  I mean yeah a magherita is cheap but if you want some meat or shrooms or something on it…

  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?

        My pizzas are flat and not completely dripping with sauce or cheese. As Italy intended.

  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.
