NYC Slice
&gt; but the overall quality of your average slice in the city has definitely suffered<p>This is true of the big national chains, too. They&#x27;ve kept prices relatively stable for damn near 25 years, at this point, but quality has gotten far worse over that same time span. That mouth-watering Pizza Hut pie you remember from 1992 isn&#x27;t <i>all</i> nostalgia—every now and then I find single-location or small-chain joints that make pizza very similar to how I remember those tasting. Thing is, those are like $15+ a pie now, <i>with a coupon or special</i>. But you can still get larges for $8 or less (coupon or special, which are available 100% of the time) at the major chains—they&#x27;re just not the same pizza you were getting in the 80s up to about the late 90s.<p>[EDIT] In fact, the 2020-on inflation is the first time I&#x27;ve seen the big chains seriously give in on keeping price increases in check. They&#x27;ve gone up like 20% in the last couple years.
