Why New York Pizza Is So Expensive These Days

"The reason why pizza prices are jumping is because do to gentrification we have nothing but young professionals and family funded 'artists' willing to shell out money just to get a slice of 'authentic' New York pizza." —The Joneses

it's, "due" to gentrification not "do". education

That sounds like a rather pathetic reason to me.

I guess it kind of goes with the old saying...

"there's a sucker born every minute".

Sadly the rest of us get screwed thanks to these "suckers" willing to dig deep in their pockets for anything. Movie tickets, concert tickets, now N.Y.C. pizza. Everything just keeps going up, and there's always a fool who'll pay anything to have it. I think we should hang them from the gallows.

@paulygmex: Yeah. You know that, I know that, but "The Joneses" don't know that. I should have [sic]-ed that!

Ahh, no. The prices of cheese and flour have been rising at a mind-blowing pace. If the price of slices didn't go up, a lot of people would be going out of business.

Feh. Since there has been a New York, and probably New Amsterdam before it, people have bemoaning how the latest newcomers are ruining their quality of life. The price of everything goes up, it's called inflation, get used to it. Next you'll be saying the subway should cost a nickel or some such old timey nonsuch.

Unfortunately, that's the price of popularity.

I live in DC... probably not so different than most other places in America - we all have a local affinity for good pie, but all recognize NY for what it is... the absolute Mecca of Pizza (New Haven-ers will take exception, but for the sheer volume of quality places, NYC's rep is un-toppable).

...and if it's *still* cheaper than a Big Mac, you should probably just stop whining.

Funny in some areas the prices are the same but the slices are smaller...

It's called "high rent" guys.
