    sysco delivery charge

    I also pay a fuel surcharge. My prices have only gone up on flour so far as my salesman explained they could try to hide the cost in the product by raising prices but prefere to keep prices the same and adjust the fuel surcharge to reflect the cost of fuel.

    Little Ceasars

    I can ony imagine the volume they would have to have to make money at that price point. I prefere to sell less pizza for more money A friday night with 100 orders at 27.00 avg ticket price sounds better to me then 270 orders at 10 bucks a pop!
