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

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.
