How much is a slice of pizza?

[rh71]

I remember the days of $1.25. Now I'm paying $2.90 per regular slice (not as part of a pie). Am I wrong that this is crazy high even with inflation? NY (LI).

I don't think I've bought a slice since I was in high school.

You're in New York, be thankful they haven't figured out how to make you pay for breathing.

$2.90 a slice is still excellent price. I pay $2 for slice at Costco. That's the only place I buy pizza.

Place in Berkeley that I hit now and then is $4 a slice for just ok pizza.

For me, usually a slice is 1/8 of a pizza.

My fav place doesn't list prices by the slice (they might just do pizza's, not slices), but a medium is 11:50.

Love me some cup & char.

I remember when 241 had a $2 deal on 2 slices and a pop. Been a long time since I got that deal, but last I checked quite a few years ago it's not a deal anymore, it was like over $5. May as well pay $20 or whatever and get a full pizza.

There was something about getting the slices though, they sit all day under the heat lamps and they taste so good, basically slow cooking all day.

^ $5 CAD is $3.77 US which is dirt cheap for 2 slices and a drink. Ours is something like $7 and they advertise that as a "lunch special". Oy vey. Maybe 10 years ago it was half that and THAT was a deal.

Costco is $1.99 but it reality it is like two slices. Wife can only eat one Costco slice.

Well...yeah, can't cut a pizza into more than 8 pieces...no one could eat it if it was cut into 12 or more...

People eat less than half a pizza in a sitting? Weird

Whoa, big spender. It was a dime a dozen.

I think it was like 2 shekels but went up a little after that time they were not allowed to sell goods in the temple anymore. Jesus got pretty mad at that and they had to sell from the market which has more overhead costs to operate.

Back in Boomer's day, a nickel bought you a steak dinner for two, a night at the cinema (moving pictures, they called them), a ride on the trolley, AND you still had enough left over for a haircut, shave, and a shoe shine!

a night at the cinema (moving pictures, they called them)

The pictures moved, but they had a live piano player playing the soundtrack, and you occasionally had to read the screen.

I think a slice at our local pizzeria here is $2-$2.50. For $5 you get a drink and a bag of chips or a cookie IIRC. 1 slice usually doesn't fill me up. It's not a costco slice for sure.

Also in NY where they have "Real Pizza".
Don't eat much Pizza anymore but do have it occasionally
Range is $14-$19 for a pie in my neck of the woods. I can't remember for the life of me what average prices were for a slice in the immediate area. Last time I picked up slices for the kids was at some random place where it was 2.50 per (or maybe 2.25...can't remember)
In NYC you can still find old school pricing on slices. Last time I was in Queens\Harlem I vaguely recall $1.somethin slices from small shops.

Then there is always this. If I recall correctly, as "meh" as this pizza was it was a bajillion times better than any Pizzshit hut\Papa whatevers\Box Store\mid west pretend pizza place\. However I may have been starving or drunk at the time a couple of years since I was in midtown
