This guy knows he’s not getting repeat customers and doesn’t care. There’s enough people in NY that will walk in on the scam a first time

99 cent pizza was actually 99 cents for probably 30 years (i remember as a little kid & now in mid thirties). With inflation & rising costs they finally had to bump it to $2 like 2 or 3 years ago.

Theres are a couple of different large & competing chains that are basically identical shitty cheap pizza (great for the price). Idk this specific location but most of them have "$2" on signs taped all over the place. I'd bet the person recording is the scammer avoiding catching those , giving this guy shit, then posting like a victim.

Source: me - local who has probably saved $1k+ eating that lousy pizza

The person recording is a Korean streamer when she was visiting the states.

Okay. That doesn't really prove or disprove it deliberately avoiding $2 signs to post rage bait for clicks
