I was just looking at the menu and saw that, ridiculous that he did not mention it had no cheese! tomato, garlic, oreganoFranco Manca is £5 for a pizza without cheese.
-knowing fine well people would presume it did, esp. as he went on to describe ones here as "plain"
http://www.francomanca.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/FM-MENU-EXPANDED-JULY-2017.pdfEven that woodfired takeaway, Base, change 9 90 or something for a weenchy plain pizza
it is 9.80 for the "plain" pizza, tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, garnished with fresh basil -which has cheese! :rolleyes:
Can you mention any places in dublin doing the equivalent for €3.50, I can only think of 1 place that does single slices offhand, that is DiFontaine's which are 3.50, but I can rule them out as the photos online of their slices look bigger than the one in your photo.You can get a slice of what I call "Street Pizza" from a window in a pizzeria for $1 in NYC.
Real proper delicious New York Slices
But I'm not in NYC, I'm in Dublin & the equivalent costs about €3.50.

Looking on google sites say the average pizza slice in NY is $2.75. I saw no $1 places when I was there years ago. I see this article bemoaning the rise of the $1 slice.
http://gadling.com/2012/09/07/new-york-citys-mostly-unfortunate-1-pizza-slice-phenomenon/I’ve recently found my dad’s match for the worst pizza I’ve ever tasted. And it’s right where I live in New York City. In the last few years a recent phenomenon has emerged on the city’s dining landscape: $1 pizza slices.
The phrase, you pay for what you get, very much applies here. I talked to Adam Kuban, founding editor of the website Serious Eats and editor and founder of Slice, a blog dedicated to all things pizza. “I think the recession is the big force driving the rise of the dollar slice,” he said. “I don’t know about other folks, but for me, once a plain slice started creeping up near the $3 mark, it ceased to be an automatic transaction. Two bucks? Fine. Two-fifty? Um, OK, sure. Because even at $2.50, if you’re getting two slices, like a lot of people do, it’s still an even fiver. Once you break the $2.50 barrier, though (the average price in Manhattan seems to be holding around $2.75), you start to think about the price in terms of MORE THAN $5.”
A good point. South Brooklyn Pizza in the East Village, one of the best slices in the city, in my opinion, is a whopping $4 per slice. It’s worth it, though. But, as Kuban pointed out, with that kind of pricing it’s not automatic anymore.
I think €3.50 is expensive for those pictured, but how many places do single slices in dublin? to me its a gimmick, a niche market and they charge for it accordingly. I expect a bag of italian/irish chipper chips in NY or a batter sausage or batter burger would cost a lot more than chippers here -I reckon it would also be a bit of a gimmick over there.0 -

Factually incorrect
The accepted original pizza is a marinara pizza - and it did not have cheese.
It is debatable whether this or the margherita was the original, but cheeseless is more authentic Italian than almost every other type.0 -

They definitely got it wrong

No it doesn't, shít pizza still remains shít pizza. Liking it doesn't change that status. I have eaten dominos in the past and will probably eat it again in the future, but I know it's not good pizza. I don't know too many places in Dublin that does authentic pizza, but Da Mimmo on North Strand Road does fantastic pizza's. Most expensive pizza is 14 euro (take away). Margarita is only €9. 0 -

Marketing and a national lack of taste when it comes to pizza is all it is really.
In Australia or Canada you can get a 9" pizza from Dominos with 2-3 toppings for $5 (so about €3.50). Over here it's what... five times that? The reason is that in Canada and Australia it has a reputation for being cheap junk food like McDonalds, Burger King, etc. Over here some people seem to deem it as fecking gourmet cuisine for some reason.
Funny enough while they're hit and miss, some chippers do some pretty solid pizzas here alright (and at typically fair prices like you said).0 -
Pro tip for the scroungers: I make my own pizzas sometimes and priced it up a while back - a batch of 12 works out to about 80c each I think it was including cheese and sauce. You can freeze extra ones and the sauce (handiest to do so in an ice cube container, two cubes to one pizza). If you're not picky, whatever scraps are in the fridge like the spare few mushrooms or bit of sweetcorn, or those two rashers and sausages with only a few days left on them, and you're sorted.I remember going on a date a couple of years back with an Italian summer student, he was shocked at the price of pizza here.
Nearly fainted outside Milanos.
Only takes a couple of swings to actually really get the knack of it too, and nowhere near as time consuming as it might seem. 0 -

Guess it must vary from one place to the next which would also explain 2 toppings for $5 in the one near where I was... mine is showing medium pizza, chicken strippers and cookies for €20 in that space.
That deal was there consistently while I was over there, and while not the same one anymore is still very similar. I was off on saying 4-5 times the price though, will agree there though from what I can see it is still coming out to nearly 2.5 times the price. Romayo's prices seem better, do agree there and I had said chippers while hit and miss do good pizzas often at good prices - I guess I just know too many people under the impression that Dominos is worth more than others because "it's the best" (while mystifyingly considering chipper pizzas as 'dodgy' for whatever reason, probably a lack of TV ads?), I mean to each their own but it's just not good stuff
