add extra cheese and toppings
This is what I do. Buy a large frozen supreme pizza at the grocery store, then add extra mozarella and other toppings at home before baking.

paultimate14@lemmy.world 7 months agoLocal pizza places are usually both cheaper and better than chains, at least in every neighborhood I’ve lived in. I think they are better than frozen pizzas, but also about 2x the cost. Both vary from place to place though.
Aldi’s pizzas are my go-to for value. Usually around $6 a pop now (they were $3.29 pre-pandemic). I add extra cheese and toppings to remind myself I’ve made it in life.

you know sometimes i forget that pizza chains exist in other countries, here in sweden (and i think generally the nordics) they simply are not a thing because middle eastern immigrants have outcompeted them from the start.
From a blogpost i found there are aparently some 70-ish pizzerias per person in NYC, whereas there are 400+ per person in sweden. It’s literally more likely to find a pizzeria in a small village than it is to find a grocery store, and theyr are ALL staffed by people from turkey/syria who are very likely to be family or at least know of each other. They also always serve other stuff like kebab or schnitzel.
It’s honestly such a fascinating phenomenon and i’m sad the rest of the world doesn’t effectively have pizza as a human right.

There are more pizzerias than people? Or is it 70 people to each pizzeria in NYC and 400 people to each in Sweden?

You go to new York and just immediately get bombarded with pizza, when you get off the plane they put a pizza around your neck.

Sure, but more pizza places than people doesn’t seem feasible. It would require something like everyone in NYC works multiple pizzerias by themselves.

looked up the blogpost again and it’s per million people

we have kotipizza in finland. it’s shit. but it’s kinda allright sometimes. I always go to the little places. I even formed a sort of relationahip with one place because I used to go the so often I didn’t have to order to get just what I wanted. those little chain free places are special

lol, I wonder how they staff “70-ish pizzerias per person”. That’s one hell of a short-staffed environment! 1/70th of an employee per shop!
