Do you guys remember around 10 years ago when an extra large pizza with 3 topping was 14 dollars? What the fuck happened?
>>20977978It still is at Little Caesars
>>20977978still is at my local pizza shop
>>20977979Is 14 inches consider large?
>>20977978Dementia Joe accidentally the economy

10 years ago to order pizza you picked up the phone, you talked to someone, you walked to the pizza shop, and you paid for your pizza. Today, you open Seamless app, which directs you to the pizza shop that paid the highest for search ranking, you then order a pizza, which gets transmitted through the Grubhub API with payment processing by Stripe. The pizza order gets delivered to the shop, which then places it on a counter where a worker (paid the local guaranteed minimum of $16/hour and we both know you're not tipping) shows up on an ebike subleased from JocoSomeone is paying for all that shit and guess who that someone is? Stupid fucking zoomers can't do math because they were raised on I-pods and rotted their minds with violent intendo games.
>>20977978>>20978023There's a Pizza Nova about a 5 minute walk from my house that makes fantastic pizza, the main guy who works there knows me by name now and usually throws in a little something extra. There are 8 Italian food places within walking distance so when I moved here and found the best value for money I became a regular and that always has benefits.
>>20977978If you're not smart enough to make your own pizzas by now, you deserve it. Pizzas are an idiot tax. It's not hard to make dough, slap a bit of tomato on it and grate some cheese. Stop being lazy.
>>20978040I will definitely say that the pizzas I make myself are far better than anything you can get from a restaurant, but it's one of those foods that's pretty hard to fuck up if the set up and ingredients are decent so pizza is one of thefew take out fast foods I will go for.
>>20977978>HalalYou're getting what you deserve.
I remember 19.99 plus tip being the cost of a pizza in 4chan memes 10+ years ago.
>>20978088I heard you guys were talking about me
>>20977978>What the fuck happened?Inflation and delivery companies adding random fees under the 'taxes and other fees' section.>>20977993Ask your mom.
>>20977978i recognize this place. maybe, order from another place that isn't bullshit overpriced and gentrified to shit?
>>20978023>10 years agoAll of the terminally online smartphone centered bullshit was just a true ten years ago as it is today. The infamous none pizza was from 2007.
>>20978015welcome to biden's canada
>>20977978>What the fuck happened?covid
My local place sells an 18" cheese for $20. Sounds like a Canada issue.
>>20977978dominos near me has this coupon at all times. it's not $14 but a 2 dollar price increase over 10 years isn't that crazy maybeit is also hawaii where everything is more expensive, i think back home a few years ago this coupon was $12
>>20978015USD is used >>20978247>a 2 dollar price increase over 10 years isn't that crazy maybeWhen you think about how much the quality of their ingredients must have decreased for them to be able to only raise costs $2 over 10 years, it kinda makes the idea of eating Dominos pretty unappealing
>>20977978yeah but back then we didn't call it it pizza we called it a Hot Carl
>>20977978>Peppe on Fire
>>20978039do you guys fuck?
Can some of you fellow Americans explain a thing about pizza delivery? Watching US tv every time someone ordered a pizza it amounted to at least 12 bucks per one pizza ,around 2002-2007. Considering that was so long ago, it always surprised me how much it cost, since its a typical fast food item, you would expect it wouldnt cost so much, right? So was it like, 30 percent of those 12 bucks just for delivery?
>>20978779also, i should mention that every pizza that was ordered on the shows looked normal sized, not xl so the answer couldnt be the size
>>20977978just make them at home i made this 16" for like $5
>>20978406
>>20977978Greed. Inflation. Greedflation. Or something like that.
>>20978794>12 dollars for 8 slices of pizza that can feed 3-4 people is expensive You might just be retarded
>>20978886Looks like a good pidser.
>>20978933fuck you bitch, it was a normal sized pizza for 12 bucks in 2003, that seems a lot
>>20978940I want to stick my tongue i. your mouth and explore you
>>20977978I remember when a large was 16 inch, not the current 12 to 14 inch range.
>>20977978I remember before Covid Papa Johns would have 50% off coupons several times a month and you could get a large pizza with anything on it for $7.50 and delivery charge was only $2, and a good tip was $3.
>>20977978>$41 for a medium pizzaWhere is this? My favorite local pizza place which literally makes some of the best pizza in the city does $20 for a large(16") pepperoni.
>>20978023Is there people really that autistic that they plan out ordering a pizza with a pre-made checklist and contingencies?
>>20979480It's a useful way to avoid mistakes caused by cognitive overload
>halalDropped
>>20979491if you get cognitive overload ordering a pizza it might be time to get put down. if you're in canada like OP the government will help you with that
>>20979684Hey even experts make mistakes, that's why the most skilled professionals use checklists
>>20978015Trudeau doesn't really think about economics so his government just issues more currency to pay for shit. This causes inflation, which is why prices are higher: more currency in circulation means each unit of currency isn't worth as much.
>>20979867You don't really understand anything. Fiat has no value. Having 1 dollar of fiat in circulation or 1 000 000 fiat is backed by the same thing (nothing). Printing more does not devalue fiat like gold back currency (100 dollars printed for 1 ton of gold versus 1 000 000 dollars for 1 ton)
>>20979480I used to have crippling social anxiety. One of the things which allowed me to manage it enough to make phone calls was to write down what I wanted to say. Honestly anyone who genuinely shames someone for doing what he needs to get by should get cancer and die horribly.
>>20978023>I-podsreally chaps my ass when people don’t stylize it correctly
>>20978098>mutton $0.03what the fuck? what is that like 2 grams of mutton?
>>20978145Have a (you) for this
>>20979049hi
>>20978023bruh, you really trying to gaslight me into thinking pizza wasn't delivered 10 years ago? I've seen futurama. It was delivered even 24 years ago man
>>20978142Tell me how gentrification is bad for me? I already know why it’s bad for you, you think 40 dollars is a lot.
>>20978321So you’re imagining dominos taste worse because you’re imagining the ingredients got worse? What’s it like thinking you’re always right? Must be nice.
>>20979886What a sad story. I can’t understand why you posted this or would ever admit to it. Having faults doesn’t make you interesting. It makes you just like everyone else. Boring.
Meanwhile weapons grade weed has become the norm and it's super cheap compared to ten years ago. In many states you can even buy it at legal weed stores with heavy taxes and its still cheaper than buying it on the street a decade ago.
>>20979966knowing how to cook includes knowing how to source, and use, ingredients responsibly and efficiently. not my fault you spent $400 on mutton at the hipster store. I buy all my mutton from the local peternakan because I am not a clueless spoiled child
>>20982781nta but it's relevant to the conversation unlike your post. what was the point of your post anyway?
>>20979873Fiat is fake but we use it to buy real things, that's where the inflation comes in. Otherwise why not print a zillion dollars and buy everything? Inflation is good for rich people's investments so the rest of us have to deal with it.
>>20978023>stuff has become more expensive because of them youngins and their technology
>>20978886my body rejects homemade food because there aren't enough seed oils in it
>>20978048>it's one of those foods that's pretty hard to fuck uplmao I am a big pizza fan but I can't remember the last time I ate a good pizza from a restaurant. There's always something wrong with it, whether it's the dough, the quality of ingredients, etc. so I just stopped ordering and make it myself now. If you think the common pizza you find is good you lack palate or you must high
>>20979966You have to take into account that you're buying $20 of any meat but only using $0.03 of it.
>>20978023That's cool and all, but here in reality you order pizza directly from the store, not an imaginary third party.
>>20978023>ten years ago we had johnny cash, steve jobs and bob hope
Sigh. These were the days. I miss college.
I sometimes buy frozen pizzas when they're on on sale at $4. Paying restaurants in 2024 feels like an IQ test, like lottery tickets and gambling
>>20978098>spending real money on indog SEA trashfuckin bake some chicken or a pot roast ffs you don't need to be eating Indian slop larping as east asian
