    Inflation has really done a number of the price of a Pizza.

    What used to be a "cheap" take away option, is now way to expensive.
    It's become stupid expensive.

    Yeah, $4 slice doesn't have the same ring as $2 slice, does it?
    The best pizza near me is now $35CAD for a large. It's insane. 
    I remember $8 pies.  Buck a slice.
    I forget what a whole Pie cost, but I remember I could get 3 slices and a soda for a little more than a Dollar.  30-35 cents for a slice. I forget what a soda cost but my guess about 25-35 cents. FREE Refills. 
    How fukin old are u?

    Once the second-most common U.S. restaurant type, pizzerias are now outnumbered by coffee shops and Mexican food eateries, according to industry data. Sales growth at pizza restaurants has lagged behind the broader fast-food market for years, and the outlook ahead isn't much brighter.

    "Pizza is disrupted right now," Ravi Thanawala, chief financial officer and North America president at Papa John's International, said in an interview. "That's what the consumer tells us."

    The parent of the Pieology Pizzeria chain filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in December. Others, including the parent of Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza & Wings and Bertucci's Brick Oven Pizza & Pasta, earlier filed for bankruptcy.

    Just made a couple pizza dough balls, and have them fermenting in the fridge. I’m going to make a couple 14 inch Chicago Tavern-Style pies on Wednesday

    It's like having an Outback in the heart of Texas. You don't eat there.  I never heard of them either but then again I am always surprised we still have Dominos and Pizza Hut on Long Island.

    For a while there was a Dominos in my neighborhood when there are at least ten local pizza places around here I can walk to. I was actually surprised at how long the Dominos lasted. It had to have been several years. I never went, but others had to for it to last as long as it did.

    There is a time and place for chains and fast food. Like when you land at 11 pm and have not eaten since 11 am and there is nothing but doritos and granola bars in the hotel pantry. Sometimes you find yourself in strip mall hell, but the "nicer" chains are all closed. Sometimes Dominos is the only option at midnight. That is my personal rule, only eat that stuff when traveling and there are limited options.
