Uber, Postmates Agree on $2.65B All-Stock Deal

You can't really compare a cheap frozen pizza to a chain pizza. They are bigger, for one.

I've read before that a Hot-n-Ready from Little Caeser's is sold for $5.55 but costs $3.50 in just ingredients. They don't make any money on those.

The breadsticks that they sell for $3.99, the cup of marinara for $1.99, the $13 veggie pizza and the $15 supreme pizza is where the money is made. Do you think there's an extra $10 in toppings on those supreme pizzas? Don't forget the bottles of soda..

That was the price for fresh, not frozen, and they're not small. Smaller than the large £20 pizza from the chain, sure, but not necessarily smaller than the £10-15 one.

The link is talking about a $11 pizza, that was briefly on sale for $5 (and still making a profit). It's not a $5 pizza.

Are you familiar with a hot n ready? That is a large one topping pepperoni, they are always $5-6 depending on location. It’s been this way since 1997
