Hi all,

I have several related questions that I hope to get answers to.

PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!
Stay on topic for this thread.
ALL OF THE QUESTIONS have a simple answer; a Dollar amount or weight.

PLEASE; I don’t want details or long explanations 🙂 Make it easy on yourselves when responding; simple, brief answers will help me much more than long, elaborate answers.

These questions are for everyone; enthusiasts and owners…

Are you a home Pizza enthusiast or a business owner?

IN your geographic location, how much does it cost you to make ONE 14" Cheese Pizza with sauce and Mozzarella Cheese?

Simply your total cost to make ONE 14" Cheese Pizza.

Thank you so much for these answers.

@Daddio how much does a pizza cost in your area of Canada?

I did not answer that question because the price variance is far too great to make a good judgment. The range is from $6 to $20 for a 14" Basic cheese pizza.

Thanks! I live in Mexico. It is really great to see how the prices vary from different parts of the world.

Mexicans are a culture / world unto themselves. Right next to the USA but as third world as it gets. Similar to places in Africa.

I couldn’t tell you off the top of my head, at this moment, how much a 14" pie costs here. Like everything else, they change everything that’s Western World Origin into something weird.

For example, hamburgers become giant Flying Saucers with HUGE buns and a super thin piece of meat that’s over cooked with lots of lettuce and tomatoes. Where’s the beef? And, the hot dogs are the worst i’ve ever had on the planet. They can’t import hot dogs from the USA cause they don’t allow ground beef products; they’re worried about mad cow disease. Somebody forgot to tell these goofballs that hot dogs, that come in the package, are pre COOKED.

Locally, they make the worst Pizza I’ve ever tasted in the entire world. They have no concept of a 12" or a 14" pizza. They sell pizza using names, and not all of the places use the same size for the names. You have Familia, Mediana and others. I’d have to go to a place, take a tape measure and then try and get them to tell me (my spanish is not so good) how to match the name to a size I understand.

When Mexicans cook western / European style food, they use the lowest quality ingredients and have no clue as to normal preparation methods. I watched one guy cook a pizza one day. The oven door was open 3/4 of the entire cooking process. Sometimes as long as 30 seconds at a time. He had to inspect the bottom at least 25 times during the process. The pizza never got very brown, it was NUTS.
