i judge a town on the average price of its pizza

2 massive sourdough pizzas, maybe 2ft across, wood fired lardydaah, one with meat, other fresh tom sauce with mozzarella and basil.

Next time i have to buy one or two i'll take a photo. My son ate pretty much both of them, not even a slice left.

They are a great markup for pizzashop not great for my wallet.

In my neighbourhood, the quality of pizza has deteriorated considerably, the large pizza is only half the size it used to be and the prices have tripled or quadrupled. Besides, there are hardly any Italians left here who bake pizza. I like the classic Italian pizza best. I don't think that caraway seeds belong in the dough and that you should use a high-quality cheese with its own flavour. The majority of the offers here are now in the lowest price segment and you can taste it.
That's why I only bake pizza myself.
The dough and sauce are so easy to portion and freeze that it doesn't take much effort at all to plan for a month ahead.
A kilo of organic flour costs less than a euro and 500 ml of organic tomato sauce is €0.80 here. 200 g of decent cheese costs around three euros.
I estimate that a homemade pizza costs around two to three euros, depending on the toppings.
A Margherita pizza here costs between €6 and €15, although there is no difference in flavour. You only notice it in your blood pressure because the cheap pizzas are sometimes so over-salted.

my go to comfort nostalgia pizza joint is run by an egyptian dude for decades, and its right around the corner. i call ahead and pick it up myself steaming hot.

of course its not comparable to the fancy pizzerias downtown or italian pizza but its my hood favorite, a league of its own that has a place in my heart.

only complaint i can come up with is that the dough has become noticeable sweeter since a year or two ago.

I can't praise the pizza enough. It's quality at a price that's shite.

I've made lots of pizzas for the kids, base and toppings all from scratch, fresh ingredients. They're amazing but i spend the whole evening on the pizza production line, whatchyagonnado eh??

Despite this and loving cooking in general I could never get the chewy crusty crust but i never tried the 00 flour, or semolina which they dust the floured pizza crusts with here.

When i worked in a pizza shop in 1994 they mixed powdered smash potato into the dough and it was their secret recipe.

the large pizza is only half the size it used to be

If it is half the diameter, remember it should be a quarter of the price, as πr2

50 quid for two pizzas, should really be 34 pounds max

How lovely you've got some Beldia @goingrey . I love that oldschool hash taste and high.



I got some hash from the Berbers in the desert in Morocco that was of exceptional quality decades ago and some of the best hash i've had from the uk streets was from Morocco too.

In Fez they still process the animal hides the traditional way with guano solutions in masive earthen inverse mounds like they have for centuries so i'm sure there is still plenty of traditional hash to be found in Morocco.

The smell of the guano really is something strong and many tourists walk around with mint bunches held tightly to their noses. These are handed to you as you enter the area through the covered winding alleys. Personally, i found the smell appeaing. A good haze kinda smell of leather and cats piss

Marrokko is beautiful! Had been there and picked some beldia seeds, one with a mangosmell and some others i would Need to Check the labels. Not sure if I want to pop them because of the auto trait. Sure there is nice stuff to be found, both traditional beldia and western hybrids. The less grade hash they use just heat to press it (if you are lucky and don’t get the Pirelli one (or maybe opium infused hahahaha)). Often they smoke just kief, the stuff without anything left in it, sometimes mixed with tobacco, drinking mint tea with tons of sugar.

I fixed the above - NY has an endless supply of Italians - state is filled with cities names after those in Italy and with a bunch of Italianos comes great pizza !

I need a piece
