The price of pizza is soaring in the Big Apple thanks to a dyspeptic recipe of inflationary food costs, a global supply-chain crisis and national labor shortage.
The sticker shock is hitting pizza-passionate Gothamites right in the gut.
“It’s a little bit scary at times,” said Slone Elias, a customer at 2 Bros. Pizza on Eighth Avenue in Chelsea. “Eventually it’s going to reflect in rising food prices at every restaurant.”

For 1 dollar a slice it must be the suckist pizza in the world. Of course that is what most pizza is these days. Most people don’t even seem to remember when pizza was good. Today they think pizza is a burrito shell with some tomato soup soaked in. Nothing more.
Not to mention the demise of the dollar store.

Pizza is made out of flour, tomato sauce and cheese. None of these things are in short supply or imported.

We get it that you love $50 pizzas served with wine, but When you’re on a budget or a college kid just making things meet financially, it’s heaven.
The so-called suckiest NYC dollah slice is better than any gourmet foodie scum slice anywhere else in the USA.
This is said with my 7 years living in the city and then coming back west. It’s the sauce and the gluten development in the crust.
Thin-crust pizza for all!
Never again will you have to work your way through that big fat dry tasteless crust at the end just not to waste food.
Thin is in.
When I went to visit Oregon a few years ago, I ordered a plain slice and the server said “Ranch?”
An entire homemade pizza costs about a dollar.
I didn’t think there’s been dollar slices in Manhattan since the eighties.
When I buy tomatoes at the neighborhood supermarket, 2/3 types are from Mexico.
Pizza in NYC was $1 a slice when I was a kid. Maybe in the 4th grade. I recall it went up to like $1.10 when I was that age and used to buy a slice for lunch. It was at least $2 by the time I was 18...more when I was in my 20’s.
That’s about right...mid-late 80’s. I think it rose to $1.10 in probably 1985 or 1986 IIRC and then took off upward after that.
December 2019, I know for a fact that this pizza place had slices for $1 and was open at 0430 for the late night crowds coming out of tribeca. I am sure now that they are not a buck but in Dec under the Donald they certainly were.

Ranch?
When I was a kid growing up in Brooklyn, NY we would get a whole pizza for $1.50. It tasted great was always such a treat. Now you get a mediocre pizza for $13 to $15!
gotta get the really good ones

Though I suppose that, by now, it might end up looking like an oversized canapé.
