I tend to buy pizza sauce, which is more expensive than pureed tomato. Cheap pizza sauce is about US$2-4 but I sometimes splurge on more expensive pizza sauce.

As long as you don't claim that it's impossible to make half-decent pizza with cheaper ingredients ...

How big are those $4 pizza sauce portions, anyway? I use maybe 50-100ml of tomato sauce for one pizza.

14 oz. how are you using 100ml for a pizza? Perhaps my pizzas are bigger than yours?

My pizzas are flat and not completely dripping with sauce or cheese. As Italy intended.

Italians would be disgusted with my fondness for garlic. Now that I think about it, I can make 4 pizzas with 14 oz of sauce, or 1 deep dish pizza.

German here, too.

Deep Dish Pizza is not Pizza.

I make pizza from scratch regularly, 1,50 Euro per Pizza is absolutely doable. Even with a topping or two. My personal favorite is pepperoni (the vegetable, not the sausage), which is cheap. My kid likes salami best. These two together will cost me about 2,60 Euro w/o counting the energy for the oven. That's 1,30 per serving.
