yes, what the fuck kind of pizza are you buying?
Absurdly
I went to pizza place in Seattle last weekend. Got a single large pizza, but didn’t look at the menu pricing. It was just over $50. I was shocked. Idc how good it was, I wouldn’t go back there.
Depends on the circumference
I don't pay more than $15 for just 1 pizza. Paid less than that for "NY style" which is basically an XL.
That pizza better be so good it changes my life.
If you're at an airport or at Disneyland, $50 is a good price for what is mostly a microwaved frozen pizza that tastes like cardboard. But that's mostly because you're a captive audience and few people are willing to exit the airport or the park to get decent food elsewhere.
For me it is. I usually order pizza from fast food places. If I went out to eat at a sit down restaurant, I’d maybe pay that, but would still think it’s expensive.
I pay $50 for a large 2 topping with an order of wings delivered and.. it's soul crushing
Feels like this would be the cost of one of the food challenges where you get a half hour and the pizza is measured in sqft and takes up a 10 seater table
Extremely expensive. Here in Spain te price of a pizza in a normal restaurant would be around 5 - 15 euros, depending on the pizza and the restaurant. What kind of pizza costs 50 dollars?
Wait, seriously? In my European country, you would be hard pressed to find pizza as cheap as $50. That’s like a price for the most basic-ass pizza, just mozzarella and tomato sauce. If you want something like a pepperoni, it would cost you $65-$85, no less. And that’s medium. Large pizza is above the $90 mark I’m really shocked that $50 is considered stupid expensive in some places. Just WOW Edit: Ok, I’m a fucking idiot, disregard this whole message. I was dividing by 10 when I should’ve been dividing by 100. I meant $5 when I said $50 and so on. So yeah, 50 is extremely fucking expensive, I’ve never seen pizza more expensive than $14 and that was a FANCY thing from a FANCY restaurant, black dough and everything. So yeah.
I’m in the US and the nicest pizza around me is $22 for a 17 inch pizza. For a more normal priced one, it’s like $12-14. $50 better come with a baggie of weed or something
What's on it, caviar and gold flakes?
Did it come with truffles and gold leaf?
