    Got a pizza from a local non chain last friday when I picked it up and was handed the boxes I said to the guy I ordered larges. They came in old medium boxes! There is a NY style joint up the road where the large is humongous.

      I thought I caught you stealing a slice or two at Mego Meet last Summer? Maybe I'm imagining things...

        I think it depends where you are in Canada and where you buy it from. I can get a large for under $15 no problem. Even the big tray that I mentioned earlier comes to under $20 including tax. Good stuff too.

          Why are pizza's extra expensve in England and Canada ?

          Don't yous raise your own tomato's ?

          What else would justify the high price ?

              I don't think anybody here does a sheet pizza,Hows the inside pieces without any crust to hold onto?

                The pieces are small enough to be easily handled without crust (your fingers might get a bit messier though). The inside pieces are always popular in our house, pizza goodness on all four sides.

                  I personally don't think that the average price of a pizza is much more expensive in Canada compared to the US. I can find a tasty but inexpensive pizza up here no problem. And sure we grow tomatoes, my wife even grows a bunch of them in our garden every summer.

                    "Large enough to reach the ground..." That was Lincoln I believe. No wonder he's the most popular President.

                    Has anyone else experienced the trend of "Gourmet Pizza" shops? I heard I could get a 10" for 32.95 made with real truffle oil. Seriously.

                    There's a few indy pizza shops around here that charge by the inch more or less, and one's pretty good (fresh garlic) but the one that would make you cry (Two Guy's) closed years back after relocating a dozen times and I still miss them.

                    Store Pizza is not real food. It's made from people. PEOPLE!!!!

                        That's probably one of the few things I miss about Buffalo. Great pizza. My favorite was place called Mister Pizza rivaled only by La Nova Pizza. My grandma (yes Italian heritage) owned a pizza shop when I was a kid and we lived next door! Can you say "unlimited free pizza"?
                        I don't know the current sizes offhand but 16" sticks in my head as XL. I don't order too much pizza as it's too overpriced in my opinion. I'm satisfied with a $2 on sale Tombstone once in awhile but when I really get the craving there's a couple places here that are close to Buffalo quality and I will splurge.
                        Nobody can touch Buffalo's chicken wings, though!

                          I strongly agree, there are some great pizzerias in Buffalo. I love Buffalo's pizzas, wings, chicken finger subs and Mighty Taco.

                              Damn, dude! Why'd you have to bring up Mighty Taco? Now my mouth is watering. Nowhere near "authentic" mexican food but the BEST tacos, man!
                              That was one of the first places I went when I was up there last summer. In fact I went 3 times while I was there!
                              I think I got "one of everything", haha
                              I remember when they first started out and they had these cheesy, low-budget, late-night commercials. I think their first location was near the mental hospital on Elmwood & Forest?
                              I used to go there on the way home from the comic shop (Fantasy World) every Friday and get a Mighty Pack, hard shells with extra hot sauce and a Cherry Coke.
                              MMMMMMM!!!
