Price of Pizza

easilyfound

How much should a plain slice of pizza cost? I just spent $6 for a plain slice and a slice with sausage. Seemed high to me but what do I know?

Where did you manage to get ripped off like that

For $5, Dom Demarco will let you just take a whiff of a slice of pizza he made with his own bare hands.....and make you wait two hours for it.

Depends on where to went. Popular places, say in the Difara range can cost you $5 a slice. If you went to a greasy corner joint with no hype then maybe it should have been two dollars less. Most slices are from $2-3 nowadays.... yes I read too much of Serious Eats 'Slice' blog.

wait $6 for both slices? seems fine to me then. i'd say between $2-$4 a slice.

A plain slice has traditionally always been approximately the same price as a subway token (or subway fare, since they eliminated tokens). That puts a standard slice at $2.25 for now.

At the pizza places near me , a small cheese pizza = 4 decent slices costs $5-$7 depending on if you add a topping.

the going rate for the regular places is between $2.25 (my local) to around $2.75 for a plain slice... toppings are more at least 50c i think. So, 2.75 + 2.75 + 0.50 = 6.00

So that seems within line of not crazy. Difara's is crazy...

Long live Di Faro!

Grew up in the hood. remember when a slice was ,, 15 cents.
But when the old man is gone.. I will be on board with evaluating the TRUTH about what a slice is worth!

i take the bus up fifth avenue and...

1. luigis pizza 686 5th @22nd st
first lunch: "home-made sopressato" slice ($2.75 depending on server's mood) thin crust, nice sauce, sells out by 4pm

2. little buddy biscuit, 635 5th @18th st
second lunch and sweet treat: chicken n' biscuit pot pie with a side of lemon bar, always friendly service

3. eagle provisions 628 5th @18th st
meaty take-home treats: super-smoked pork chops or kielbasi, cheese pierogies... sometimes rude service at eagle, but i shouldn't be eating in there

4. wait for bus and ponder the aaron's sign
"aaron's. if you're husband's not in the business"

I love this guy. He's trying to eat a slice at every place in NYC. So far he's been concentrating in Harlem and UWS

Why do you think my OP was not sincere?
