Had no idea. They’ve got great pizza with very reasonable prices. (and some huge sizes)

View on HN

Very reasonable prices are $40 + 8% coop fee for a standard large pizza? That's almost $50 after tax.

A large cheese is $25, and 18” is quite large. Expensive maybe but it’s legitimately good pizza as other have said.

Sure, i'm not commenting on the tastiness. Just that I remember balking at the $40 I spent for a pizza there, and am surprised that anyone thinks the prices are "reasonable" when it's likely one of the most expensive pizza places in the entire country.

Maybe there's more to the prices than the co-op structure?

It's still less, even without the 8% fee which they explicitly say is because it's a co-op.

As a reference point: An 18” Whole Foods pizza is $15 at full price and $10 on Fridays.

A “standard large pizza” is 14", the size of their small; 16" is a common extra-large size, their large is 18” (1.65× the size of a “standard large pizza”, by area.)

$43.20 ($40+8%) is quite reasonable for an 18" multiple topping pizza.

Thanks for helping remind me of the Bay Area / tech wealth bubble. Meanwhile the first pizza place I find with good reviews elsewhere in the country has a 18" multi topping for $25, and two 16" for $37.

Yeah, that is pretty steep.

Bibo's NY Pizza in San Jose has $23 for a 20" (XL) with no toppings.

I do enjoy these moments. When they thing someone writes says something so clearly besides the words they used.

Patsy's on 119th in NYC large and small pizzas were the same size but the number of slices was greater in a large pizza.

Man. They ask for a tip on top of the co-op fee too, despite it being take-out. Fugget about it.
