Did you know that if you spend $70 on ingredients and 4 hours in the kitchen you can make a burger that is superior to anything at McDonalds or Burger King? Follow me for more lifestyle tips!

I could probably do it for $5, especially if I’m allowed to shop in the EU.

Hell, 20$ at a Ramen Shop will get me something superior than anything at McDonalds or Burger King

How fucking expensive are white flour, pureed tomato and cheap mozzarella in your parts?
robocall@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
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.
Pacattack57@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
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.
SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 hours ago
Why even make pizza? What is it really? Bread, cheese, toppings, and tomato sauce. I can knock that down to $0.25 or less per pizza.
Take a slice of bread, spread with tomato sauce, top with cheese and toppings, then broil until toppings melt. Want a calzone? Add a second piece of bread on top of the end, broil until toasted.
Boom. Pizza.

This is a great variant to regular pizza when you happen to have the ingredients on hand. I do it all the time.

I wish I could make a pizza at home for $1.50. For $1.50, I can make the crust. No sauce, no cheese, no toppings.

Cost of store brand premade pizza: $6-8, 15 minutes cook time, versus Cost of homemade pizza:
$2.00 for half block of store brand mozzarella cheese (Pre-shredded cheese has additives in it to keep it from clumping.) 1/2 onion - $0.50 2 cloves garlic $0.25 4 ounces tomato paste $0.50 Dry basil, oregano, bay leaf, parsley, paprika $0.10 2 cups flour $0.30 Packet of yeast $0.30
Total cost of ingredients: $4.45 Ingredient wise, I’m saving $1 - 4.
The real cost is time. Prep time/clean time: Making dough, chopping veg, making sauce, shredding cheese, bake time, and washing dishes, is 2.5 hours (My hourly wage is $28) so that’s a $70 cost in terms of time. That cost will be variable depending on a person’s hourly wage. Looks like premade, frozen, store brand gets you the best bang for the buck.

There is the long term benefit of using fresher, safer ingredients. Pizza places are a mixed bag on that front, but you do have a better idea of the number of rotting mouse carcasses under your counter, compared to someone else’s
lessthanluigi@lemmy.sdf.org 2 hours ago
Making your own pizza is cheap if you don’t value your time
Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
Also the cost of actually cooking the thing. Doesn’t take long but oven has to be proper hot. The cost will be negligible compared to the ingredients, but many people are carefully watching their utility bills right now.

Pizza at home is a whole hobby by itself, not a dinner choice.
I do it from time to time, but if factor my time, each pizza ends up costing like 20 euros, and I don’t even have any fancy equipment to amortize…
Much more efficient to do an hour of overtime and order from a local Italian restaurant, if all you want is to eat a good pizza.

I noticed this when I visited Marseille recently. I couldn’t believe how cheap pizza is!
It’s not uncommon to see large pizzas for $30+ in my area (which tbf is expensive even for america). I think American pizza does often have more toppings, but not enough more.

Kellenved@sh.itjust.works 8 hours ago
Yes everything is more expensive because of the cost of shipping things up there.

$3.99 for a frozen pizza? Either the only eat gourmet brands (those do exist), or they have some seriously whack pricing. Cheap frozen pizza should be like $1.

The cheapest pizza available at my local grocery store is $2 for the totinos party “pizza”. Then Tony’s and Red Baron around 4-6, with digiorno at like 7 and lots and lots from 7-12
starchylemming@lemmy.world 17 hours ago
frozen pizza indeed comes in extremely varied quality levels.
the cheapest ones are barely food while the higher range promises more quality and healthy ingredients
rumschlumpel@feddit.org 17 hours ago
Surely there’s a middle ground between the absolute cheapest, and $3.99 frozen pizza. Frankly, I don’t believe that the expensive ones are actually that much healthier.
FatVegan@leminal.space 16 hours ago
I can not comprehend how someone buys a pizza or something for a dollar and goes: yeah, that’s human food for consumption.
rumschlumpel@feddit.org 2 hours ago
It’s basically white bread with a little cheese and tomato sauce. If you bought those ingredients separately, you’d pay like $0.2 for them.

Takes a long time for the dough to rise, but at least where I love you can by premade dough if you wanna sacrifice some quality for a faster process. And then it’s like a 20 min job.

saltesc@lemmy.world 23 hours ago
I built an outside oven and hit that up for pizza and bread. Also take the top off for the cast iron so I can slow cook pork shoulder and whatnot.
It’s really easy, cheap, high quality.

We have a pizza stone, clay stone you preheat… we don’t make a lot of homemade pizza but we have pizza parties every now and again… cost more than 1 per pizza though but when everybody makes it together it’s fun…. You get one or two really good pizzas and then one or two really awful pizzas though unless you use a consistent recipe if you’re making homemade dough you need to do it the day before…. There are some good instant dough recipes though but day before doughs are always better generally
