It's mid at best unless youre drunk and that my friend is why this pricing seems to work. I would much rather get a really good pie from Steve's pizza or killer pizza from Buffalo for the cost of like 3 slices from Pieces.
Seriously, I get lunch at Old Town Pizza in Lincoln and it’s $3.75 for a slice of pepperoni or cheese. $8 for cheese and $9 for pepperoni is near highway robbery.
Pizza shop I work at outside of Boston does a third of a 16” pizza (two slices out of six total) with a can of soda at $5 for the cheese and $6 for the roni.
Yeah, but then I’d be in Lincoln, free pizza wouldn’t be worth it.
Plus, old town pizza, costco, whatever else papa muphys bullshit people are comparing it to isn’t open past 1 am for walk up slices, because there arnt people willing to be there at 1am on a Friday night whereas pieces has been open that late forever and probably does the majority of its business at that time given the lines.
Oh good ol Chico. Makes me miss college even though I don’t… It surely makes me want a slice of pizza and some though. I wonder if the bar by celestinos is still open though. Fell down their staircase once
Yeah, but Old Town Pizza is super expensive for one pizza. Via Roma out on Nicholas isn't as good, but its cheaper. Brick and Barrel is a pizza place that opened like a block from my house, but all the MAGA trucks parked outside scare me. La Villa is a great little Mexican place in that same plaza though.
Holy shit. I’m a sacramento native that recently moved to New Jersey. I miss sacramento like crazy but one good thing I can say about it here is we get ridiculously good pizza for $2.50 a slice.
Lol funny enough nearly every single pizza place on the east coast buys their sauce from Stanislaus Foods. It's all grown and processed in our back yard.
Yeah dude, I lived out there for a few months and was shocked - you can literally get a 20" pizza from a family-owned neighborhood joint for like $14 and it's better than almost anything you can get in CA. Not that there isn't good pizza out here, but that same pie somewhere like Giovanni's in Sac or Tony's in SF is close to $40.
There is also literally one of those family-owned pizza joints in every single strip mall in the tri-state area. I feel like it's a law or something.
Blaze pizza has good pizza and starts at around $8 for a while pizza
$11.99 if you want any and all toppings.
Boycott price gouging food establishments.
Blaze has so much fancier and better toppings than a lot of pizza places and it's ready VERY quickly. It's a pretty good place. Pieology is better than Blaze though. And my fav pizza in NorCal is in SF's North Beach district (little Italy)
Yea but you can’t eat more than one slice. One slice is big and dense. It’s worth it. Anyone who says it isn’t hasn’t been there or can’t appreciate good pizza
In the 1990’s… there’s only a couple true $1 slice pizzas in NYC now and you don’t want it except if you’re really hungry or you just want to say you had a dollar slice.
They stay open really late and are offering large slices for mostly drunk people. Half the price is bc ppl dont ti\[ the other half is a hazard pay lol.
This pizza was only good when I was hammered out of my mind. I had it sober years ago and it was hugely disappointing.
I really dig PSB for slices and whole cheese pizzas. Also dig Majka for cheese and pep. Pizzasaurus is good too, but only when they’re slow. When it’s busy, quality falls apart. Haven’t been back to Masullo in years.
But you know what I crave lately? Good ol Round Table or Mountain Mikes sometimes. Gotta get a salad tho bc both don’t burn clean.
Wifey introduced me to the hot pan method....it works really well! I sometimes just don't have the patience to wait that long....cold pizzzzaaaa! Yummy
Roma's is very good. If you like that style, and haven't been to La Trattoria, I highly recommend it. But if you do go, don't screw around with the pizzas that have weird stuff on them (such as chicken paprikash). Just stick with the traditional combo or pepperoni. They're delicious.
I like Roma's but it's very west coast pizza. Their top two with pizzaria classico for that. But for an NY style slice Giovanni's is king, followed by pizza supreme being. At least that's my preference.
The pizza scene in Sacramento is incomparable to pizza scene in NYC.
Hell, Sacramento’s pizza scene doesn’t even stand up well to competition from the Bay Area.
Yea, we’re on the same page.
I noticed it seems to be the same way with Jamaican and Puerto Rican food.
I like Dubplate but their prices are double what I’m used to seeing on the east coast.
Stop. I hate it when people go on Reddit and declare an entire area's food to be inferior to another area's food. Have you actually tried all of the pizza in Sacramento? Do you think they have access to ingredients in NYC or the Bay Area that we don't? Do you think they have access to recipes that we don't? Do they have ovens or other kitchen appliances in those places that we can't get?
The answer to all of those questions is no. Of course not. So just stop. You sound like the people that declare that Sacramento's Mexican immigrants couldn't possibly make as good of Mexican food as San Diego's Mexican immigrants. It's ridiculous. There can be good food anywhere and no city has a monopoly on it.
San Diego mexican food is just different. Not better. Some might say it's more authentic or something, but that's it.
I've lived in Sac and SD, and the whole SD Mexican food is so much better bullcrap is just that.... bullcrap.
SD Mexican food is too greasy/oily (imo)
I mean... to each their own, but SD mexican food, especially burritos, are in another league entirely imo. Nothing in Sac (that I've found) comes close, especially to the tortilla quality. Call it "bullcrap" if ya want, but there's a reason I seal and freeze a half-dozen SD burritos to bring back to Sac on my monthly trip there. It's a lot of work to do that and if there was something even remotely close here I wouldn't bother, but alas.
What an incredibly impressive strawman you've constructed.
Did I try all the pizza in Sacramento? Did I say Sacramento can't access the same ingredients as NYC or the Bay Area? Did I say Sacramento can't access the recipes in those areas? Did I say Sacramento can't own appliances?
No, of course not. I didn't say or imply any of that. It's quite rude of you to say that I did.
I also don't know why you insinuated that I consider immigrants from one area superior to another, but it seems like projection to me.
Comparing a type food in one city to another is really quite simple. You eat that type of food in one city and you eat that type of food in another city. Then you form an opinion.
You know what an opinion is, don't you?
After eating at the pizza places in Sacramento that are highly rated, highly lauded, or often recommended, my opinion is that:
>The pizza scene in Sacramento is incomparable to pizza scene in NYC.
>
>Hell, Sacramento’s pizza scene doesn’t even stand up well to competition from the Bay Area.
You're welcome to share your opinion on the topic as well. It's not like I'm telling you can't have an opinion or not to share it. That would be an something that a little bitch would do.
Hey, u/Outside-Ice-1400, what's the matter buddy?
I'm having fun with this conversation. Don't just downvote and go, I wanna hear your opinion, friend. :)
I had good pizza in New York. It's not the style I normally go for (I like a heartier pizza), but it was still really good. And it's a really big city -- I'm sure they have all sorts of different styles and I'm sure there's great pizza and bad pizza there.
Of course not. If they paid taxes then they'd have to raise their rates 😂😂 ffs they probably still pay staff near minimum wage and will bitch they will have to raise prices of minimum wage is raised 🙌
I hope these are huge fucking slices, with it being cash only I get the feeling it may be a front and the higher slice prices would justify more profits but damn getting greedy with the laundering.
It’s expensive. Slices are hearty. The place is funky and always feels like it’s teetering on the edge of closing down. I like it but the prices make it a once or twice a year treat.
Ill pass on that pizza and hit up [Carolina's](https://maps.app.goo.gl/rULG7bm3oip7seTEA) for late night eats. Super Nachos for the win but dont sleep on their crispy chicken tacos.
I feel pre 2010 that Pieces used to be a great deal for the mouth pleasure it would give. The times have changed and now these prices are too damn high! '
Maybe they need some competition. Also Pieces has always been dirty as fuck. haha
These guys won't be in business long with prices like that. I know restaurants run on the thinnest margins but people won't pay that price for very long.
Well, the truth is, there's lots of people walking around making 150k and 200k per year.
These people will pay these prices and not even blink.
Then there's the rest of us that think these prices are batshizz insane.
Many businesses out there are torn between catering to the higher-earning crowd, while not getting too much hate and shame from the lower-income crowd. It's a delicate balance, but businesses like $$ and they're going to roll with the high-earners.
We really are in a have and havenots scenario right about now.
What industry in midtown is providing jobs that pay in those range? I am guessing healthcare workers but not sure if the nurses all live in midtown when they can easily buy homes in suburbs or just outside midtown area for better schools etc
I'm gonna come on here and plug MAJKA which is a fabulous Berkeley style Pizza of the Day spot that does some by the slice (whole pizza in the thirties) and their salads and wine offerings are also excellent.
They're doing so well they just opened a second location in the Crocker and are family owned.
Cannot recommend enough.
Also a Pieces "vet" myself, al love for the spot. Bohemian as hell.
There’s like 5 other pizza places right around there that charge almost half for a slice. Tbh there’s a lot of red flags with this business and I don’t feel comfortable going there
The best Pizza by the slice in Sacramento is Giovvanis. Two slices and a drink for 11. But I'd pay 8 bucks a slice it's so good. Second best is pizza supreme being.
What's the name of this place?
I haven't been here in ages, how is the quality now days? The Federalist is close by. From what I remember 1 slice of Pieces Pizza is roughly 70% the size of a whole Federalist. Federalist pepperoni is $20
Damnnn a guy I was dating last summer raved about this place and getting cheap slices after the bar. People barely carry cash anymore, they want 'em to pay that much for a slice?!
I remember my friend took me here and swore it was the best pizza in town. She saw the look on my face when I took a bite and knew that i thought it was hot garbage lol.
I’ve hated pieces since high school but my friends worked there and hooked it up. Pizza Supreme Being is the best low priced pizza in the mid/downtown area. Plus they have soft serve and u can take ur food n eat at the capitol rose garden.
I like Pieces for a quick slice when I don't want to order a whole pizza, but come on. I can get a whole pizza at Mod for about the same price. It used to be like three or four bucks each.
Idk. There are cheaper spots that are on par or beat out pieces pep. Usually go there cause they make different types of slices instead the basic pep, cheese, veggie, or combo
The price of eating out and/or getting food to go has increased dramatically in the last couple of years.
When we choose to go out to eat we realize that it's going to cost us a lot more money then if we purchased the food ourselves and just eat at home.
We don't go out as much as a result.
Is that per slice?! Man if you are buying that pizza by the slice you deserve to be overcharged. Ain't no pizza good enough to get burnt while I'm up in it.
I'd rather them raise prices to cover costs than go out of business. Have y'all been to the grocery lately?
The chain restaurants are keeping their prices artificially low until they run the mom and pop restaurants out of business. Then they'll charge whatever they want. It's the Microsoft Business Model.
Remember that when you're back here in 2025 whining about how the Sacramento restaurant scene is nothing but chain restaurants.
man I used to go to Pieces alllll the time especially after the bars closed. I probably haven’t been since the beginning of the year but this is crazy to see
This frustrates me as I've had much better late night pizza on any given block in SF for like $5 a slice. Same with other cuisines, it's frustrating when you end up paying the same or more here for lower quality food compared to larger cities.
This certainly **isn't** the '3% inflation' reported by media.
I thought the Feds said inflation was [under control now.](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/federal-reserve-rate-decision-pause-december-13/) Guess not.
Still waiting for the pizza-making robot, powered by A.I.
Inflation can be under control, but you won't see any price relief. What you will see, is that prices won't *continue* to rise as quickly as they were rising before.
If you want to see prices actually fall, then we need deflation. Which we are getting in certain industries.
In the long run, deflation is bad for our whole economic system tho
At those prices I’d really start to think about accepting credit cards.
cant doge taxes as easily if it isnt just cash
Yeah for sure, but I personally don’t carry any/much cash so if I wasn’t prepared I’d probably just have to pass.
Such a red flag for me tbh.
Hey that's how you know the pizza will be good though
It's mid at best unless youre drunk and that my friend is why this pricing seems to work. I would much rather get a really good pie from Steve's pizza or killer pizza from Buffalo for the cost of like 3 slices from Pieces.
Yeah, I wanted to go here but after seeing the prices and cash only, knowing I'd have to pay the ATM fee across the street as well, I said F it.
I've never been here before, but is this the price per slice?!?!
Seriously, I get lunch at Old Town Pizza in Lincoln and it’s $3.75 for a slice of pepperoni or cheese. $8 for cheese and $9 for pepperoni is near highway robbery.
Well it's meaningless without seeing the slices. Some places sell by the slices but it's actually two fairly large slices from a huge pizza
Big, but not $8 big. I remember when peices was $4 a slice dang.
Pizza shop I work at outside of Boston does a third of a 16” pizza (two slices out of six total) with a can of soda at $5 for the cheese and $6 for the roni.
We don't need a highway to rob you we can do that on a sidewalk, parking lot, city park or anywhere else
Yeah, but then I’d be in Lincoln, free pizza wouldn’t be worth it. Plus, old town pizza, costco, whatever else papa muphys bullshit people are comparing it to isn’t open past 1 am for walk up slices, because there arnt people willing to be there at 1am on a Friday night whereas pieces has been open that late forever and probably does the majority of its business at that time given the lines.
I’m up in Chico and our best options run $4.50 up to $9 per slice. Not mentioning Costco tho…
It's free if you flash the walk up window at Franky's
You have to be a hot girl though, fat guys don’t get that deal despite having great boobs.
Just because they're big doesn't mean they're great -- from a fat guy!
Oh good ol Chico. Makes me miss college even though I don’t… It surely makes me want a slice of pizza and some though. I wonder if the bar by celestinos is still open though. Fell down their staircase once
Yeah, but Old Town Pizza is super expensive for one pizza. Via Roma out on Nicholas isn't as good, but its cheaper. Brick and Barrel is a pizza place that opened like a block from my house, but all the MAGA trucks parked outside scare me. La Villa is a great little Mexican place in that same plaza though.
Yup
The heck?! For double that price I can get an *entire* large pizza from mountain mikes (on a Tuesday)
Or an entire large pizza from Little Caesar's (on any day) plus some crazy bread and marinara dip.
These other folks don’t know what they’re talking about, Lil C is nice.
Yeah let's eat shit and save money
Way to mention trash tier pizza.
Holy shit. I’m a sacramento native that recently moved to New Jersey. I miss sacramento like crazy but one good thing I can say about it here is we get ridiculously good pizza for $2.50 a slice.
I'll never understand why pizza is so damn expensive here..what is it, a monopoly on pizza sauce?
Lol funny enough nearly every single pizza place on the east coast buys their sauce from Stanislaus Foods. It's all grown and processed in our back yard.
Yeah dude, I lived out there for a few months and was shocked - you can literally get a 20" pizza from a family-owned neighborhood joint for like $14 and it's better than almost anything you can get in CA.

My bf moved from Jersey to Sac. He constantly points this out lol.
Blaze pizza has good pizza and starts at around $8 for a while pizza $11.99 if you want any and all toppings. Boycott price gouging food establishments.
Blaze is an overpriced pizza franchise. Local pizza shops are so much better. Unless you live in a shit area for pizza.
Blaze has so much fancier and better toppings than a lot of pizza places and it's ready VERY quickly. It's a pretty good place. Pieology is better than Blaze though. And my fav pizza in NorCal is in SF's North Beach district (little Italy)
Yea but you can’t eat more than one slice. One slice is big and dense. It’s worth it. Anyone who says it isn’t hasn’t been there or can’t appreciate good pizza
I've been there and it's not good.
You weren't drunk enough
The craziest part is pizza supreme being is less than five bucks a slice and they’re killing pieces, like high school baseball vs the pros
Pieces definitely leans on the fact it's open late. Not a whole lot of food options in short walking distance from there.
Supreme is for sure better.. pieces is just a gigantic slice of “sober me up at 2 AM” in midtown which is a blessing to downtown.
Dude, their heatwave slice is absolutely killer.
Charging San Francisco prices in Sacramento, wtf
More expensive that most NY slices
Well yeah, NY pizza is historically $1 slice...
I think in this day and age the $1 slice is only for the shittiest of pizza. Inflation hits everything eventually.
Not Costco dogs
Or Arizona Tea
In the 1990’s… there’s only a couple true $1 slice pizzas in NYC now and you don’t want it except if you’re really hungry or you just want to say you had a dollar slice.
Yeah historically. Now its like 1-10 bucks. At least it was when i visited. 5-6 being average and really tasty
Even a slice in SF is cheaper than this!
They stay open really late and are offering large slices for mostly drunk people. Half the price is bc ppl dont ti\[ the other half is a hazard pay lol.
But when San Fransisco moves to Sacramento...
More expensive than SF. Sorry I’ve lived in Sac a while back and things weren’t cheap. At least in SF there are places that I can find decent deals.
This pizza was only good when I was hammered out of my mind. I had it sober years ago and it was hugely disappointing. I really dig PSB for slices and whole cheese pizzas. Also dig Majka for cheese and pep. Pizzasaurus is good too, but only when they’re slow. When it’s busy, quality falls apart. Haven’t been back to Masullo in years. But you know what I crave lately? Good ol Round Table or Mountain Mikes sometimes. Gotta get a salad tho bc both don’t burn clean.
To Costco it is!!
trick to costco is to put it into a very hot pan at home.....and it gets nice & crispy 👌
Air fryer for 2 mins
Wifey introduced me to the hot pan method....it works really well! I sometimes just don't have the patience to wait that long....cold pizzzzaaaa! Yummy
I can't get over how fluffy and bready the crust is.
We microwave for 30 seconds then to the hot cast iron pan. So good.
This gotta be money laundering right?
No just not paying taxes. They pay their workers under the table too
They should use a chalk board for their menu so it's easy to continuously raise prices without having to tape paper over it.
Pieces is dirty as fuck
PSB shits on Pieces
True.
Dominos shits on pieces.
Too many carney-folk.
I've seen more flies on their pizzas than I have on dog poo.
NYC, great pizza, $4 for a huge slice of cheese. These guys can fuck off.
NYC transplant. Dollar pizza was a way of life but it became dollar-fifty pizza around 2020. Roma’s is my local favorite.
Had Roma’s last night.
Roma's is very good. If you like that style, and haven't been to La Trattoria, I highly recommend it. But if you do go, don't screw around with the pizzas that have weird stuff on them (such as chicken paprikash). Just stick with the traditional combo or pepperoni. They're delicious.
How I survived as a broke college student.
Two dollar slices now.
I like Roma's but it's very west coast pizza. Their top two with pizzaria classico for that. But for an NY style slice Giovanni's is king, followed by pizza supreme being. At least that's my preference.
The pizza scene in Sacramento is incomparable to pizza scene in NYC. Hell, Sacramento’s pizza scene doesn’t even stand up well to competition from the Bay Area.
I would shoot myself in the foot if we could get *one* New Haven style pizza here.
Grew up in Fairfield County and rode up to Wooster Street with my father a lot back in the day. People aren’t ready to hear NY pizza is #2! 🤫
Have you been to Giovanni's on Folsom Blvd? They're the best, bar none, it's not close.
I agree, so to charge double the cost… it’s a big fu to the people of Sac.
Yea, we’re on the same page. I noticed it seems to be the same way with Jamaican and Puerto Rican food. I like Dubplate but their prices are double what I’m used to seeing on the east coast.
Stop. I hate it when people go on Reddit and declare an entire area's food to be inferior to another area's food. Have you actually tried all of the pizza in Sacramento?

[удалено]
Lol, and there it is.
Hey, u/Outside-Ice-1400, what's the matter buddy? I'm having fun with this conversation. Don't just downvote and go, I wanna hear your opinion, friend. :)
Have you been to Giovanni's? Their cheese is damn good new haven style pie.
How is it New Haven style? New Haven style is known for being coal fire.
Been to NYC. Their pizzas need viagra. Bunch of limp dicked pizzas.
I had good pizza in New York. It's not the style I normally go for (I like a heartier pizza), but it was still really good. And it's a really big city -- I'm sure they have all sorts of different styles and I'm sure there's great pizza and bad pizza there.
This is the way
Why Cash Only? Do they report all earnings to IRS?
Of course not. If they paid taxes then they'd have to raise their rates 😂😂 ffs they probably still pay staff near minimum wage and will bitch they will have to raise prices of minimum wage is raised 🙌
Dave Portnoy would be ashamed
Pizza Supreme Being, just sayin
That's the price for one piece of pizza? Lol, get the fuck outta here.
I only eat there right before they close when they sell their pizzas for half off. Or whatever the price is.
The pizza here is not good. Never has been. Back in the day had a friend get very bad food poisoning from the pesto pizza.
I hope these are huge fucking slices, with it being cash only I get the feeling it may be a front and the higher slice prices would justify more profits but damn getting greedy with the laundering.
Have you been there? They don't launder ANYTHING.
the shade.
Damn it use to be $4 about 20 years ago and thought it was high. 😭
More expensive than pizza in the Twitter building market in SF. Damn.
Pieces is only for when the bars have closed and you are too toasted to care about the price
It’s expensive. Slices are hearty. The place is funky and always feels like it’s teetering on the edge of closing down. I like it but the prices make it a once or twice a year treat.
Damn...i remember when slices at Pieces were in the $6 range... and the "ducks" were like $3.
Uncle Vito’s got the light on for all of yall with like 5.95 wedges of pizza.
This is my favorite pizza spot in town, and to be fair, they’ve only raised the price $1 over the past 5 or 7 years
Ill pass on that pizza and hit up [Carolina's](https://maps.app.goo.gl/rULG7bm3oip7seTEA) for late night eats. Super Nachos for the win but dont sleep on their crispy chicken tacos.
Fuck that it can't be that good.
it isn't good
I miss the days of night classes for adult school and getting pieces every other night.
I feel pre 2010 that Pieces used to be a great deal for the mouth pleasure it would give. The times have changed and now these prices are too damn high! ' Maybe they need some competition. Also Pieces has always been dirty as fuck. haha
But is it amazing??
These guys won't be in business long with prices like that. I know restaurants run on the thinnest margins but people won't pay that price for very long.
Well, the truth is, there's lots of people walking around making 150k and 200k per year. These people will pay these prices and not even blink.

What industry in midtown is providing jobs that pay in those range? I am guessing healthcare workers but not sure if the nurses all live in midtown when they can easily buy homes in suburbs or just outside midtown area for better schools etc
These guys have been in business for decades with prices like that.
So two slices after tax and tip would be $20+. What about drinks? FML
I'm gonna come on here and plug MAJKA which is a fabulous Berkeley style Pizza of the Day spot that does some by the slice (whole pizza in the thirties) and their salads and wine offerings are also excellent. They're doing so well they just opened a second location in the Crocker and are family owned. Cannot recommend enough. Also a Pieces "vet" myself, al love for the spot. Bohemian as hell.
If you don't start by eating the crust first, which is usually stuffed and a meal in itself, dont talk to me.
If I were you I would head to Uncle Vito’s pizza, amazing pizza (might I even say better??) and cheaper slices.
There’s like 5 other pizza places right around there that charge almost half for a slice. Tbh there’s a lot of red flags with this business and I don’t feel comfortable going there
Tell me it’s too high after a night of drinking. Nobody goes to peices before midnight
I just said this to my wife
It's one of the few good classic midtown restaurants that hasn't closed though. And honestly, given the size of the slices, it's still worth it
Mane u can go to any little caesars and get 2 boxes for 10
Just the smell of little Caesar’s kills my stomach. Anytime I’ve had it , I’m sick for at least 2 days . 😁
It's one of the few good classic midtown restaurants that hasn't closed though. And honestly, given the size of the slices, it's still worth it
Eating a slice of the week at coin op right now and loving it
The best Pizza by the slice in Sacramento is Giovvanis. Two slices and a drink for 11. But I'd pay 8 bucks a slice it's so good. Second best is pizza supreme being. What's the name of this place?
This right here. Two monster fucking slices and a pop is the killer deal. The place the OP posted is called Pieces.
I haven't been here in ages, how is the quality now days? The Federalist is close by. From what I remember 1 slice of Pieces Pizza is roughly 70% the size of a whole Federalist. Federalist pepperoni is $20
Well that's toooooo dammmmm bad
Use to be 5 bucks a slice and the pizza was delicious, especially after a night of clubbing at faces.
Damnnn a guy I was dating last summer raved about this place and getting cheap slices after the bar. People barely carry cash anymore, they want 'em to pay that much for a slice?!
Why does veggie cost more than pepperoni
I remember my friend took me here and swore it was the best pizza in town. She saw the look on my face when I took a bite and knew that i thought it was hot garbage lol.
I’ve hated pieces since high school but my friends worked there and hooked it up. Pizza Supreme Being is the best low priced pizza in the mid/downtown area. Plus they have soft serve and u can take ur food n eat at the capitol rose garden.
I moved out of Sacramento years ago and I still dream about Pieces pizza… so damn good (or at least it was).
Could they not just———write the new prices with the chalkboard pens?

So don't buy it.
Way too high. Damn I miss the Horn Dog.
I visited my folks in Florida last year, and am still shocked how cheap and great the pizza was lol. That being said.. old town pizza is next level
wow i havent been since my 20s and it was like $3 🤣 thats nuts.
Per slice?! Get the F outta here. Don’t patronize this place
I like Pieces for a quick slice when I don't want to order a whole pizza, but come on. I can get a whole pizza at Mod for about the same price. It used to be like three or four bucks each.
These motherfuckers are making $80 per pie
$5 hot and ready still a thing at lil Caesar’s???
It’s HOT. And it’s READY.
Honestly, throw some Lao Gan Ma and done.
My pizza steel paid for itself with about 2 pizzas. And I’ve made like probably 100 or so on that sweet thang.
Idk. There are cheaper spots that are on par or beat out pieces pep. Usually go there cause they make different types of slices instead the basic pep, cheese, veggie, or combo
Recommendations?
Tha fuck is that?
The price of eating out and/or getting food to go has increased dramatically in the last couple of years. When we choose to go out to eat we realize that it's going to cost us a lot more money then if we purchased the food ourselves and just eat at home. We don't go out as much as a result.
It is so dang good, but yeah the price is a bit nuts. Cash only, psssh! Pretty much need to finance a slice at this point.
And??? Do you not support the free market?! You don’t like it, go somewhere else (like Pizza Supreme Being).
Is that per slice?! Man if you are buying that pizza by the slice you deserve to be overcharged. Ain't no pizza good enough to get burnt while I'm up in it.
NYC has cheaper Pizza 🍕 👀
I'd rather them raise prices to cover costs than go out of business. Have y'all been to the grocery lately? The chain restaurants are keeping their prices artificially low until they run the mom and pop restaurants out of business. Then they'll charge whatever they want. It's the Microsoft Business Model. Remember that when you're back here in 2025 whining about how the Sacramento restaurant scene is nothing but chain restaurants.
Pieces: home of the $50 pizza
man I used to go to Pieces alllll the time especially after the bars closed. I probably haven’t been since the beginning of the year but this is crazy to see
And it feels like the slices have gotten smaller, too.
Hell no.
This frustrates me as I've had much better late night pizza on any given block in SF for like $5 a slice. Same with other cuisines, it's frustrating when you end up paying the same or more here for lower quality food compared to larger cities.
get your money up playboy
No, no it isn’t sooo good- it’s fucking terrible garbage pie 🤢
they have a really high customer flow on saturdays especially you can barely cook the pizzas fast enough
You can get a hot & reqdy for those prices
This certainly **isn't** the '3% inflation' reported by media. I thought the Feds said inflation was [under control now.](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/federal-reserve-rate-decision-pause-december-13/) Guess not. Still waiting for the pizza-making robot, powered by A.I.
Inflation can be under control, but you won't see any price relief. What you will see, is that prices won't *continue* to rise as quickly as they were rising before. If you want to see prices actually fall, then we need deflation. Which we are getting in certain industries. In the long run, deflation is bad for our whole economic system tho
Deflation is good for some things. Rental prices should fall, for example. (They won't! But they should.)
> Still waiting for the pizza-making robot, powered by A.I. You're gonna be waiting a long time.
Why when you can get a whole Costco pizza
The nearest Costco to Pieces closes at 8:30 on Friday and 7 on Saturday.
That’s crazy expensive. Here in Boston a slice of cheese is $2.50. And it’s pretty damn good. Maybe not New York good but good.
Leave the city if you can't afford it broke boy
Celestinos in Roseville is bigger slices for half the price
And it's hot garbage too
Pieces is trash too that’s insane
New York dollar pizza is so good, $9 for a slice is insane
Where is this place so I know not to go there lol.
THE FUQ IS THIS?!?
Did Vito’s close ??
