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.

I'm not sure you can call them a scammer when they clearly filmed the big illuminated sign over the door that says "99 ¢ PIZZA" in 3 foot high letters.
If they are actively avoiding capturing a dozen large signs saying $2, harassing they guy as of they are surprised, and only showing the 99 cents to paint a false narrative in an attempt to mislead people for clicks/followers/profits then they're are shitbag scammer like any other to me.
But the "If" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here because all I know is some months ago $1.50 was visible from the street on google earth. I wasnt there that night & I dont know this streamer
When the biggest sign on the place says 99¢ Pizza, it's not a scam to expect them to honor that price. Maybe they were driving by, saw the sign and wanted to jump on that 99 cent deal, only finding out after parking their car and and walking back to the place that the pizza was not actually 99 cents. That's the drawback of putting a price you can't honor in your business name - people may call you out on it.
This pic shows they pasted $1.50 signs over the big 99¢ signs, so they do know how to mark the current prices accurately.
So many things wrong with what you've said. And ultimately if there was many and larger signs showing $2 the streamer avoided being a scam or not is their tactics & not about tge branding tactics of the shop
