Not even the humble slice of pizza is immune from soaring prices.
Lately, customers have been noticing the extra few dollars on their receipts.
So, it’s no wonder pizza joints are upping their prices to keep up.

“I can afford to go to these places, but I just can’t bring myself to bother.
Not worth what you get.”

“At these prices I’ll never eat there again,” they wrote.
“At $17 I can’t justify buying stuffed crust pizza anymore.
You’re basically paying the price for two whole pizzas,” theywrote.
“Am I Going Crazy or Have the Prices Gone Up an Insane Amount?
“one customer postedon Reddit last year.
But now they’re almost $10???
What gives???
That’s a 30-some percent price increase.”
One commenter did the math, replying, “That’s a 63% and 59% increase.”
Once me and my dad had delivery of one large pizza from Pizza Hut.
And it was like $35.”
But nowadays, many customers say it’s only worth ordering from Domino’s if you have a coupon.
The number of delivery orders fell that quarter, too, by 6.6%.
The moral of that story?
