price of pizza has plummeted (Political?)

[Eyeball Chambers]

Back in the 90's and early 2000's you couldn't get a decent pizza for under $18.00.

Now $5.00 to $10.00 dollar pizzas dominate.

 

[Tito24]

i don't recall that..

Pizza has gone up in price just like everything else has. 

[Dos Equis]

Pizza has gone down in price.  Even though I don't eat it anymore.

 i don't agree...it has gone up in my area, as has everything else.

i'm talking about prices i have observed in pizza places in NY/CT..

You say that the price has fallen with such conviction...where is your evidence?

My evidence is Eyeball's first post.  I've noticed the same thing.

[Eyeball Chambers]

Uno's pizza which is really good quality is even cheaper than it use to be.

I like this answer to the question

 I dont know where youre from, but in nyc its still expensive as fukc. unless you order dominoes or a place like that where they use cardboard for most of the ingredients. there will always be a demand for pizza, there will always be stoned college kids and people too lazy to cook.


there used to be Uno here in CT...No more these days...how much for a pizza there?

As americas economy dives the attempt to keep people from rioting will come from what has come to be known as BREAD AND CIRCUSES. This is an attempt at quelling uprisings in a society as thing go from bad to worst. The Romans put on shows, chariot races and made food cheap and available to everyone. So the same is being done in america now...notice as you said the falling prices on fast food. Notice a lot of sales at supermarkets, notice how trinkets and 99 cent stores are erupting everywhere in america? It is the CALM BEFORE THE STORM. Just as with the Romans you can only carry that on for so long before economically it can not be carried on any more. By then the corruption of the country and the crooks have walked off with so much and the financial ruination of the country is so complete that the nation falls soon thereafter. These cheap foods are an indicator of trouble ahead....

peparoni, mushrooms and extra cheese.....hmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[240 is Back]

look at the pizza building cooking and delivery process....
it's gotten more efficient

instead of having some kid write down your info every time, then pass that paper to the kid cooking it, then having him roll the dough from fresh ingredients, cook it in a big oven, then give it to another kid to hop in his 84 oldsmobile and wasitng a lot of gas trying to find your house...

you have a computer telling a kid to pop pizza style A4 into an oven/Q unit.  The timer beeps, and another kid hops in his tercel and travels to 1 of 4 stops using his GPS unit to tell him the best path to take.

how do you know so much about the pizza making process?

my brother worked at this little pizza place when he was in high school...wed always get the messed up pizzas it was nice

[240 is Back]

in my mba course on operations mgmt, we used the pizza prep and delivery process, as well as variations made behind the scene which can lead to greater overall efficiency, as an example of how to run any business.

the ingredients are cheap. its the process you pay for.  and technology has made the process more efficient by a mile.

The profit margin in pizza is simply staggering.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.... Interesting! 

[24KT]

I agree

My girlfriend and her husband used to own a pizzeria that they had her brother-in-law run for them.
It was a very consistent source of mad-money for her. Whenever she felt like going shopping,
...she'd pop into the pizzeria and help herself to the till. The profit margins were just craaaaazy!!!
It boggles my mind how that place could support her shopping whims, which were very high end,
support her brother-in-laws family, and still turn a profit. The money she pulled out of there was crazy!

She sounds like a bitch...

[SupplementGuy]

It's the economy, stupid.

[24KT]

She sounds like a bitch...

Hahahaha... she is! But that's why they bought the pizzeria to begin with... to keep her in pocket change.

You should have seen what a witch she was to be around when she found a receipt from European Jewellers for a very expensive piece of jewellry, ...and she didn't get any jewellry for Christmas! tHen she waited for 2 months to see if she would get it for Valentines Day. ...she didn't. She was not a happy camper, 'cause she knew exactly what that meant... hubby had a mistress.  lol.

The decline / collapse of the Roman Empire took centuries. I am wondering how fast the US decline / collapse will be? Perhaps it will be much faster because we are living in different times where a lot can happen in a much shorter timespan.

Regarding the price of pizza: A decent extra large pizza here in Michigan is still around $16-$20. That is one with a few meat / vegetable toppings. I have yet to see a decent Buddy's Pizza for $10. Once or twice my wife have found coupons that brought the price down by 50%. But they are not always available. Shield's pizzas are about as awesome as Buddy's. Not sure if they are available outside Michigan. California Pizza Kitchen has a great tasting avocado w/ chicken pizza. The crust is also a lot thinner than the deep dish Buddy's and Shield's pizzas. However those deep dish pizzas are great!

In NYC, Pizza is between $2 - $3 a slice.   If you want chicken or other crap it could be anywhere from $3.50 - $5.00 a slice.

You can buy pizza by the slice?
