Pizza, especially in Brooklyn, may be the ultimate quick bite. If you're hungry, don't have much cash, and want something satisfying, a plain slice of pizza can really hit the spot. But as neighbor Frank Meuschke noted in an email last week, the price is on the rise:
I was walking home from Church (thanks to the Efferoo) late tonight, planning on stopping into Golden Farms for some milk. A little hungry I thought I might stop into Korner Pizza for a slice. I was shocked by the price of a slice. Three dollars! I've never seen that for junky pizza. Certainly not in Brooklyn for a day old slice waiting to be heated up.
He said it'll go up from there. I complained, and left. Thanks to Golden Farm for holding down the price of things. Here's what they were selling for $2.99: large Pollyo Ricotta, 16oz Pollyo mozzarella, and three kinds of natural breakfast cereals. All under three dollars.
I bought those instead.
The $3 price tag eventually led Frank to making his own pizza at home. But for those of us who still need the quick fix, how much are you willing to pay for a slice, and where is your favorite (or cheapest) in the neighborhood? Are you the type who will hike to Di Fara for a $5 slice that might be deemed objectionable by the DOH, or do you favor the 2 slices and a soda at Xpress for about $4? Let us know your pizza secrets!
