Yeah seriously; I made pizza at home once, and the basic ingredients ended up costing more than getting pizza for takeout. So even though it was fun, I never attempted it again.
It shouldn't be more expensive than takeout. You have to do everything from scratch for it to be cheap though. Flour, yeast, olive oil, canned tomatoes/spices, and a block of mozzarella to shred yourself. Wait for a good sale on the mozzarella.
It's not super duper cheap but even dominoes is getting expensive these days, and making it yourself should be healthier too.
Note that this is not hard and you can do it in a cast iron skillet. Flour oil warm water salt and yeast, let it rise, roll it out. Put it in the oiled skillet on the burner and cook it while you top it, then pop the whole thing in the oven at 500 to bake. You can add literally any thing you want. A good sauce is just blending canned whole peeled tomatoes with some oil and salt. Add garlic, basil, anchovies, do whatever you want.
Yeah, that's scam, and since it's a tourist area they just put high prices, i suggest to ask local people about good restourant that aren't tourist traps, they usually know
I noticed this when I visited Marseille recently. I couldn't believe how cheap pizza is!
It's not uncommon to see large pizzas for $30+ in my area (which tbf is expensive even for america). I think American pizza does often have more toppings, but not enough more.
Yeah, but a mergherita is only 5€, most of those pizzas have a lot of ingredients and still don't go higher than 10€, some of the replies say that they pay a mergherita 14$ which is crazy considering how much a margherita is simple
I went through a local boba place’s website to order for a few months. Would order, walk there, and it would be ready right as I arrived, all very neat.
Then I found out my $9 order was $5 for a drink and $4 for door dash, who apparently runs the site? I don’t want to contribute to door dash becoming ticketmaster, but restaurants opt-in to that shit willingly.
Now I’m paying half price in person and wasting 5-10 minutes each time. Can’t win.
Yep, I started calling every restaurant to order years ago. Fuck having a bunch of unnecessary apps on my phone and fuck paying some unnecessary intermediary company a cut.
Did you know that if you spend $70 on ingredients and 4 hours in the kitchen you can make a burger that is superior to anything at McDonalds or Burger King? Follow me for more lifestyle tips!
Takes a long time for the dough to rise, but at least where I love you can by premade dough if you wanna sacrifice some quality for a faster process. And then it's like a 20 min job.
We make multiple dough balls and freeze them. That way if we are going to have pizza for dinner we just leave the frozen dough to defrost and rise in a bowl when we're at work.
Good strategy if you have the room in your freezer. We've tried that before, but unfortunately I have a really narrow freezer and can't fit a decent sized pizza in there.
You can make and freeze dough, too. I do a batch of cold fermented pizza dough and then divide the balls into mason jars and put them in the freezer. Not that much work. Just have to remember to pull the jar out lunchtime for dinner pizza.
Why even make pizza? What is it really? Bread, cheese, toppings, and tomato sauce. I can knock that down to $0.25 or less per pizza.
Take a slice of bread, spread with tomato sauce, top with cheese and toppings, then broil until toppings melt. Want a calzone? Add a second piece of bread on top of the end, broil until toasted.
Cost of store brand premade pizza: $6-8, 15 minutes cook time, versus Cost of homemade pizza:
$2.00 for half block of store brand mozzarella cheese (Pre-shredded cheese has additives in it to keep it from clumping.)
1/2 onion - $0.50
2 cloves garlic $0.25
4 ounces tomato paste $0.50
Dry basil, oregano, bay leaf, parsley, paprika $0.10
2 cups flour $0.30
Packet of yeast $0.30
Total cost of ingredients: $4.45 Ingredient wise, I’m saving $1 - 4.
The real cost is time. Prep time/clean time: Making dough, chopping veg, making sauce, shredding cheese, bake time, and washing dishes, is 2.5 hours (My hourly wage is $28) so that’s a $70 cost in terms of time. That cost will be variable depending on a person’s hourly wage. Looks like premade, frozen, store brand gets you the best bang for the buck.
Also the cost of actually cooking the thing. Doesn't take long but oven has to be proper hot. The cost will be negligible compared to the ingredients, but many people are carefully watching their utility bills right now.
There is the long term benefit of using fresher, safer ingredients. Pizza places are a mixed bag on that front, but you do have a better idea of the number of rotting mouse carcasses under your counter, compared to someone else’s
I live in New York state. I can get a $3.00 bag of flour that will net me about 20 cups of flour. I buy individual onions, and an individual onion might cost close to $1. Mozzarella cheese is close to $4 a brick (16 ounces) and I used half for my recipe. A bulb of garlic cost $1, usually 8 good sized cloves in one bulb. (If I can shop at my local Asian market instead of the normal grocery store, I can get like 3 bulbs of garlic for $1.) 8 ounce can of tomato paste for $1. Store brand yeast cost $1 and come as a 3 pack. Spices cost quite a bit when you purchase a brand new bottle, but you can make many meals with your bottle of spice. Not sure if I under or over estimated on the spices.
I purchase large quantities of store brand ingredients where ever possible, and the supplies I buy will make more than 1 pizza. I attempted to break down the cost per pizza, based on the quantity of ingredients I use in my recipe.
I wish I could make a pizza at home for $1.50. For $1.50, I can make the crust. No sauce, no cheese, no toppings.
"Hey, Jimmy, gimme a pie with nothin'!"
"Nothin'?"
It is still cheaper to buy everything for a pepperoni or cheese pizza to make at home than even a Little Ceasars pizza, tho. Can make a bigger pizza, too.
How fucking expensive are white flour, pureed tomato and cheap mozzarella in your parts? Last time I made pizza at home, the basic ingredients (without any fancy toppings) cost like $0.5 per portion, and I live in Germany, not some poor third world country.
IMO, 8 oz cheese is way too much for one pizza, I use maybe 2-3 and using fresh tomatoes is just unnecessary work that's also a lot more expensive than prepackaged pureed tomatoes (in part because cheap tomatoes taste like water, which doesn't happen with cheap pureed tomatoes).
That said, 8.8 oz of cheap mozzarella cost about 1.40€ here. How much do you pay for that?
I tend to buy pizza sauce, which is more expensive than pureed tomato. Cheap pizza sauce is about US$2-4 but I sometimes splurge on more expensive pizza sauce.
I make pizza from scratch regularly, 1,50 Euro per Pizza is absolutely doable. Even with a topping or two. My personal favorite is pepperoni (the vegetable, not the sausage), which is cheap. My kid likes salami best. These two together will cost me about 2,60 Euro w/o counting the energy for the oven. That's 1,30 per serving.
Unfortunately you don’t buy groceries by the portion in the US. Not sure if that’s done in Europe either. The cost of the ingredients you buy is baked into the cost of the pizza. Just because you have leftovers doesn’t make it cheaper.
That's only true if you don't use up the leftovers. Flour lasts a long time and has countless uses, there's lots of recipes that use pureed tomatos (which also last a fair amount of time in the fridge, and months in the freezer) and nothing could be easier than using up cheese.
Alternatively, just make more pizza. If you have a party, it shouldn't be too hard to use up most of the ingredients.
$3.99 for a frozen pizza? Either the only eat gourmet brands (those do exist), or they have some seriously whack pricing. Cheap frozen pizza should be like $1.
Surely there's a middleground between the absolute cheapest, and $3.99 frozen pizza. Frankly, I don't believe that the expensive ones are actually that much healthier than a, say, $2 frozen pizza.
I would say $3.99 is the middle ground, at least where I'm from. Most frozen pizzas are more like $7 or $8 with some of the fancier ones going up over $10
It's basically white bread with a little cheese and tomato sauce. If you bought those ingredients separately, you'd pay like $0.5 for them, depending on how much cheese you use (cheap pizza uses very little cheese in my parts).
Is that usd? In Germany the cheap stuff like Aldi is 3 pizzas for 3 euro, the mid range is 3.49 per pizza (ofenfrische), often on promotion for around 2.20, and the real quality stuff, handmade and wood oven cooked (italpizza, Freda, Dr Oetker supreme) between 5 and 7 euros.
The cheapest pizza available at my local grocery store is $2 for the totinos party “pizza”. Then Tony’s and Red Baron around 4-6, with digiorno at like 7 and lots and lots from 7-12
>rob my neighbors at lunchtime
>Made out with $40 cash and free pizza

Don't use glue then.
How else am I meant to make the cheese stick?
Nobody told me I have to broil the glue
I am broke and can only pretend putting pepperoni and cheese on a tortilla turns it into a pizza.
:-/
Knock it off, Napoleon! Go make yourself a dang quesa-dilla!
4channers slowly discovering the cost of convenience
$1.50 how? Is he having a sliced tomato on cardboard?
Yeah seriously; I made pizza at home once, and the basic ingredients ended up costing more than getting pizza for takeout. So even though it was fun, I never attempted it again.

A good sauce is just blending canned whole peeled tomatoes with some oil and salt. Add garlic, basil, anchovies, do whatever you want.
I mean it's kind of hard to beat unlimited toppings for $12 at the pizza place I go to, even if you do make everything from scratch.
Oh if it's Blaze pizza or similar that's a huge win haha. I go there and load up the toppings too.
No way does it have cheese.
I could do the dough, probably. A jar of sauce is over, a can of tomatoes is over, hell 3 to 4 regular ass tomatoes are over that.
it's just a very small pizza
Well you steal the ingredients and then throw a buck fifty in the homeless dude's can outside the store. Best guess. Also I approve of this method.
Jeez, pizza cost so much in USA, even by comparing with cost of living i can't belive that a margherita is 8 dollars
wtf where the hell yall getting $8 margherita pizzas
in nyc a small is like $14 😭
Wtf?? 😭
i mean granted, it's WELL worth the $14
you'd have a difficult time finding a mediocre pizza here
Same here on the west coast 💀
A Margherita is just a cheese pizza in a lot of Europe.
Confused me for a while too
Same here in Germany.
Here in Italy i pay 4€ or even 3€ in some places 🙏
Well, they got to ship them from Italy to the US, so that makes sense
At Lago di Como it was around 8€ 😢 But it is a huge tourist area.
Yeah, that's scam, and since it's a tourist area they just put high prices, i suggest to ask local people about good restourant that aren't tourist traps, they usually know
We had three large pizzas delivered (16") and the total came out to $95
I noticed this when I visited Marseille recently. I couldn't believe how cheap pizza is!
It's not uncommon to see large pizzas for $30+ in my area (which tbf is expensive even for america). I think American pizza does often have more toppings, but not enough more.
The price has gone up so much in the past ten years or so.
And how much is it wherever you are? Please give links or pics of menus.

Yeah, but a mergherita is only 5€, most of those pizzas have a lot of ingredients and still don't go higher than 10€, some of the replies say that they pay a mergherita 14$ which is crazy considering how much a margherita is simple
Yeah, I'm an anorexic only guy now
Pizza at home is a whole hobby by itself, not a dinner choice.
I do it from time to time, but if factor my time, each pizza ends up costing like 20 euros, and I don't even have any fancy equipment to amortize...
Much more efficient to do an hour of overtime and order from a local Italian restaurant, if all you want is to eat a good pizza.
Yup I also ended up migrating to the restaurants/cafe's own apps for pickup
I might have 47 food related apps on my phone now but beats a fuggin 30% charge to the restaurant
https://merchants.ubereats.com/au/en/pricing/
I went through a local boba place’s website to order for a few months. Would order, walk there, and it would be ready right as I arrived, all very neat.

Maybe just call them, like in the good old days?
Yep, I started calling every restaurant to order years ago. Fuck having a bunch of unnecessary apps on my phone and fuck paying some unnecessary intermediary company a cut.
Not all restaurants’ sites are this way, so check on a per restaurant basis
Did you know that if you spend $70 on ingredients and 4 hours in the kitchen you can make a burger that is superior to anything at McDonalds or Burger King? Follow me for more lifestyle tips!
Hell, 20$ at a Ramen Shop will get me something superior than anything at McDonalds or Burger King
I could probably do it for $5, especially if I'm allowed to shop in the EU and it only counts the ingredients that I actually use for the burger.
Literally inspired me to make homemade pizza tomorrow
Making own pizza is the way to go for sure, especially when there are like taco leftovers or something. Yummy!
It takes a pretty long time though. I eat pizza first and foremost because it's fast
Takes a long time for the dough to rise, but at least where I love you can by premade dough if you wanna sacrifice some quality for a faster process. And then it's like a 20 min job.
I love you too.
We make multiple dough balls and freeze them. That way if we are going to have pizza for dinner we just leave the frozen dough to defrost and rise in a bowl when we're at work.
I raise, shape, stack (with Saran wrap in between), them freeze em. So all I do is put the topping and toss the bad boys into the oven.
Parchment might work better. Less microplastics, and then it can go straight from freezer to counter to oven without leaving the parchment.
Wtf that's so much smarter. Thank you.
I hope it works! I've been meaning to try rolling them out before freezing them, which also seems pretty smart.
Good strategy if you have the room in your freezer. We've tried that before, but unfortunately I have a really narrow freezer and can't fit a decent sized pizza in there.
That's always the balance between time, quality, and cost. Fast and good js expensive, cheap and fast is crap, cheap and good requires time.
You can make and freeze dough, too. I do a batch of cold fermented pizza dough and then divide the balls into mason jars and put them in the freezer. Not that much work. Just have to remember to pull the jar out lunchtime for dinner pizza.
Frozen pizzas are like 10$ in northern Canada..
That being said, pepperoni is prohibitivly expensive for homemade pizza
Isn't everything expensive in northern Canada? Maybe except snow and ice...
Yes everything is more expensive because of the cost of shipping things up there.
Probably because you are so far from Italy
Why even make pizza? What is it really? Bread, cheese, toppings, and tomato sauce. I can knock that down to $0.25 or less per pizza.

Boom. Pizza.
.../s ?
No /s
This is a great variant to regular pizza when you happen to have the ingredients on hand. I do it all the time.
It's fancy cheese on toast
Italian rarebit.
Definitely closer to a proper pizza than those deepdish "pizzas".

where do you live? where i live all that is easily double or triple the price.
if i want to make pizza i'm spending $20-30 on basic ingredients that might get me 2-3 12" pizzas.
I live in New York state. I can get a $3.00 bag of flour that will net me about 20 cups of flour. I buy individual onions, and an individual onion might cost close to $1.

in a rural area in western NY? I'd believe you.
In NYC a bag of flour is like 6-10 dollars. I just bought flour two weeks ago and it was 7 bucks for the cheap crap. A thing of oatmeal, is $5.
Albany, NY, in the city, not the surrounding suburbs or a more rural area.
albany is the boonies yo.
Making your own pizza is cheap if you don't value your time
I wish I could make a pizza at home for $1.50. For $1.50, I can make the crust. No sauce, no cheese, no toppings.
"Hey, Jimmy, gimme a pie with nothin'!"
"Nothin'?"
It is still cheaper to buy everything for a pepperoni or cheese pizza to make at home than even a Little Ceasars pizza, tho. Can make a bigger pizza, too.
that's focaccia
None pizza?
At least add some left beef.
I just saw what you were referencing here as it randomly showd up on my feed. I was confused by this reply all day until now. 🤣
I'm sorry but you can't make a pizza for a $1.50 unless he live in Cambodia
How fucking expensive are white flour, pureed tomato and cheap mozzarella in your parts? Last time I made pizza at home, the basic ingredients (without any fancy toppings) cost like $0.5 per portion, and I live in Germany, not some poor third world country.
it probably cost me $10+ to make a pizza at home in the USA.
8oz Cheese is expensive. a couple of tomatoes cost the same.
IMO, 8 oz cheese is way too much for one pizza, I use maybe 2-3 and using fresh tomatoes is just unnecessary work that's also a lot more expensive than prepackaged pureed tomatoes (in part because cheap tomatoes taste like water, which doesn't happen with cheap pureed tomatoes).
That said, 8.8 oz of cheap mozzarella cost about 1.40€ here. How much do you pay for that?
cheap crap moz is like 5-6 dollars. the good stuff is like 12.
Dang.
I tend to buy pizza sauce, which is more expensive than pureed tomato. Cheap pizza sauce is about US$2-4 but I sometimes splurge on more expensive pizza sauce.
As long as you don't claim that it's impossible to make half-decent pizza with cheaper ingredients ...
How big are those $4 pizza sauce portions, anyway? I use maybe 50-100ml of tomato sauce for one pizza.
14 oz. how are you using 100ml for a pizza? Perhaps my pizzas are bigger than yours?
My pizzas are flat and not completely dripping with sauce or cheese. As Italy intended.
Italians would be disgusted with my fondness for garlic. Now that I think about it, I can make 4 pizzas with 14 oz of sauce, or 1 deep dish pizza.
German here, too.
Deep Dish Pizza is not Pizza.
I make pizza from scratch regularly, 1,50 Euro per Pizza is absolutely doable. Even with a topping or two. My personal favorite is pepperoni (the vegetable, not the sausage), which is cheap. My kid likes salami best. These two together will cost me about 2,60 Euro w/o counting the energy for the oven. That's 1,30 per serving.
Unfortunately you don’t buy groceries by the portion in the US. Not sure if that’s done in Europe either. The cost of the ingredients you buy is baked into the cost of the pizza. Just because you have leftovers doesn’t make it cheaper.
That's only true if you don't use up the leftovers. Flour lasts a long time and has countless uses, there's lots of recipes that use pureed tomatos (which also last a fair amount of time in the fridge, and months in the freezer) and nothing could be easier than using up cheese.
Alternatively, just make more pizza. If you have a party, it shouldn't be too hard to use up most of the ingredients.
I mean yeah a magherita is cheap but if you want some meat or shrooms or something on it...
True. As everyone knows, Pizza Margherita was invented by Cambodians. /s
But seriously, homemade Margherita is so cheap that it's not particularly hard to fit several toppings into a $1.50-per-pizza budget.
Lidl and aldi sell pizza for less than that
$3.99 for a frozen pizza? Either the only eat gourmet brands (those do exist), or they have some seriously whack pricing. Cheap frozen pizza should be like $1.
what fucking world is frozen pizza $1 usd?
The absolute cheapest thing that tastes like cardboard is still like $4
Like 20 years ago
I think you can get those single serving microwavable frozen pizzas for about a dollar
https://img.rewe-static.de/8089206/29254263_digital-image.png
Technicall not USD since AFAIK you can't buy it in the US.
This is what $1.17 USD for a frozen pizza gets you.
HORK
It's not nearly as short on toppings as the cheap frozen pizzas that I'm used to. Could have been baked longer, though.
... wait, microwavable? Now they lost me.
it's got a little piece of cardboard in the bottom with a reflective coating that acts as a "crisper" of sorts
Party pizzas. I prefer my torilla cheese pepperoni "pizzas" to these bad boys. To each their own though.
A $1 pizza sounds like the kind of thing you get if you don't want your kids to love pizza.
frozen pizza indeed comes in extremely varied quality levels.
the cheapest ones are barely food while the higher range promises more quality and healthy ingredients
Surely there's a middleground between the absolute cheapest, and $3.99 frozen pizza. Frankly, I don't believe that the expensive ones are actually that much healthier than a, say, $2 frozen pizza.
I would say $3.99 is the middle ground, at least where I'm from. Most frozen pizzas are more like $7 or $8 with some of the fancier ones going up over $10
Where I live the cheap frozen pizzas are around $2.50 and the fancy ones can go over $5.
It turns out you can freeze many things
Jacks used to be two bucks on sale and would occupy this role. Now quality has gone down and they're over $5.
I can not comprehend how someone buys a pizza or something for a dollar and goes: yeah, that's human food for consumption.
It's basically white bread with a little cheese and tomato sauce. If you bought those ingredients separately, you'd pay like $0.5 for them, depending on how much cheese you use (cheap pizza uses very little cheese in my parts).
The $1 frozen pizzas have been like $1.50 for a while now.
Not where I live (Germany). The 3-packs are still <$1 per pizza.
I don't know where you live, but the cheapest frozen pizza I've ever seen was $6. The good stuff is like $12-$14
Is that usd? In Germany the cheap stuff like Aldi is 3 pizzas for 3 euro, the mid range is 3.49 per pizza (ofenfrische), often on promotion for around 2.20, and the real quality stuff, handmade and wood oven cooked (italpizza, Freda, Dr Oetker supreme) between 5 and 7 euros.
Yea this is usd
WTF, where do YOU live? Store-brand frozen pizza is like 2.50€ for a 3-pack here (Germany).
The cheapest pizza available at my local grocery store is $2 for the totinos party “pizza”. Then Tony’s and Red Baron around 4-6, with digiorno at like 7 and lots and lots from 7-12
If it was a single pizza pop maybe.
I built an outside oven and hit that up for pizza and bread. Also take the top off for the cast iron so I can slow cook pork shoulder and whatnot.
It's really easy, cheap, high quality.
who pays 8$ for two frozen pizzas though? My go-to vegan Pizza from Lidl is about 1,30€ each.
But yea, making them yourself is even cheaper than that.
