We’re spoiled … we’ve had actual Neapolitan pizza that was baked in a traditional stone oven in Italy made with carefully prepared dough, fresh ingredients and thick heavy tasty mozzarella and a big ball of bufala campana cheese in the center … pizza so thin, light and tasty that you can eat a whole one yourself and its a proper sized meal … my wife and I both had it and that is the constant standard she is after when she orders those thin crust pizzas here in northern Ontario Canada. I keep telling her that we have to go to the city to find anything remotely like the real Italian stuff and we’ll never get it anywhere else … yet we still keep ordering thin crust pizza hoping that some day some Italian will just make us a real pizza one day and make it for us.
So it’s no longer a cost/benefit thing … just a nostalgia about pizzas past.
It depends what you want to get for your money.
A meal you like and enjoy eating?
Or the maximum amount of pizza-ish mass per dollar?
