€31.24 per Pizza!!!
₤27.17 per Pizza!!!

While back in London I could get the same Domino Pizza for ₤14
"Pepperoni Passion®
Extra pepperoni and double mozzarella cheese on a Domino’s tomato sauce base. Large (13.5") ₤14.99"

I did have the choice of the local (non chain) Pizza shop offering large pizza (15") for about ₤7 with the added bounus on 2 for 1 before 18:00

Even Costco does a whacking great square pizza for ¥1500, for me a fair deal.

So, to this campaign. A great big SO WHAT!
I must agree the bigger name pizza chains in Japan are INSANELY overpriced. Like depressingly overpriced... hey guys lets gets some pizza! yah.. ok that will be 1500 per person.. .what?? I could eat at Outback for that....
I mean, as far as eating out goes 1500 yen is not all that terrible in Japan.. but for pizza at home split between friends.. ughh.. somehow it makes my crappy store bought pizza toast taste better though I guess.
