I remember 15+ years ago in OG southern Brooklyn where there used to be 10 pizzerias within a mile they were already charging $1.50 a slice.

Yeah, back in the 90s there were always pizzerias charging $1.25 or $1.50. I'm pretty sure that's why the dollar slice places became such a novelty.

They blew up in the 2008 crash when when they could get super cheap rent in high visibility areas. I remember in 2009 when a couple stores across the street in Manhattan got into a price war, I think they got down to like 79c a slice before they declare a truce.

If $4 is too much for dinner, maybe you should go somewhere else.
