Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

Not quite. I live in Zurich Downtown, and you won't even find a Pizza Margarita for that price (17CHF). Its more like 22CHF (= $25) minimum. I've also lived in more rural areas in Switzerland before, and in those places 17CHF might be correct, but not for Zurich.

There's a Margherita as discribed in my earlier comment available at Santa Lucia[1].

Los Angeles CA, USA $5 USD out the door

Where are you finding it for that much? I'm also in Los Angeles and a large pizza can run around $17, not including delivery.

Little Caesars's pepperoni and cheese pizzas are $5 when you pick up. Tons of mom and pop places in North Hollywood and Hollywood (not the ones on the Blvd) will offer the same special. When I lived in Sherman Oaks, the local Guido's did the same.

Domino's and Pizza hut will offer the same deal from time to time but you have to get their promo emails.
