Yeah pizza was never cheap, but these days it's very expensive.

Sometimes we make it at home, it's not that hard if you get the bag of premade dough powder, just add water, costs a dollar or two.

But honestly? My cheat code is using tortillas. It's like 80% close enough to real thin crust, works well.

Slap some spaghetti sauce on there (cheaper than pizza sauce per ounce, and similar enough), and some dry mozzarella. Maybe some pepperoni. A little garlic salt and some dried basil or whatever. Toss it in the toaster oven. Bob's your mother's brother.

Personal pizza for less than a buck a piece. Or maybe A buck a piece? I haven't priced things in a minute.

Honestly the most expensive part is the pepperoni. (Hint, buy it once, and freeze it, you don't need that many at once and it won't go bad).
