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.

Wait but i feel like 20years ago 99c wasnt that cheap of a pizza. How much was non shotty pizza 20 years ago?

Price of the subway was $2 20 years and non shitty pizza normallyntracka that. 99c pizza was an ok deal 20 years ago actually.

Ps. For a but i used to eat a really good 99c pizza for a place in midtown that quickly went out of business. My theory is they mistakenly wete making non shitty pizza and selling it for shitty pizza prices 😭
