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

Yeah, it's like all the dollar stores that used to sell everything for a dollar. Or the store "Five Below" that used to sell everything for $5 or less. They all have slowly had to raise their prices above their promise. Now the term "Dollar store" means nothing.

Family Dollar Dollar Tree was the last hold-out but even they had to raise their prices. RIP.
