What kind of pizza's were they? Were they supreme's or meat lover's, or what?

I switch back and forth from the budget chain pizza places to the "real" places. The independents are usually 16-22 bucks.

Papa Johns typically isn't on my list, not a huge fan. Still haven't had Dominos since they changes the recipe. Typically hit the local Georgios or Little Caesars for cheap food.
Good pizza places are all over my area back home, still looking for something decent here down south.

Usually I go with either Papa John's or Dominos when we get chain pizza. But when I put the order in my cart at Papa John's first, it was almost exactly the same price. Although I think with Papa John's they may have been large pies instead of medium.

It was $43 (with tax) if I would have gone to pick it up, but tack on the delivery fee ($3) and the driver tip ($7) and it brought it to $53. I looked at Papa Johns first, but their freaking delivery fee is more than $5 now, which is just crazy.

$20 US for 2 medium pizzas here ( and good ones too)

I just looked at my preferred pizza joint here and they're charging $24.99 per medium for similar pies as yours, which is freakin' crazy. A large 1-topping at my joint would cost close to $18 before tax. I could go get ingredients and make 18-20 pizzas by myself for that much.

I think I'll stick with Little Caesars.

So why are they doing it. Genuine response to inflation, or are they trying their luck?

Or can most people afford this?

Budget pizza at premium prices.

I don't honestly know. They'd claim inflation, but without seeing the prices of supplies, how could you really tell?

If people weren't buying the pies at those prices, the prices would fall back down or they'd go out of business, so obviously people are paying the prices.

See? It's gotten freaking crazy.

Yeah our local place is about $50 for 2 pizzas now.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

It had been well over a year since we last ordered pizza and it might be another year before we do it again.

I dont mind making food at home, I'm just not a fan of the shopping

Maybe they are holding that price and happy to sell less pies at higher cost.

Agreed though, some people can afford that - or are prepared to pay it.
