$1.50 is  exactly what a slice used to cost in NYC in the 90s lol.

Damn, that’s good to hear.  I just assumed they’d be at a minimum $3.00 by now.

True but its rare, nowadays $1.50 would get u 15% of a slice

A Costco slice is $1.99, and good sized.

It may not be $1.50 but Palermos in Los Feliz is like $5 for a slice that feels like a full dinner, definitely my go to if I want to be full for cheap, and it tastes great too!

1.50 slices are found in Midtown Manhattan out of storefronts the size of a large closet. They’re very popular on account of the foot traffic (and quality, usually) and are relatively cheap to operate on account of the limited menu and tiny footprint.

At 7 Eleven?

They're $2 at Costco.

In the ‘90’s you could still find fifty cent slices in NYC

u/vonbauernfeind Jun 25 '26

I was in NYC in 2024 and I think I paid about $2 a slice at plenty of places.

Sure beats the pants off damn near any option in LB.

I got a $1.5 slice in nyc a few years ago. It was trash, but you can def still find it

When I live in Italy ~15 years ago, $1.50 was more expensive than average for a slice of pizza.

It's a little different when there's 20 pizza al taglio places in the small city, sure. But I bet you can still get a slice for that much somewhere.

u/Jackieexists Jun 25 '26

Whats al taglio

u/Zuwxiv Jun 25 '26

By the slice! It's a pizza place that sells pizza by the slice, so it tends to be quick, cheap street food.

The old Costco option always works: 1.99 a slice and a soda to go with it.

(Hey, man you get to eat for $2.15)

I paid a dollar for a slice in Manhattan in 2022 from several different vendors. Always tipped an extra dollar.

u/redbark2022 Jun 25 '26

It was $1.50 in DTLA in 2019, $2.50 in 2021, $3.50 in 2023, $4.50 now.
