Delicious.

Re: NYC Slice
#42Many who grow up in the NY area grow up on pizza. In childhood, it's often eaten as a quick meal that doesn't require cooking. In adolescence, pizza is one of the only foods you can afford to eat out with your friends after school. In college, there's nothing like a drunken slice of pizza at 1 am. It's hard to overstate what a satisfying comfort food pizza is. There's truly nothing like it.
That’s not just NY. I suspect it’s basically all of the US.
Nowhere in the US is a slice as consistently affordable and ubiquitous as NYC.

#43> but the overall quality of your average slice in the city has definitely suffered This is true of the big national chains, too. They've kept prices relatively stable for damn near 25 years, at this point, but quality has gotten far worse over that same time span. That mouth-watering Pizza Hut pie you remember from 1992 isn't all nostalgia—every now and then I find single-location or small-chain joints that make piz…
At the risk of sounding like an ad I’m kind of startled at how not-terrible Little Caesars is for the price. A lot of food and a completely reasonable tasting and baked pie for stupid cheap when compared to almost everything else.
Have you been to Cicis?
Literally all you can eat + pasta. Dirt cheap. If you're the 'one-meal-a-day' type, is there a cheaper option?

Little Caesars is objectively terrible, sorry.
I genuinely feel bad for you. I really enjoy Little Caesar's (and most pizza.)

#45Curious how the dollar slices added up to a non-whole dollar amount. The name would imply that a dollar slice is $1. Is $.99 also considered a dollar slice?
Most prices in the states are a nice round number minus one.

You don’t need to apologize to them. We should be saying sorry to you.
Someone who gets enjoyment out of a $5 pizza is in an objectively better position than someone who can only get enjoyment out of a $10 pizza. Sorry!

Only with last year’s inflation did dollar slices become more expensive. They were $1 for a long, long time.
Still $1 if you know where to go

That's not really a typical NYC slice to be honest. The crust looks nonexistent, the dough is thicker and it doesn't look as cheesy.
