Yeah I’m a breatharian now, never going back to physical foods.
who pays 8$ for two frozen pizzas though? My go-to vegan Pizza from Lidl is about 1,30€ each.
But yea, making them yourself is even cheaper than that.$1.50 how? Is he having a sliced tomato on cardboard?
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.
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’s just a very small pizza

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
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
Lidl and aldi sell pizza for less than that
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.
I mean yeah a magherita is cheap but if you want some meat or shrooms or something on it…
True. As everyone knows, Pizza Margherita was invented by Cambodians. /s
But seriously, homemade Margherita is so cheap that it’s not particularly hard to fit several toppings into a $1.50-per-pizza budget.
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.
Unfortunately you don’t buy groceries by the portion in the US. Not sure if that’s done in Europe either. The cost of the ingredients you buy is baked into the cost of the pizza. Just because you have leftovers doesn’t make it cheaper.
That’s only true if you don’t use up the leftovers. Flour lasts a long time and has countless uses, there’s lots of recipes that use pureed tomatos (which also last a fair amount of time in the fridge, and months in the freezer) and nothing could be easier than using up cheese.
Alternatively, just make more pizza. If you have a party, it shouldn’t be too hard to use up most of the ingredients.
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”.
No /s
This is a great variant to regular pizza when you happen to have the ingredients on hand. I do it all the time.
It’s fancy cheese on toast
Italian rarebit.
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.
There is the long term benefit of using fresher, safer ingredients. Pizza places are a mixed bag on that front, but you do have a better idea of the number of rotting mouse carcasses under your counter, compared to someone else’s
Also the cost of actually cooking the thing. Doesn’t take long but oven has to be proper hot. The cost will be negligible compared to the ingredients, but many people are carefully watching their utility bills right now.
Making your own pizza is cheap if you don’t value your time
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.
None pizza?
At least add some left beef.
that’s focaccia
Decide on a whim to make za at home
welp, see you in 4 daysPizza at home is a whole hobby by itself, not a dinner choice.
I do it from time to time, but if factor my time, each pizza ends up costing like 20 euros, and I don’t even have any fancy equipment to amortize…
Much more efficient to do an hour of overtime and order from a local Italian restaurant, if all you want is to eat a good pizza.

How else am I meant to make the cheese stick?
Broil 45 minutes, no more glue
Nobody told me I have to broil the glue
Frozen pizzas are like 10$ in northern Canada…
That being said, pepperoni is prohibitivly expensive for homemade pizza
Isn’t everything expensive in northern Canada? Maybe except snow and ice…
Yes everything is more expensive because of the cost of shipping things up there.
Probably because you are so far from Italy
