How much does he charge for a pie and what is his margins?
- hungariantatto 12y ago"How much does he charge for a pie" It's a pizza business, not a pie business. Pizzas aren't pies.
- pluma 12y agoAnd a hamburger isn't a "sandwich", it's a "burger". But these distinctions aren't universal. It's easy to see why some people call pizzas pies if you look at variants like "deep pizza" (or "Chicago style pizza"). Essentially you might as well argue whether it's "soda" or "pop".
- discardorama 12y agoWhen referring to a pizza, Americans often use the word "pie".
- Fishkins 12y ago"Pizza" is just Italian for "pie". http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=pizza http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=pizza http://dictionary.reference.com/help/faq/language/e02.html http://dictionary.reference.com/help/faq/language/e02.html

- x0x0 12y agoHe and his partner locate restaurants by concentrated student population / bar areas. By the slice -- $3 to $4. By the pizza: $16 to $26, ranging from plain cheese to steak or various types of chicken. Margins are quite good (I'd rather not disclose w/o permission), but remember demand varies quite a lot by day and hour, plus plummets during the summer when students aren't around.
