A large pizza now runs around $18 here in a Midwest suburb, it's getting wild.
- darth_avocado 4y agoIt’s wild out here in California. $18 might get you an entire burrito if you’re lucky.
- notduncansmith 4y agoI’m guessing you were being facetious, but in case any non-California residents don’t catch the joke: My favorite burrito in LA is $7, my second-favorite is $15 but is so large I have to split it with my partner or a friend, and burritos from my favorite taco truck are $9. We are far from $18 burrito territory unless you’re trying to eat expensively.
- mbg721 4y agoBeing in Ohio, we assume that in the Bay Area it costs $15 just to look at a menu.
- fragmede 4y agoIf you're in LA you're far from burrito territory. LA is south of the burrito-taco line. North of the line, burritos are tastier. South of the line, tacos are tastier.
- mbg721 4y agoWhat about the San Diego style burrito?
- gamblor956 4y agoNorth of LA it isn't possible to get a good burrito, taco, quesadilla, or any other Mexican dish. At best, you're getting Mexican-style crap.
- alar44 4y agoWhere? I was in SF last month and got more burrito than I could eat for < $10.
- jondwillis 4y agopaid $24 for a medium with delivery in california so you can feel slightly better.
- evo_9 4y agoI wish, in Denver that’s $30 or more
- throwaway5959 4y agoIllegal Pete’s must be cleaning up.
- jat850 4y agoIllegal Pete's is one of the best parts of Denver (or Boulder).
- ambicapter 4y agoI've paid $16 for a sandwich in Boston.
- gruez 4y agoIs this for premium pizza (eg. at an independent store with wood fired oven) and/or with delivery? I went to dominos.com and saw they have a 3 topping large pizza for $8 (pickup).
- MrFoof 4y ago> I went to dominos.com and saw they have a 3 topping large pizza for $8 (pickup). Ah, the in-app coupons. Honestly, these are kind of a requirement nowadays if you want any fast food for a decent price. Go look on your phone for the price of that same Domino's pizza without the coupon: for me, that same pizza would be $21.24 before sales tax. The coupon is a 62.5% discount! When the had the "$3 off pickup" coupons for a while that stacked ($10 minimum), you could extend it to a 69.5% discount. -- Earlier this week I coupon stacked and got a McDonald's double cheeseburger, a large diet soda, a Wendy's Crispy Chicken Sandwich (+Tomato, +Pickles) and a Wendy's large fry for a total of $2.88 across both transactions, sales tax included. 1300 calories that served as both my lunch AND dinner. I couldn't make equivalent food at home for that price, despite sale shopping. Without coupons, and deal stacking? $9.54, which means I got a 70% discount. If I bought all that in just one of the stores (instead of going to two, since they're next to each other), it'd likely be closer to $11.
- thrashh 4y agoThere’s always coupons for Dominoes though. It’s like Michaels is Kohl’s — you’re supposed to be using coupons every time you buy something because that’s presumably how their prices are designed.
- bmarquez 4y agoExactly. The coupons for Domino's are on the front page of their website, no quantity or time restrictions, no app is required, and no account creation is required. It's basically their regular price. Unlike something like McDonald's which requires the app, precise location permissions, and limits coupon frequency.

- roflyear 4y ago20+ for a personal pie in the NYC suburbs.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 4y agoI rather think it's the price finally catching up to the actual cost of employing people to make food for you. What's wild is how we got away paying people such ludicrously low wages under such poor conditions for so long.
- fragmede 4y agoAre the employees actually getting the difference though?
