I may be spoiled by living in the land of Pizza chains (Dominos and Little Caesar's are HQed nearby) but would not consider Dominos a fair comparison.
As my personal benchmark, I use one of the more 'solid' local chains, that IMO captures most of the essence of a 'Corner Shop' pizza. i.e. the oven probably isn't wood fired, but it's going to be better ingredients and IMO better quality product than a major chain. (1)
In any case, their 2 Large 2 Topping 'coupon' has gone up from 20 to 25$ over the last year. A 25% increase, which is pretty notable to me.
I've also seen my local mexican chain raise their prices, but by a lower mark. My 6-pack of enchiladas has both gone up in price (from 10 to 11.50, a 15% increase) and is no longer quite large enough to minmax over 3 meals (2 at a time used to fill me up. not anymore.)
(1) - To give you an example of a 'corner shop' pizza, or at least what it means to me. Imagine a place where the staff is friendly but smokes weed outside the store half the time. The local residents don't really care however, because the pizza comes out even better those days. It's one of those places you don't brag about going to, yet gets all the compliments if you bring it to a party.
