And I thought that'd be normal price since we do have to pay about 150,000 to 250,000 VND for proper pizzas in Vietnam. (more or less 1,000 JPY but is still pretty high compared to our prices in common)
Good lord, almost $30 for a medium pizza! Meanwhile at the Spanish Quarter in Naples the other day, I got the most authentic pizza an American can hope for, medium-sized, for 5 euro. Last week in Rome, it was a bit more expensive (3 euro for personal size) but still in the same league. God I'm gonna miss this place terribly, going home to little caesars and 7-11 slurpees in place of neapolitan pizza and granitas
At least Pizza Hut Japan is a little better in quality compared to that of the United States (In my opinion); on the other hand, I have a local place in Kumamoto that does proper pizza using a stone oven for about the same price (we even grow olives down here!) - in general, it's not linked to quality nearly as much in Japan.
Pizza Hut Japan's price for Medium sized Pizza at 2700 yen (about 1250 PHP here) could get you a crazy-sized pizza from Big Guys Pizza at 36", a thick pizza from Sbarro, or a gourmet pizza. At 3800 yen (around 1750 PHP), add 300 more and you can get a deep dish or doubledecker pizza from Sbarro.
There's a local pizza place where I live called Eclipse and it's fucking delicious. It's more expensive than the usual Little Caesar's and Pizza Hut, but even at that, medium is $14 and large is $19.
She's just a bit ticked on why Iowa not tell her sooner about it~
Yeah. She probably would have preferred a little more planning, on Iowa's part, than to be called at the last minute to make a pair of pizzas (not to mention that Iowa wanted to treat them with a "fake pizza" at first. That's nearly an insult).
Well...here in latin america we have some franchises, and the biggest ones cost almost $12. There is a not-on-the-menu pizza that you can get for $17 and is crazy big, you can order all topping available at the moment.

That IS an insult. She's from New York! She knows how to make pizza with the best of 'em but resorted to chain delivery.
She probably looking at the delivery menu. Its usually a lot cheaper at places that have dine in to eat there, Especially if you don't mind a more local pizza. One of the best (and cheepest) places I ran into over there several years ago only served 4 sizes of 4 pizzas every day, cheese, a more Italian / Sicilian type an american type (a mix of meat Vegi and cheese) and a more or less Japanese type Every day. The ingredients were whatever they picked up fresh that day or were ready from what they had prepared, but yes it was market fresh every day. (Yes they were not afraid to put on Natto)
Buckle up, because I'm about to go on a rant I've done like three or four times which is aimed at nobody in particular and made just because the subject astounded me. Plus the headcold that's trying to kill me has me hotheaded yet with just barely enough energy to manage typing without getting winded.
One shouldn't immediately compare the quality of an American brand to the version sold somewhere else in the world, especially Asia. Americans have always had a "heavier" palette favoring sugars and fat content compared to Asia, and it's often reflected overseas.
My greatest realization of this was in KFC. I can go a few blocks down the road to my local KFC here in the northwestern tip of Washington state and no matter what kind of chicken I order, it's going to be deep fried and left somewhere between soggy and drenched with oil. Fried chicken pieces will turn the bottom of their white cardboard bucket into a brown soggy mess before I get home with them (the bucket is sold placed in a plastic shopping bag so it doesn't ruin your car's seats), and the wrappers on sandwiches will always be slick and greasy. Crispy recipe chicken is some sort of magical wonder that both crunches and squishes a payload of oil into your mouth. Then I spent two weeks in China, some in Shanghai and most in a Westernized resort town called Sanya. Because of said Westernization the vacation was pretty useless in terms of absorbing culture but it did mean they had an array of the usual restaurants found here at home, and our daily lunch stop was KFC. The place, like everywhere else, was endlessly swarmed in people ordering and eating and yet all of the chicken was perfectly baked (not fried), actually crispy, and wonderfully seasoned. You could set it on white napkins and they'd stay almost completely dry, and what was left behind was juice from the meat. This fast food was the sort of stuff we go to high-scale diners and actual restaurants for. It left me floored. Plus, heck, KFC is traditional Christmas food in Japan, so theirs must be pretty good too.
Us Americans get low-quality food because as a whole we like the taste of it. We'll complain and it'll make us fat and sick, but we'll keep going back for more of it like an addiction. It doesn't have to be that way, and in other places, it isn't. I'm not sure if the whiplash reaction of other American restaurants selling gluten-free air wrapped in kale is that much better, but at least we are starting to shift away from injecting fry oil into our veins and maybe someday they'll start selling the "Asian" versions of their food here.
It's about 10-12 USD for a medium pizza at Pizza Hut here in Thailand. The taste is OK, I guess. Nothing like a gourmet pizza, though.
Both Pizza Hut and Domino Pizza in Viet Nam is around 10~14 USD for a large size pizza. Pizza Inn is more expensive around 12~15 USD for large size pizza and currently is dying out in Viet Nam, lolz.

Come here in Venice too. Many other delicouls things await for you!!!^^
Currently at Malaysia, visiting kins. A pizza from Pizzahut over here costs around RM12 - RM43. Used to like eating at Pizzahut back then. They are a good place to eat with your family.
One day, I tasted the pizza at the now closed Zucca. Owner was an Italian Muslim. Said we were his first customers. Due to that, he gave us a lifetime of free ice lemon tea. Suffice to say, had some of my happiest moments over there. Delicious pizza, bottomless ice lemon tea, and a customer service that will make you feel at home.
Needless to say, I missed that old fart. He went missing without any notice. T'was but a simple affair; hand tossed dough, evenly spread tomato, some basil, a generous amount of cheese and beef pepperoni, served with a humble glass of ice lemon tea. Yet we still yearn for it.
