How else am I meant to make the cheese stick?
I am broke and can only pretend putting pepperoni and cheese on a tortilla turns it into a pizza.
:-/
Knock it off, Napoleon! Go make yourself a dang quesa-dilla!
4channers slowly discovering the cost of convenience
$1.50 how? Is he having a sliced tomato on cardboard?
Yeah seriously; I made pizza at home once, and the basic ingredients ended up costing more than getting pizza for takeout. So even though it was fun, I never attempted it again.
It shouldn’t be more expensive than takeout. You have to do everything from scratch for it to be cheap though. Flour, yeast, olive oil, canned tomatoes/spices, and a block of mozzarella to shred yourself. Wait for a good sale on the mozzarella.
It’s not super duper cheap but even dominoes is getting expensive these days, and making it yourself should be healthier too.
Note that this is not hard and you can do it in a cast iron skillet. Flour oil warm water salt and yeast, let it rise, roll it out. Put it in the oiled skillet on the burner and cook it while you top it, then pop the whole thing in the oven at 500 to bake. You can add literally any thing you want. A good sauce is just blending canned whole peeled tomatoes with some oil and salt. Add garlic, basil, anchovies, do whatever you want.
I mean it’s kind of hard to beat unlimited toppings for $12 at the pizza place I go to, even if you do make everything from scratch.
Oh if it’s Blaze pizza or similar that’s a huge win haha. I go there and load up the toppings too.
it’s just a very small pizza
No way does it have cheese.
I could do the dough, probably. A jar of sauce is over, a can of tomatoes is over, hell 3 to 4 regular ass tomatoes are over that.
Well you steal the ingredients and then throw a buck fifty in the homeless dude’s can outside the store. Best guess. Also I approve of this method.

Jeez, pizza cost so much in USA, even by comparing with cost of living i can’t belive that a margherita is 8 dollars
wtf where the hell yall getting $8 margherita pizzas
in nyc a small is like $14 😭Wtf?? 😭
i mean granted, it’s WELL worth the $14
you’d have a difficult time finding a mediocre pizza here
Same here on the west coast 💀
A Margherita is just a cheese pizza in a lot of Europe.
Confused me for a while too
Same here in Germany.
Here in Italy i pay 4€ or even 3€ in some places 🙏
Well, they got to ship them from Italy to the US, so that makes sense
At Lago di Como it was around 8€ 😢 But it is a huge tourist area.
Yeah, that’s scam, and since it’s a tourist area they just put high prices, i suggest to ask local people about good restourant that aren’t tourist traps, they usually know
We had three large pizzas delivered (16") and the total came out to $95
I noticed this when I visited Marseille recently. I couldn’t believe how cheap pizza is!
It’s not uncommon to see large pizzas for $30+ in my area (which tbf is expensive even for america). I think American pizza does often have more toppings, but not enough more.
The price has gone up so much in the past ten years or so.
And how much is it wherever you are? Please give links or pics of menus.

Yeah, but a mergherita is only 5€, most of those pizzas have a lot of ingredients and still don’t go higher than 10€, some of the replies say that they pay a mergherita 14$ which is crazy considering how much a margherita is simple
eat nothing costs $0
Yeah, I’m an anorexic only guy now

Yeah I’m a breatharian now, never going back to physical foods.
Decide on a whim to make za at home
welp, see you in 4 daysPizza at home is a whole hobby by itself, not a dinner choice.
I do it from time to time, but if factor my time, each pizza ends up costing like 20 euros, and I don’t even have any fancy equipment to amortize…
Much more efficient to do an hour of overtime and order from a local Italian restaurant, if all you want is to eat a good pizza.
Yup I also ended up migrating to the restaurants/cafe’s own apps for pickup
I might have 47 food related apps on my phone now but beats a fuggin 30% charge to the restaurant
I went through a local boba place’s website to order for a few months. Would order, walk there, and it would be ready right as I arrived, all very neat.
Then I found out my $9 order was $5 for a drink and $4 for door dash, who apparently runs the site? I don’t want to contribute to door dash becoming ticketmaster, but restaurants opt-in to that shit willingly.
Now I’m paying half price in person and wasting 5-10 minutes each time. Can’t win.
Maybe just call them, like in the good old days?
Yep, I started calling every restaurant to order years ago. Fuck having a bunch of unnecessary apps on my phone and fuck paying some unnecessary intermediary company a cut.
Not all restaurants’ sites are this way, so check on a per restaurant basis
Making own pizza is the way to go for sure, especially when there are like taco leftovers or something. Yummy!
It takes a pretty long time though. I eat pizza first and foremost because it’s fast
Literally inspired me to make homemade pizza tomorrow
Did you know that if you spend $70 on ingredients and 4 hours in the kitchen you can make a burger that is superior to anything at McDonalds or Burger King? Follow me for more lifestyle tips!
Hell, 20$ at a Ramen Shop will get me something superior than anything at McDonalds or Burger King
I could probably do it for $5, especially if I’m allowed to shop in the EU and it only counts the ingredients that I actually use for the burger.
Frozen pizzas are like 10$ in northern Canada…
That being said, pepperoni is prohibitivly expensive for homemade pizza
Isn’t everything expensive in northern Canada? Maybe except snow and ice…
Yes everything is more expensive because of the cost of shipping things up there.
Probably because you are so far from Italy
Why even make pizza? What is it really? Bread, cheese, toppings, and tomato sauce. I can knock that down to $0.25 or less per pizza.
Take a slice of bread, spread with tomato sauce, top with cheese and toppings, then broil until toppings melt. Want a calzone? Add a second piece of bread on top of the end, broil until toasted.
Boom. Pizza.
…/s ?
No /s
This is a great variant to regular pizza when you happen to have the ingredients on hand. I do it all the time.
It’s fancy cheese on toast
Italian rarebit.
Definitely closer to a proper pizza than those deepdish “pizzas”.
“I made pizza everyone!”
Looks inside
>Italian Sandwich
Cost of store brand premade pizza: $6-8, 15 minutes cook time, versus Cost of homemade pizza:
$2.00 for half block of store brand mozzarella cheese (Pre-shredded cheese has additives in it to keep it from clumping.) 1/2 onion - $0.50 2 cloves garlic $0.25 4 ounces tomato paste $0.50 Dry basil, oregano, bay leaf, parsley, paprika $0.10 2 cups flour $0.30 Packet of yeast $0.30
Total cost of ingredients: $4.45 Ingredient wise, I’m saving $1 - 4.
The real cost is time. Prep time/clean time: Making dough, chopping veg, making sauce, shredding cheese, bake time, and washing dishes, is 2.5 hours (My hourly wage is $28) so that’s a $70 cost in terms of time. That cost will be variable depending on a person’s hourly wage. Looks like premade, frozen, store brand gets you the best bang for the buck.
Also the cost of actually cooking the thing. Doesn’t take long but oven has to be proper hot. The cost will be negligible compared to the ingredients, but many people are carefully watching their utility bills right now.
There is the long term benefit of using fresher, safer ingredients. Pizza places are a mixed bag on that front, but you do have a better idea of the number of rotting mouse carcasses under your counter, compared to someone else’s
Making your own pizza is cheap if you don’t value your time
where do you live? where i live all that is easily double or triple the price.
if i want to make pizza i’m spending $20-30 on basic ingredients that might get me 2-3 12" pizzas.
I live in New York state. I can get a $3.00 bag of flour that will net me about 20 cups of flour. I buy individual onions, and an individual onion might cost close to $1. Mozzarella cheese is close to $4 a brick (16 ounces) and I used half for my recipe. A bulb of garlic cost $1, usually 8 good sized cloves in one bulb. (If I can shop at my local Asian market instead of the normal grocery store, I can get like 3 bulbs of garlic for $1.) 8 ounce can of tomato paste for $1. Store brand yeast cost $1 and come as a 3 pack. Spices cost quite a bit when you purchase a brand new bottle, but you can make many meals with your bottle of spice. Not sure if I under or over estimated on the spices.
I purchase large quantities of store brand ingredients where ever possible, and the supplies I buy will make more than 1 pizza. I attempted to break down the cost per pizza, based on the quantity of ingredients I use in my recipe.
in a rural area in western NY? I’d believe you.
In NYC a bag of flour is like 6-10 dollars. I just bought flour two weeks ago and it was 7 bucks for the cheap crap. A thing of oatmeal, is $5.
Albany, NY, in the city, not the surrounding suburbs or a more rural area.
albany is the boonies yo.
