pizza: I often wonder how much it actually costs a pizza shop to make a BASIC pizza with cheese. Let's say a large pizza costs me $10, how much would it cost them. I know they have other costs that will eat into any profit they make on the pizza like paying employee's and their building and equipment. If it weren't for these expenses I wonder how much it would cost them to make a pizza?|||$350. The government subsidizes the $340 and you pay $10.|||Pizza is one of the most profitable items a restaurant can sell. It is hard to tell right now their actual food cost because of the high cost of flour and cheese at the current time. Their box costs have also gone up a lot lately as well as the cost to deliver with the price of gas.|||less than a buck
