NYC is home to the most expensive pizza in the country
With the plethora of top-notch pizzerie in NYC, we are not surprised to be the home of the best pizzeria in the U.S. But a new study puts our joints on top of a different ranking, one that we might not want to be a part of: New York has been crowned the city with the priciest pizza in the U.S.
According to a report released by Clever Real Estate earlier this year, the average price of a large cheese pie in the Big Apple is $28.60, about double what it would cost you in Richmond, Virginia, where, according to the survey, the food is cheapest across the nation ($14.75 per pie). That number is also significantly higher than the average cost of a pie in the United States as a whole, which is $19.34. According to the study, that’s about 4% more than last year.
To come up with the results, which also delve into the nation’s favorite cities for pizza and more, Clever Real Estate compared the 50 largest metro areas in the United States by population, analyzing data across a number of categories, including average Yelp rating for local restaurants, local Google search volume for pizza-related terms, the cost to buy a large pie each week as a percentage of median annual income, the local price of a large pepperoni pizza and more.
Based on all that information, the company also found that (surprise, surprise… not), New York pizza is (once again!) considered the best in the country.
Below, find the ten most expensive U.S. cities when it comes to pizza prices:
1. New York, New York: $28.60

MUSIC MONDAY: “AfroPunk: Reggae Meets Punk” Playlist (LISTEN)
by Marlon West (FB: marlon.west1 Threads: @stlmarlonwest IG: stlmarlonwest Spotify: marlonwest)
While Reggae is a true import from Jamaica, it really gained a global footing in England. It and Punk both arose out of the economic depression and social inequality in the late 1960’s and 1970’s.
Many Reggae songs of the time like Bob Marley’s “Punky Reggae Party” and “Concrete Jungle” were overt commentary on life in London, while many Punk artists adopted some of these traits and spreading a message of rebellion against the Establishment.
The Clash, The Police, and others used reggae beats in the early tracks. “(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais” tells he story of The Clash’s Joe Strummer, Don Letts and others attending an all-night reggae showcase that was headlined by Dillinger, Leroy Smart and Delroy Wilson.
He was not the only one to see that punks and Rastas shared a same idea of freedom and of rebellion against social norms and the setting of said norms.
Hope you enjoy this free-wheeling collection of songs celebrating the intersection of Reggae and Punk. As always, stay, safe, sane, and kind.
I’ve included tracks for the “Second Wave” of ska where bands like The Specials, English Beat, and Selector combined traditional ska song and grooves with a sped-up rhythms of punk music, introducing ska to new generations.
I’ve also included tracks from “Rocket To Kingston” credited to Bobby Ramone. It is a melding of the isolated vocal tracks from Bob Marley dropped over edited Ramones backing tracks. It shouldn’t work, but it does.
