A) Because they're willing to sell it for that much, and you're willing to pay that much.
B) The government forces them to sell it at that price.

It's really not that hard if you're willing to try it. First couple times you'll probably make a few mistakes, but after that you'll get better and it won't seem so hard.

It's just making dough, pizza sauce, cheese, and whatever toppings you want. Most of which you don't even have to make from scratch.

I made it weekly, well no, a bit less than bi weekly on average, for a while the last semester of college and I could never get how to spin the dough out properly. It was almost always uneven and shitty. Even the sauce and cheese was difficult to spread out evenly. Anyway it wasn't inedible or anything, was pretty good, but that was for life in the middle of nowhere. Haven't really bothered since I graduated.

There are two types of "homemade pizza chefs". The first is a soylord who tries to use fancy ingredients to give an impression of refinement but it ends up unpleasant and unfulfilling. Usually doing dumb shit like not using cheese or gross ingredients like >>13885986

Then there are the bro cooks who suck at forming dough and usually do something childish like slapping so much meat and cheese on it that it is greasy on the top and not thoroughly cooked on the bottom, like >>13879729

Next to sushi it has one highest profit margins. ALL pizza no matter the company costs like 1-2 bucks to make a large. Thats with labor, bills, food cost inc. T. Fmr Pizza store manager. Sushi is one of the funniest scams on the plant. Koreans take Japanese poor people food and sell it at 1000x cost of ingredients. Rice, seaweed and a few pennies of frozen fish lol. BTW. ALLL... ALLL sushi meat is frozen. I have had way better sushi in USA than anywhere I have been in Japan. One of the best sushi I had was in Taiwan tho. I dont care for sushi, wife likes it... Come to think of it last time I ate sushi was in Yokohama Japan last summer.

delivery pizza is only expensive for me since i only ever order something stupid when i'm drunk and suddenly decide that i need pizza that very instant. for this reason, i honestly have little opinion on the fast food pizza places by me. making at home is pretty easy, the only tedious thing is the dough since i like using sourdough starter in mine, and i do not always have this on hand. a pizza peel and steel/stone is an absolute must as well, so some investment is required.
