#44I'm not sure pizza is the greatest choice of measurement. In most European countries, there is no such thing as a large or small pizza, there is simply pizza, and it is intended for one person. The crust is very thin compared to American pizza and the toppings are quite sparse. In my current city (Geneva) a cheese pizza would cost around $20 and would feed one adult.

#45Singapore: 16-22 SGD, 13-18 USD (tax is always included).
That's for a 12" thin-crust pizza--the sort of thing a moderately hungry person would eat alone.
The pizza is not bad, but don't bother with pepperoni (it isn't spicy, in a land where tons of things are spicy). Casual local meals are about one-quarter of those prices. And many Asian people are not really into cheese, so there's limited scope for a $1 slice place (probably the only place you can even order a single slice is at the airport).

#46Istanbul (dominos): 23TL $13.5 Although there is a 2-for-1 promotion, which is always available. (extra 5tl for second one), then it would cost 14TL $7. ref: http://www.dominos.com.tr
According to a quick calculation I made, in Istanbul (or anywhere in Turkey really), Classic Large Pizza is 6.22USD.
One pizza is 19.90TL, which is 9.94USD with current currency. But with 2-for-1 promotion, like you said it's +5TL, it's 24.90TL total, 12.45TL each, which makes 6.22USD.
I've checked both Dominos's website and Yemeksepeti's (the largest online food ordering website here) website.
(I was logged-in to both, I don't think so but, maybe there is a discount?)

#47Bangkok, Thailand: 329 THB / $10 But this is relatively expensive for Thailand, since pizza is considered a luxury food here :)
Around 300 baht for a meal (presumably for two or more people) is hardly out of reach for anybody but the poorest in Bangkok.
I don't think anyone would call it a luxury food either. If you're (poor and) going to splurge on something you're not going to sit down at a pizza chain.
A related complaint: As flexible as this city's restaurant culture is, it's impossible to get a good pizza at any price.

"All prices include delivery and tipping (which is 0. we don't tip)."
Unless you live in a remote location. But I don't think that'll be a problem for most since Dominos is literally everywhere. (At least everywhere in Istanbul, Bursa, Izmir and Ankara)

#49For your survey to be remotely useful, you have to pin down the requirements better. Major pizza chain or gourmet pub? You say "largest" pizza, but why not just specify large? Some places have enormous sized pizzas (well above 20 inches) others don't go above 18 inches.
That's the very reason this will lead to nowhere...
A good (e.g. not the crap from Domino's which is overpriced in CH anyway) italian Pizza Margherita made in a wood oven with a size of around 33cm costs CHF 17 (~$19) in Zurich.
It's the wood that makes it good.
