Just a comment here. I visit India at fairly large intervals. The prices of items there SHOCKED me! I guess if I was living there continuously I would be more used to things, so Rs 340 for a Pizza just floors me. I would have said - because its a 'novelty' food it would cost something like Rs 30, but I guess you can't even get a packet of biscuits (US: Cookies) for that.

I believe it's a matter of definition (no Dominos), but here are the points from Sweden (Stockholm): My local pizzeria: 60 SEK - 9.34 USD Pizza Hut (Large): 209 SEK - 32.52 USD

I live in the same city but I can't find a pizza near me that's cheaper than ~90 SEK - 14.01 USD

Your comment would be much more insightful if you gave the dollar amounts, as well. Is the rupee closer to a peso or a pound?

Argentina, Buenos Aires:

About 55 ARS delivered in the suburbs (Gran Buenos Aires) and 80 ARS in a middle range restaurant. That's about 9,50 USD and 13,7 USD respectively using official exchange rates and 5,75 USD and 8,35 USD using the blue market rates. We don't really have chain pizza restaurants with international presence.

Also, things tend to raise at about 20% per year, so take that into account.

This country is fun, crazy and cheap, come visit. :)
