Let’s see…you live in NYC and have a new 911 so I assume you are “filthy rich” by most people’s definition (not a snub because I am too - well maybe just grubby rich rather than filthy) and you complain that junk food costs too much. I guess we all live in Lala land.

A plain pizza around here is $17. A salad could mean any number of things, but $10 is reasonable for a simple side salad. I haven’t bought a soda in literally 50 years, but I’d guess a drink would be $4. So that’s $31. 20% tip brings that to say $37. With tax say $40 out here in the boonies. Compared to NYC, I would have guessed you would pay way more than $50. I don’t know if your pizza had toppings or if your drink was a quart (small) or a gallon (large). Either way, it sounds like a bargain to me!

I was offered an allocation for a Macan 4 and did not skimp on options and came in around $95k.

You gotta get the inflation buster at Costco, large pizza and all the Pepsi you want to drink for $15.

I like a lot of stuff from Costco, but their snack bar pizza is not good.

I'll say it - I like Costco pizza. I'm going to eat it tonight when I go there.

Over the last two years, I've watched my "demand order" build increase by about $15,000 USD and lose the option for Shark Blue. It's a tough pill to swallow, but these things aren't getting any cheaper. The used market isn't what it once was, but if you're thinking about getting a 911 and can get an allocation, I'd grab it ASAP.

NY has the highest pizza prices in the US, that's what is going on here. A steak dinner at Texas Roadhouse is less.

The pizza place I go to in Long Island has regular pizza pie for $23. I used to get them in Queens at an Italian owned pizza place for $12 15 years ago. But I've just started to make my own food more often. Cheaper and better. What's annoying is my property taxes are in the 20s. That's only going to go up.

Costco pizza is horrendous by the way. I'm pretty sure it's just frozen pizza they bake in the oven. Churros are the same.

Is this a pizza (food related) thread now? 😂.

Edit: Kidding… not kidding.

Yup, this is exactly why I'm getting out of my NSX now and into the Carrera T. Allocations here in Canada have been slim and really about who you know therefore I pounced when given the opportunity to order.

I'm a pineapple on pizza fan...lol

I like the pizza, but I'm primarily a $1.50 hotdog kind of guy

Expect models and options to become more abundant and expensive.
I would be surprised if prices ever came down in the future.
There are many markets that are extremely underserved.
I watched a finance-focused interview of the CEO where he stated that they will be increasing prices to generate more revenue.

Fun fact: The OG NY metro Italian pizzaiolos pegged the price of a slice of pizza to the price of a bus/train fare.

Do they still have the horrible only when sh*t-faced $1 slice places everywhere?

When are 911 price increases usually announced? I remember June in past years.

It is call Capitalism. If you are selling every 911 you can make why wouldn't you keep rising prices to increase your profit. Sure inflation is a factor but look at Porsche profit per vehicle. Also the stock market has been on a tear since 2008 the longest running bull market maybe in history. People have made a ton in the market which makes the price increase virtually insignificant. A neighbor just purchased a Yukon Denali for over $100k and that's not even an Escalade which seems to be to make 911 prices in line .
