What do you pay for a Pizza?
 

So, I'm at home and my mom is ordering a pizza. She talks about getting some weird pizza with the justification that "it's on special." I look up at the computer screen and it's a $13 large pizza from Papa John's. I was like "On special??"

I spend <$5 on a large pizza, but I get 1-topping and am not too picky.

(edit: don't count tip)

Re: What do you pay for a Pizza?
 

pizza for 5 bucks wtf?!?

a large pizza from any mainstream place is like 15 bucks here after delivery and taxes at least

Re: What do you pay for a Pizza?
 

I pay 5 dollars for a sandwitch, I don't see how 15 bucks for a large pizza is really that bad of a deal. I'd still prefer to cook it myself for half that price.

Re: What do you pay for a Pizza?
 

20-30 dollars

Re: What do you pay for a Pizza?
 

K,

These are the places I order from and the pizzas I usually get:

http://www.northbeachpizza.com/nbp1_menu.htm
(North Beach Special or Verdi Special or Pepperoni/Onion/Extra Cheese)

http://st05.startlogic.com/~amicisco/menu_sf.htm
(Trentino or Pepperoni and Caramelized Onions or Pancetta and Caramelized Onions)

http://www.goathillpizza.com/menu.html
(Special Combination or Pepperoni/Onion/Extra Cheese)

$20-$25 plus tip for a large pizza.

Re: What do you pay for a Pizza?
 

I get pizzas from the exact same places as El D. Only I choose better toppings.

Re: What do you pay for a Pizza?
 

Justin,

Please explain how you are getting pizza for less than five dollars. Also, please start a separate thread so we can discuss how much you should tip on a $4 pizza, because 20% is only 80 cents and somehow that doesn't feel right.

This afternoon I ordered a two topping 18" pizza from Rosati's, with delivery charge it came out to a little over $23. I am not a coupon guy but I had one for a free 12" cheese w/purchase of 18" so I used that. I gave the guy $30 as it's the holidays and I was getting a second pizza for free.

LE,

Let's hear it, bitch.

Re: What do you pay for a Pizza?
 

I didn't realize you have to tip those Peapod guys.

Re: What do you pay for a Pizza?
 

ilya,

I dunno about $5, but I know Domino's is super cheap and runs tons of deals.

Re: What do you pay for a Pizza?
 

never order 1 pizza, at most places 1 pizza is like 13 to 15 bucks, but you can get 2 for about the same price.

Haha true, but OP was clearly referring to a pizza joint, not the frozen aisle. Plus with Totino's you get what you pay for.

That said, I enjoy the CPK pizzas out of the freezer. Safeway runs specials on them for $5 regularly, and I think their regular retail price is $6. Actually, none of the more expensive ones - Tombstone, Freschetta, others - are bad, but Totino's is awful.

I meant =$5 not <$5, oops.

Anyway, Little Caesar's here has $5 "Hot-n-Ready" pizzas. They're take-out only ready to go. Pizza is a lot better than I remember it being as a kid.

I know CiCi's has a bad rep in a lot of places, but ours here is clean/well-run and I like it. I believe it's $4-5 to-go.

Pizza Hut and Papa John's have specials for large 1-topping for $6-$7 pretty regularly.

Domino's has specials all the time and you can usually find a large for $5.

There's a local place called pizza shuttle that has a 10" pizza and a drink for $4.25. Pretty good deal. Being in a college town there are plenty of other local places with deals at least as good as those above.

You didn't like pizza when you were a kid? You have no soul, obv.

Re: What do you pay for a Pizza?
 

Haha, their pizza is a lot better than I remember.

Maybe I need to start a thread called "eating for cheap ppl" except that cheap ppl already know how to do it.

Re: What do you pay for a Pizza?
 

If you are paying less than $10 for a pizza that you aren't cooking yourself, then you are eating really [censored] pizza.

Re: What do you pay for a Pizza?
 

$12 for a large pizza sounds about right. If I have 2 or more friends with me, we always do the $15 for 3 mediums.

At a local pizza place, always use a coupon. You can always get something more for about the same price, be it some soda or wings or another pizza.

Re: What do you pay for a Pizza?
 

This is a terrible poll. You can't get a speciality/supreme type large pizza for under $12 on sale around here($15+ regularly), so the real question you are asking is "How many toppings do you like on pizza?".

And the correct answer is almost assuredly: A lot.

That's a pretty good pizza too. A definitely value.

Re: What do you pay for a Pizza?
 

My favorite though is the Papa John's online special($10.99 for a large 3 topping pizza). I always get spicy Italian sausage, pineapple & onions.

Re: What do you pay for a Pizza?
 

I usually get a papa murphy family size cowboy or milwaukees favorite for $10.99 w/coupon.

I liked Little Cesaers as a kid (20-25 years ago) but now think it's the worst pizza available.

Re: What do you pay for a Pizza?
 

I pay always less than 6$ for a very good pizza but I stay in Thailand...

My favorite pizza is 4.5$.

QFT

Definitely not the best, but $2.50 a person for pizza when you're poor is pretty sick. They're also great when you just want one pizza, as most frachise places hose you when you only order one.

There were a few Pizza Shuttles in my college town. I have since left that town. I wish I had Pizza Shuttle here.

Cheezy bread ftw.

Re: What do you pay for a Pizza?
 

you should not count pick-up only in the price comparison. i'm lazy as hell, and it doesn't matter what it costs if i have to go get it. therefore, OP about little caesar's is null and void. those pizzas suck anyway; i'd rather have 5 totinos

Re: What do you pay for a Pizza?
 

$17- a large sausage and green pepper chicago style pizza from either of the 2 places on campus that sell chicago style

Re: What do you pay for a Pizza?
 

Pizza hut, dominoes, little ceasars all have 5 dollar pizzas that are pretty good. I know some good local places in arkansas where I usually pay 20 bucks for a medium or 25 for a large. but those pizzas kick ass.

Re: What do you pay for a Pizza?
 

Going to college with a town that has a lot of Pizza places provides a lot of really cheap pizza.

Re: What do you pay for a Pizza?
 

I always spend few extra bucks for a quality pizza. Usually $20ish for a large 3 topping pizza.
