I've been to Italy a lot, and while I'm sure the are places that charge 4 euros for a pizza (just as there are places that charge $5 for a pizza in the US), most restaurants I've been to charge at least 7-10 euros.

Secondly, pizzas in the US tend to be larger than pizzas in Italy.

As I've said "if you sit at a restaurant add a couple of euros" on average it's around 7-8 euros

We were talking retail prices though.

Also, we don't pay mandatory tips at the restaurant

Pizza size is a function of cooking then uniformly, large pizzas are considered a bit tacky here (not judging anybody, just trying to explain why pizza in Italy is smaller, it's actually a feature)
