The 99 cent slice made it’s mark in NYC a few years back. Now there is a price war between some of the purveyors of the 99 cent slice, and they’re down to 75 cents a slice. Will it stop there?
Initially, my reaction to a dirt cheap, large slice of pizza in NYC is that there has to be something wrong with that. What could it possibly taste like?
Then I’m reminded that even with the best ingredients — Caputo 00 and San Marzano’s — I can make a pretty good slice of pizza for very little money.
What do you think about the 75 cent slice? Have you had one? Have you calculated what it costs you to make a top quality Margherita pie in your oven? It’s probably a lot less than you think, and I’m sure it will taste better than those cheap NYC slices.
