    I suppose if you view it that way, that is true. I see pizza as a specialty though, and not really a regular staple, so if I want some I’m going to go to the local parlor that can get me a super good pizza for like $18 plus tax. If I only do that once every month or so I want it to be really good.

      Pizza is the food of the poor, it’s the low cost to make, low cost to buy fast food for when McDonald’s is too expensive. It’s one of the cheapest doughs doused in a sauce made of one of the cheapest vegetables topped with what should be the cheapest cured meat and the cheapest possible cheese.

      If you’re paying $18 for a large you’re buying the owner a fucking mansion. There’s no reason for that price except pure unadulterated greed.
