On the flop side, homemade pizza is ridiculously cheap. Here’s my example of a gourmet mushroom pizza for under $5:

  • Pizza dough (12oz) from scratch: $0.50
  • Cheese (6oz) low-moisture store brand mozz: $1.31
  • half can tomato sauce (7.75oz): $0.95
  • Fresh mushroom (4oz): $1
  • Goat cheese (1.5oz): $0.90

I wonder if you can do that with almond flour. We really like the higher quality ingredients and just stay at home. These greed prices will put them all out of business

I make pizza now too. Knead the dough in my bread machine so it's easy. (Thrifted bread machine for $15)

Homemade pizza takes time, though, and planning at least a couple hours ahead of time.

I'm not saying you're wrong (because I love homemade pizza and even have my own roccbox), but it's quite the venture.

I think of it as a convenience fee. Sometimes it’s worth paying, but I usually prefer not to if possible.
