$1.50 how? Is he having a sliced tomato on cardboard?

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah seriously; I made pizza at home once, and the basic ingredients ended up costing more than getting pizza for takeout. So even though it was fun, I never attempted it again.

[–] Kage520@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

It shouldn't be more expensive than takeout. You have to do everything from scratch for it to be cheap though. Flour, yeast, olive oil, canned tomatoes/spices, and a block of mozzarella to shred yourself. Wait for a good sale on the mozzarella.

It's not super duper cheap but even dominoes is getting expensive these days, and making it yourself should be healthier too.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

I mean it's kind of hard to beat unlimited toppings for $12 at the pizza place I go to, even if you do make everything from scratch.

[–] kalpol@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

Note that this is not hard and you can do it in a cast iron skillet. Flour oil warm water salt and yeast, let it rise, roll it out. Put it in the oiled skillet on the burner and cook it while you top it, then pop the whole thing in the oven at 500 to bake. You can add literally any thing you want. A good sauce is just blending canned whole peeled tomatoes with some oil and salt. Add garlic, basil, anchovies, do whatever you want.

[–] Bongles@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 days ago

No way does it have cheese.

I could do the dough, probably. A jar of sauce is over, a can of tomatoes is over, hell 3 to 4 regular ass tomatoes are over that.

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Well you steal the ingredients and then throw a buck fifty in the homeless dude's can outside the store. Best guess. Also I approve of this method.

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!

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 4 points 4 days ago

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

Decide on a whim to make za at home
welp, see you in 4 days

[–] Tja@programming.dev 6 points 4 days ago

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.

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (4 children)

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.

.../s ?

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Definitely closer to a proper pizza than those deepdish "pizzas".

I'm sorry but you can't make a pizza for a $1.50 unless he live in Cambodia

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (14 children)

How fucking expensive are white flour, pureed tomato and cheap mozzarella in your parts? Last time I made pizza at home, the basic ingredients (without any fancy toppings) cost like $0.5 per portion, and I live in Germany, not some poor third world country.

Making own pizza is the way to go for sure, especially when there are like taco leftovers or something. Yummy!

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.

"Hey, Jimmy, gimme a pie with nothin'!"

"Nothin'?"

It is still cheaper to buy everything for a pepperoni or cheese pizza to make at home than even a Little Ceasars pizza, tho. Can make a bigger pizza, too.

[–] vane@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

that's focaccia

[–] TheMightyCanuck@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Frozen pizzas are like 10$ in northern Canada..

That being said, pepperoni is prohibitivly expensive for homemade pizza
