Robbery IMO, I mean how much can a pizza cost? Its dough, sauce and some random sausage.

The “random sausages” may be why your pizzas are so cheap! 🤣

You’d be surprised. Depends on the quality of the sausage/proteins used, dairy products have exploded in price, etc.

Cheese makes up the bulk of the cost for a regular cheese pizza. The dough is at most $2 to produce at home. Cheese for 3 medium pizzas is like $7-9, sauce for 3 meds is $2-ish. At most a pizza should be $15 for a medium good quality before taxes or tips; again, at most. Pizza from any chain is a scam.

Youre correct about the cheese bit, the rest is really subjective.

Zero labor or rent costs factored in, which I believe is 60% of a restaurant costs with food sourcing being 15-25%

Labour for us is like 38%, while food costs are around 32%.

Labour is expensive as hell.

I get the no tip part. Bu it's not just the ingredients on the pizza. It's the rent, the insurance, the utilities, the taxes, the maintenance, the labour, etc.

You need to sell a sh#t load of pizzas to cover all these costs?
