$1.50 how? Is he having a sliced tomato on cardboard?
Yeah seriously; I made pizza at home once, and the basic ingredients ended up costing more than getting pizza for takeout. So even though it was fun, I never attempted it again.
It shouldn't be more expensive than takeout. You have to do everything from scratch for it to be cheap though. Flour, yeast, olive oil, canned tomatoes/spices, and a block of mozzarella to shred yourself. Wait for a good sale on the mozzarella.
It's not super duper cheap but even dominoes is getting expensive these days, and making it yourself should be healthier too.
Note that this is not hard and you can do it in a cast iron skillet. Flour oil warm water salt and yeast, let it rise, roll it out. Put it in the oiled skillet on the burner and cook it while you top it, then pop the whole thing in the oven at 500 to bake. You can add literally any thing you want. A good sauce is just blending canned whole peeled tomatoes with some oil and salt. Add garlic, basil, anchovies, do whatever you want.
No way does it have cheese.
I could do the dough, probably. A jar of sauce is over, a can of tomatoes is over, hell 3 to 4 regular ass tomatoes are over that.
Well you steal the ingredients and then throw a buck fifty in the homeless dude's can outside the store. Best guess. Also I approve of this method.

Did you know that if you spend $70 on ingredients and 4 hours in the kitchen you can make a burger that is superior to anything at McDonalds or Burger King? Follow me for more lifestyle tips!
I could probably do it for $5, especially if I'm allowed to shop in the EU and it only counts the ingredients that I actually use for the burger.
Hell, 20$ at a Ramen Shop will get me something superior than anything at McDonalds or Burger King

Why even make pizza? What is it really? Bread, cheese, toppings, and tomato sauce. I can knock that down to $0.25 or less per pizza.
Take a slice of bread, spread with tomato sauce, top with cheese and toppings, then broil until toppings melt. Want a calzone? Add a second piece of bread on top of the end, broil until toasted.
Boom. Pizza.
.../s ?
Definitely closer to a proper pizza than those deepdish "pizzas".

We have a pizza stone, clay stone you preheat… we don’t make a lot of homemade pizza but we have pizza parties every now and again… cost more than 1 per pizza though but when everybody makes it together it’s fun…. You get one or two really good pizzas and then one or two really awful pizzas though unless you use a consistent recipe if you’re making homemade dough you need to do it the day before…. There are some good instant dough recipes though but day before doughs are always better generally
I'm sorry but you can't make a pizza for a $1.50 unless he live in Cambodia
How fucking expensive are white flour, pureed tomato and cheap mozzarella in your parts? Last time I made pizza at home, the basic ingredients (without any fancy toppings) cost like $0.5 per portion, and I live in Germany, not some poor third world country.
it probably cost me $10+ to make a pizza at home in the USA.
8oz Cheese is expensive. a couple of tomatoes cost the same.
IMO, 8 oz cheese is way too much for one pizza, I use maybe 2-3 and using fresh tomatoes is just unnecessary work that's also a lot more expensive than prepackaged pureed tomatoes (in part because cheap tomatoes taste like water, which doesn't happen with cheap pureed tomatoes).
That said, 8.8 oz of cheap mozzarella cost about 1.40€ here. How much do you pay for that?
cheap crap moz is like 5-6 dollars. the good stuff is like 12.
Dang.

Cost of store brand premade pizza: $6-8, 15 minutes cook time, versus Cost of homemade pizza:
$2.00 for half block of store brand mozzarella cheese (Pre-shredded cheese has additives in it to keep it from clumping.) 1/2 onion - $0.50 2 cloves garlic $0.25 4 ounces tomato paste $0.50 Dry basil, oregano, bay leaf, parsley, paprika $0.10 2 cups flour $0.30 Packet of yeast $0.30
Total cost of ingredients: $4.45 Ingredient wise, I’m saving $1 - 4.
The real cost is time. Prep time/clean time: Making dough, chopping veg, making sauce, shredding cheese, bake time, and washing dishes, is 2.5 hours (My hourly wage is $28) so that’s a $70 cost in terms of time. That cost will be variable depending on a person’s hourly wage. Looks like premade, frozen, store brand gets you the best bang for the buck.
where do you live? where i live all that is easily double or triple the price.
if i want to make pizza i'm spending $20-30 on basic ingredients that might get me 2-3 12" pizzas.
I live in New York state. I can get a $3.00 bag of flour that will net me about 20 cups of flour. I buy individual onions, and an individual onion might cost close to $1. Mozzarella cheese is close to $4 a brick (16 ounces) and I used half for my recipe. A bulb of garlic cost $1, usually 8 good sized cloves in one bulb. (If I can shop at my local Asian market instead of the normal grocery store, I can get like 3 bulbs of garlic for $1.) 8 ounce can of tomato paste for $1. Store brand yeast cost $1 and come as a 3 pack. Spices cost quite a bit when you purchase a brand new bottle, but you can make many meals with your bottle of spice. Not sure if I under or over estimated on the spices.
I purchase large quantities of store brand ingredients where ever possible, and the supplies I buy will make more than 1 pizza. I attempted to break down the cost per pizza, based on the quantity of ingredients I use in my recipe.
in a rural area in western NY? I'd believe you.
In NYC a bag of flour is like 6-10 dollars. I just bought flour two weeks ago and it was 7 bucks for the cheap crap. A thing of oatmeal, is $5.
Albany, NY, in the city, not the surrounding suburbs or a more rural area.
albany is the boonies yo.

I wish I could make a pizza at home for $1.50. For $1.50, I can make the crust. No sauce, no cheese, no toppings.
"Hey, Jimmy, gimme a pie with nothin'!"
"Nothin'?"
It is still cheaper to buy everything for a pepperoni or cheese pizza to make at home than even a Little Ceasars pizza, tho. Can make a bigger pizza, too.
