The ingredients used to make the pizzas are more expensive than that. There is no way these restaurants will make money selling anything for a dollar besides maybe napkins in NYC.
Even at $1.50, they probably are making razor thin margins on the slices now compared to only a few years ago. Prices on supplies has more than doubled in some cases.
The question was leading tbh. The real question should be.. do you think a 50 cent increase in pizza is worth keeping the quality and employees employed? Or should they stay a dollar and cut corners.
The Covid BS gave everyone the excuse to racketeer, increasing costs and their profit margins. Distributors made out like bandits--now their trying to create part 2 of this nonsense.
Even $1.50 for a slice is insane! A slice of cheese at the place near me is $6. But I don’t have to pay $2700/month to live in a closet so it balances out.
I can't fathom how it must feel to go out of your way to help feed the community and when you absolutely have to increase prices, by literally 50 cents, those people get upset at you.
That's the thing about national pizza chains. They will never intentionally be part of the community. That said, those rare special franchisees give back.
Hakki....what an amazing man. In this day and age where we are surrounded and innundated with people only caring about profit and getting ahead, he truly is a diamond in the rough and we need ten MILLION more people like him in this world to be better. Support your local small business people, or we will lose them
Growing up in Chicago there were a handful of places that had $ 1 hot dogs, $ 2 combo with fries. Watching it go up and up over the years was sad but I also understood how they had to keep up with raising costs. Either way I'm glad to have grown up at least partially in the golden era
A slice of pizza in my town is two bucks, three with one topping. I'm just glad the spot opened because before them there was nowhere to get a single slice
If it is unsustainable for a restaurant to offer low prices, I'd rather pay a little more knowing that store stays in business if they make good food. You either get less for the same price or the same for a little more.
The $1 slice is good for the Price but it's not top quility pizza. So if the Price is going to go up so should the quility of the slice and I don't think the slice does go up. It's more of a doughy slice most of the time without the good qulity of a better pizza.
@@jameskennedy552But keeping the price the same just makes the pizza even worse. Keeping it $1 means you either take a loss or be forced to use cheaper possibly less quality ingredients. You wouldn't eat a pizza made with processed cheese.
@@Alec_Reaper sure but if the quality is gonna be the same who cares? I get that prices are going up so it’s hard to keep prices low sometimes but I’d pay more if I knew I was getting something better than what I would get when it was a $1. But I’m not the quality is usually the same even when prices rise. There are still $1 places but the quality doesn’t seem to get better when the prices get higher.
@@jameskennedy552Prices increases are done in order to maintain quality. If you wanted improved quality, then they would have to raise prices by an even greater amount. $1 > $1.50 = Maintaining quality. $1 > $2 or $2.50 = Improving quality.
2 bros may be iconic (no doubt) but their pizza is some of the lowest quality crust in the city (even among dollar slices), when people talk about cardboard this is it. some spots managed to do quality dollar slices but they were few and far between, "THE BEST" on 23rd and 7th comes to mind as the best i ever tried personally.
I'm amazed it was viable 15 years ago, let alone today. People making pizza need to make a living, have good working conditions and use quality ingredients.
As a New Yorker, dolla slices were IT! When I went back home and learned they were not longer a buck, it saddened me to face the end of an era. But nonetheless, buck fifty slice still hits! And that dude Hakki and his passion for the people truly touched me. Great person with a greater cause. Looking forward to my next trip home and stopping by a shop of his.
I'm not mad at those $1.00 - $1.50 slices. you get what you paid for and it gets you by. What i do have a problem with is for those pizza shops that sell slices for over $2.50 and it taste nothing better than those $1.00 slices and if not, worse.
8:06 99c in 2005 is $1.56 in 2023 dollars. I think it's fair for an increase, unless you're OK with either a decrease in portion and/or decrease in ingredients quality / quantity
The iconic $1 slice New York pizza 🍕 is one of the main reasons why I've spent 30+ years dreaming of going to NY. Good pizza is hard to find here in Perth Australia 😅
The Gentleman who owns Champion is a good human being and I believe he will continue to do well because when you care about people and help others it always comes back. But as far as the $1.00 slice goes if everything has gone up and he doesn't raise his prices a bit to compensate he loses money and you don't keep a business open long losing money. He said pepperoni was $40.00 and now it's $120.00 if people want $1.00 slices go to those places but don't gripe about the quality of the food.
I miss my real New Yorkers, the ones who truly care about their neighbors. People think the city is cold, it's not. It can be rough finding your space, but at the end of the day, a New Yorker will go out of their way to help you out. Props to the shop owners keeping it affordable and helping feed the city's less fortunate.
You are telling me that i can get two slices of pizza AND a can of soda for 3.99 with taxes already included?!?!?!?!?! That's a steal! I feel like I get two small cheeseburgers from McDonalds and after tax it's like 5 bucks. And the pizza would definitely be more filling. That's wild.
I stopped through NYC after visiting Italy. I can genuinely say I enjoyed the dollar slices as much as that in Italy, but it’s almost like they’re different foods. I’m fine if it goes up to $2. It’s been at $1 forever, $2 is still very affordable.
I'm glad that dude mentioned the real starter of the dollar slice at 41st & 9th. I remember my friends took me there back in like 2007 and having my mind blown that a 99 cent slice existed lol. Then over the years would go to Two Bro's a lot of the time. But the best dollar slice I ever had was from a location at 2nd Ave & 4th street in the East Village.
... from Hollywood (i.e. Los Angeles, CA): i am LOVING (more like DESIRING) this episode. as a PIZZA lover, it would be on my BUCKET LIST to try a NEW YORK STYLE fresh slice of pizza! ❤️✌️
.99 cent fresh still had dollar slices. I was at the one on 43rd on Tuesdsy. They are still on Lexington, too. Both are perfect for grabbing a quick slice on the way to Grand Central
13:59 this was so beautiful! I hope all poeple could learn to be this kind towards someone who doesn't have much and or nothing at all. This is a beautiful conclusion to a story that was about pizza 🍕! Eat it! It good for you! 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕
I visited NYC a few years ago. I had 99 cent pizza. I must say, it was second best tasting pizza I had on our trip. I don’t know what the store was called. It just said 99 cent pizza. It was great. The best pizza I tried was Di Fara’s. Maybe because I had to wait 2 hours and I was starving by then 🤣
"Why'd you have to go from $1 to $1.50?" Dumb question. Anyone who has bought ANYTHING in the last few years knows why. The question people don't ask is what led to that.
Just like groceries are rising, the cost of cheese, flour, etc are growing for these businesses too. If quality suffers, people won't buy the food so they have to raise the price to keep the quality. I feel like they chose the right path. I'm sure they did the math to make sure they weren't price gouging But also 1 peso doesn’t = $1 usd so 😅
Scott is super cool. I ran into him at a coffee shop in Brooklyn. He was very friendly and of course loved talking pizza! He had pizza vans on! Don’t forget the pepper sauce with the calzone at Lucali! 🤣🙌🏼🫡
Man I loved my Dollar slices in collage and when times were tough, and I still hit em up when rushing for my commute, but I am fortunate enough to have a little more cash and an 8.1 by Barstool pizzeria within a block of my work (Freddie and Peppers!!!!) that is 3.75 for a regular plain and worth every cent. Perfect cheese and sauce. Love me some 2 Bros but im going for that quality when I am getting older. Heck a Two Boots just opened on UWS that I need to check out. Lunch for tomorrow is solved...
You told some amazing stories of immigrants who made it big in America while giving back to people in need. This was a great video! Thank you for sharing!
I made pizza for 12 years. It is without a doubt the most fast paced and stressful job I've ever had. But I'm proud to say I can still turn out a large pie in under 45 seconds.
Where I live at all the places that want to recognize as NY style want to charge like $4+ for a cheese slice. Makes me only want to consider a whole pie.
Love your show it teaching me about culture food great pizza 🍕 in Beautiful NEW York how great pizza 🍕 maker live that so beautiful love peoples in NEW YORKER love you all from Toronto Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 god bliss you all for making great amazing pizza 🍕
Thanks! Very interesting video. I can't count how many slices I've grabbed over the years. Still my go-to now that I regularly travel to NYC for quick visits. The $1 slices are def good value. The typical $3 slice is not even close to being 3x the quality.
The thing about NY pizza that you can hardly find anymore is this. Yeah it's a dollar, maybe 1.25, but if you can eat it without a napkin and grease dripping down all over you, that aint my NY pizza that I grew up on. I was born in 1972 and I didnt even have to go to the city to get that great pizza. The boardwalk at Long Beach or Jones Beach, you could smell it way before you even got there, and ya get a paper plate, an hope there are enough napkins in the holder at the table. I miss that pizza. People are too healthy now and dont want it greasy, and those are the people that think they know what true NY pizza is. Not 1 pizza slicein this video had grease dripping from it. RIP real NY pizza.
Isnt peso its own currency? a slice for (current exchange rate) for 0.055 USD would be a hella good deal. note: I know they were being quirky and in the moment
Thumbs up if you think a slice should be $1 in NYC!
The ingredients used to make the pizzas are more expensive than that. There is no way these restaurants will make money selling anything for a dollar besides maybe napkins in NYC.
In a dream world, but that’s not how inflation works.
👍👍👍 there’s a $1 pizza near my school and i go there for lunch
@@BeachJedi101 Exactly. Their ingredients costs have increased so up goes the price. Pretty simple.
Not on your side for this one. I actually avoid $1 slices now. Skeptical of them, of the ingredients. They taste and feel too cheap now.
Even at $1.50, they probably are making razor thin margins on the slices now compared to only a few years ago. Prices on supplies has more than doubled in some cases.
So half the size of the slice
Thanks to the strong bidenomics! ROARING ECONOMY!
$12 for a large pizza sounds typical
honestly, it doesnt take a lot to make a pizza like that...with $18 they still make a lot of profit on it!
The question was leading tbh.
The real question should be.. do you think a 50 cent increase in pizza is worth keeping the quality and employees employed? Or should they stay a dollar and cut corners.

This. "Nooo! Things should stay the same price forever" without any other nuance is such an braindead take, it was honestly hard to watch this.
Even $1.50 for a slice is insane! A slice of cheese at the place near me is $6. But I don’t have to pay $2700/month to live in a closet so it balances out.

Ok John Pizza @@MrXrellikx
$1.50 for a slice that size, and of decent quality, is SO CHEAP in 2023.
Big shout to Champion Pizza. It's cool that they show love to students and their community as well.
That's the thing about national pizza chains. They will never intentionally be part of the community. That said, those rare special franchisees give back.
He's such a great human being. We need more people like him
Yup, NYU students who literally hate working class Americans.
Thanks Nicole for telling Hakki’s story and to Champion Pizza for really looking out for the community - stories like these need to be told!
Hakki....what an amazing man. In this day and age where we are surrounded and innundated with people only caring about profit and getting ahead, he truly is a diamond in the rough and we need ten MILLION more people like him in this world to be better.

Growing up in Chicago there were a handful of places that had $ 1 hot dogs, $ 2 combo with fries. Watching it go up and up over the years was sad but I also understood how they had to keep up with raising costs. Either way I'm glad to have grown up at least partially in the golden era

You either get less for the same price or the same for a little more.
Or the government fixes things and you get more food and pay less like we all want

I can’t believe you can get anything for $1 in NYC. It’s at least $3 a slice in Orlando FL, where the cost of living is substantially lower.
In California the average is about $4-$6 per slice 🥲 Unless you go to Costco
I'm shocked it's not at least $2 a slice already.
Preach

Every New York landlord agrees. It couldn't be any easier to scam these geniuses.
Those prices are awesome. Meanwhile Ontario Canada pizza is crazy prices.
I used to work just up the street from the Big Slice on Yonge, in Toronto. Was a bargain for years, then not so much.
People charging 40 bucks for a pie in Toronto 😮
There’s a simple solution for that; go to the store, buy your own ingredients and make it yourself
God bless that man. The world needs more like him.
Champion Pizza has awesome Pizza if you are in Lower Manhattan, really cool to see the owner's story.
$1.50 for a slice is a steal! It’s like $5.50 here in Canada for a slice and a can of pop.
Dang I was just in ny all day yesterday and last night , I went on a pizza hunt ahha
Keep up the hard work 💪✌️💯

$1/ slice is too cheap. I understand the struggle of business owners.
i'm so glad i clicked on this. Food is central to so many important stories, and this captured that very well.

$1.50 - $2.50 is still very reasonable.

The dollar slice disappeared when a bag of Utz at the bodega went above $1.00.
Still less than subway fare tho.
