    Just called in a pick-up order of a large 4 topping (pep, sausage, artichoke, black olive) pizza and the total is 35 and change.

    Egregious?

    In general yes. I wouldn’t have them on that pizza. But at least artichokes don’t make everything near them on the pizza taste like ball sweat.

    There's a place across from my house that's really good. One of my top 5 favorite pizzas. An XL specialty pizza is like 42 bucks. Have to do some soul searching every time I order it.

    For reference in Las Vegas, the best place(imo of course) is called “Brooklyn’s Best” and a 16” large specialty is ~$27.

    the local chain “Pizza Rock” has a 13” with those toppings for $29.

    or you can go to the strip and pay $75 for some school lunch pizza.

    As for the actual OP - not that crazy, all things considered. One of the local spots here is $25 for a large specialty pizza. Accounting for COLA & extra toppings, it’s not insane.

    I wouldn’t order from that place once a week though
