A thin crust pizza is just a small pizza stretched out to the size of a larger pizza ... it's paying for a large pizza while asking for a small pizza.

I tell this to my wife all the time but she still loves her thin crust pizza.

It depends what you want to get for your money.

A meal you like and enjoy eating?

Or the maximum amount of pizza-ish mass per dollar?

We're spoiled ... we've had actual Neapolitan pizza that was baked in a traditional stone oven in Italy made with carefully prepared dough, fresh ingredients and thick heavy tasty mozzarella and a big ball of bufala campana cheese in the center ... pizza so thin, light and tasty that you can eat a whole one yourself and its a proper sized meal ... my wife and I both had it and that is the constant standard she is after when she orders those thin crust pizzas here in northern Ontario Canada. I keep telling her that we have to go to the city to find anything remotely like the real Italian stuff and we'll never get it anywhere else .... yet we still keep ordering thin crust pizza hoping that some day some Italian will just make us a real pizza one day and make it for us.

So it's no longer a cost/benefit thing .... just a nostalgia about pizzas past.
