Topic	Two tacos for $6.99 or 16" two topping pizza for $8.99
LinkPizza 10/16/19 4:49:36 PM #40:	aurick79 posted... People keep adding this qualifiers on why something can be made more expensive than it should be. But there is still a baseline price based on the ingredients, overhead, and other labor costs that would be established. Then you smack a sticker on it with some celebs name or "GMO free" when it's not even food and you add to the price. Higher price may not be an indicator of High quality, but when you start going the other way it can be a very good indicator of something being lower quality because no business is going to use top of the line stuff and then sell it at a loss. edit: too the point, restaurant quality (not fast food quality) tacos with fresh ingredients can be obtained for a couple of bucks each. $6.99 might be expensive without more detail Restaurant quality (not Papa Johns or Pizza Hut quality) pizza of this size with two simple will typically goes for at least $10-$11 (ignoring any sales or promotions), around here it's typically more - all the way up to stupid prices from places like Frank Pepe. The only way to serve a pizza at $8.99 with two toppings and and that size is to cut down on overall cost. So something is giving at that point. The pizza could still be "good" or at least edible. But, odds are the tacos are going to be overall higher quality at their price point than the pizza. Maybe. But to assume because of price is still wrong. You can make something cheaper and get a lower profit. But in the end, profit is profit. Things can also be more expensive because of shipping location. My thing is I dont base quality on price. Because its just one factor. The best thing to base quality on it the food itself. Taste, health (if thats you thing), how well it keeps, etc. Id rather not eat something I think taste worse just because it cost more. I also wouldnt pay more for something when I can get the same thing for a couple bucks cheaper because its the store brand, but taste exactly the same... Destiny posted... when it comes to dining, price usually is a good indicator. would you want a pizza from Pizza hut that cost $5, or one from the local pizzeria that cost $10. which one do you think would taste better. keep in mind, in this scenario, money is not an issue. Pizza Hut. Local places around where I live suck. They are also overpriced, but on this scenario, money isnt an issue. Ive rarely had a problem with Pizza Hut, and the quality for most pizzas are pretty much the same. And quicker than local places. Local places change consistency often (Sometimes, really good. Others times, not so much.), and takes much longer. I think most people only keep going to local places because they grew up with them, most of the time. And theyre use to it. In the town I live in, we have some many outsiders due to the base and all the colleges, that many local places arent that good to most people. Well, theres that, and the fact that there are so many... And thats saying a lot for me. I personally have no issues with pizza as long as it taste like pizza. But I wouldnt go out of my way to go to a local pizza place over a chain just because its local. Or they say their ingredients are better. For all I know, they use the same ingredients as the chain, but just say they use better ingredients... --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.
