  How fucking expensive are white flour, pureed tomato and cheap mozzarella in your parts?

    it probably cost me $10+ to make a pizza at home in the USA.

    8oz Cheese is expensive. a couple of tomatoes cost the same.

      IMO, 8 oz cheese is way too much for one pizza, I use maybe 2-3 and using fresh tomatoes is just unnecessary work that’s also a lot more expensive that prepackaged pureed tomatoes (in part because cheap tomatoes taste like water, which doesn’t happen with cheap prepackaged pureed tomatoes).

      That said, 8.8 oz of cheap mozzarella cost like 1.40€. How much do you pay for that?

      True. As everyone knows, Pizza Margherita was invented by Cambodians. /s

    I tend to buy pizza sauce, which is more expensive than pureed tomato. Cheap pizza sauce is about US$2-4 but I sometimes splurge on more expensive pizza sauce.

      As long as you don’t claim that it’s impossible to make half-decent pizza with cheaper ingredients …

      How big are those $4 pizza sauce portions, anyway? I use maybe 50-100ml of tomato sauce for one pizza.

        14 oz. how are you using 100ml for a pizza? Perhaps my pizzas are bigger than yours?

    Unfortunately you don’t buy groceries by the portion in the US. Not sure if that’s done in Europe either. The cost of the ingredients you buy is baked into the cost of the pizza. Just because you have leftovers doesn’t make it cheaper.

      That’s only true if you don’t use up the leftovers. Flour lasts a long time and has countless uses, there’s lots of recipes that use pureed tomatos and nothing could be easier than using up cheese.

      Alternatively, just make more pizza. If you have a party, it shouldn’t be too hard to use up most of the ingredients.
