Do you guys remember around 10 years ago when an extra large pizza with 3 topping was 14 dollars? What the fuck happened?

There'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.

>>20977978
If 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.

I 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.

I remember 19.99 plus tip being the cost of a pizza in 4chan memes 10+ years ago.

Inflation and delivery companies adding random fees under the 'taxes and other fees' section.

All 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.

My local place sells an 18" cheese for $20. Sounds like a Canada issue.

dominos 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 maybe
it is also hawaii where everything is more expensive, i think back home a few years ago this coupon was $12

>a 2 dollar price increase over 10 years isn't that crazy maybe
When 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

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?
>>
>>20978779
also, i should mention that every pizza that was ordered on the shows looked normal sized, not xl so the answer couldnt be the size
>>
>>20977978
just make them at home
i made this 16" for like $5

I remember when a large was 16 inch, not the current 12 to 14 inch range.
>>
>>20977978
I 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 pizza
Where 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.
>>
>>20978023
Is there people really that autistic that they plan out ordering a pizza with a pre-made checklist and contingencies?

if 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
>>
>>20978015
Trudeau 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.
>>
>>20979867
You 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)

I 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.

bruh, 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

Tell me how gentrification is bad for me? I already know why it’s bad for you, you think 40 dollars is a lot.
>>
>>20978321
So 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.
>>
>>20979886
What 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.
>>
>>20979873
Fiat 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.

lmao 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
>>
>>20979966
You have to take into account that you're buying $20 of any meat but only using $0.03 of it.
>>
>>20978023
That's cool and all, but here in reality you order pizza directly from the store, not an imaginary third party.

Yeah, and everyone will have tons of money and inflation will go back down and things will go back to traditional values and it'll be like heaven and everyone will start clapping and, and-

And it's never going to happen. Every politician is a goddamn crook and liar, and nothing ever gets better. It's always been a decline, no matter who was in office, and the sheer naivety and optimism I see from anyone who believes in the snake oil salesmen and their empty promises when politics is a decaying corpse just pisses me right the fuck off. Americans are fundamentally incapable as a people of improving.
