Reply to comment by TheCaptainDamnIt in What the hell happened to BOP in Fells Point? by TylerFL

It’s super good Detroit pizza, but the prices are just ridiculous and are the tourist tax from their location

Underground's prices aren't even that ridiculous? I'd be surprised if I could make a full size Detroit pepperoni pie for less than $10, assuming commercial ingredient prices.

Maybe you're buying some super expensive pepperoni (idk, I'm vegetarian so I've never bought it in my life), but the unit cost for flour, salt, water, oil, cheese, and marinara sauce are pretty damn inexpensive.

I just think $22 for their full cheese or $28 for full pepperoni, along with sides >$10, seems a bit expensive but not super surprising given their being in Power Plant Live (as in, just like BOP's pricing - tourist & drunks inflation). It sucks because I love UPC's pizza.

Well, chances are they're not in PPL bc tourists, but rather bc there was an already built out pizza kitchen?

And cheese isn't that cheap. Mostly just saying that there's a clearer economic case to be made for a $22 cheese pizza than a $70 whatever it was quoted elsewhere in this thread. No idea what's up with BOP, but the real pizza absence in Fells is Italian Graffiti (especially under first owners). Shoutout to Little Italy on Broadway for the free peel when they were shutting down, though.
