i mean granted, it's WELL worth the $14
you'd have a difficult time finding a mediocre pizza here

A Margherita is just a cheese pizza in a lot of Europe.

Confused me for a while too

Those prices aren't too far off from about $8 overall.

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yeah, but a mergherita is only 5€, most of those pizzas have a lot of ingredients and still don't go higher than 10€, some of the replies say that they pay a mergherita 14$ which is crazy considering how much a margherita is simple

[–] Brosplosion@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 days ago

We had three large pizzas delivered (16") and the total came out to $95

Here in Italy i pay 4€ or even 3€ in some places πŸ™

[–] maltasoron@sopuli.xyz 14 points 3 days ago

Well, they got to ship them from Italy to the US, so that makes sense

[–] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

At Lago di Como it was around 8€ 😒 But it is a huge tourist area.

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Yeah, that's scam, and since it's a tourist area they just put high prices, i suggest to ask local people about good restourant that aren't tourist traps, they usually know

[–] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 4 points 3 days ago

I noticed this when I visited Marseille recently. I couldn't believe how cheap pizza is!

It's not uncommon to see large pizzas for $30+ in my area (which tbf is expensive even for america). I think American pizza does often have more toppings, but not enough more.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 days ago

The price has gone up so much in the past ten years or so.
