You can't compare such to Pizza Hut or frozen Tombstone (and they aren't 
giving those away either!).  

We make pizzas completely from farmstead resources except that the wheat we 
grow only lasts a few weeks and after that it's Wheat Montana wheat (which is 
up 60% in price in one year!)  OK, we don't grow the olive oil either, but we 
pay a stiff price for the good olive oil.

If you bought sauce made from organic San Marzano tomatos, the garlic we've 
been talking about, organic onions grown from chicken manure compost, basil 
that has been harvested with scissors at just the right stage, oregano of the 
type that God eats, .... then hand mix and hand toss the dough, .... organic 
motz 
from a cow who has never been in the same county with BGH and is entirely 
grass fed most of the year, .... etc. etc.   It would cost $50  ..... IF that 
is 
IF you could find such.

Slice Gene's $40 pizza up into 10 generous slices and each would cost $4 by 
the slice.  That sound out of line?  I've seen it and for crap pizza, 
although 
I've walked distainfully by and gone home to make my own.

My beer's the same way.  $11 a pint (if it weren't illegal to sell it).  But 
it's barley malted in 5lb batches and roasted in a wood fired oven with the 
malt master babysitting it the whole time.  Guaranteed no GMO's and no 
chemicals.  Made with naturally hard spring water and hops whose background I 
can vouch 
for.


Disclaimer:  Do not try this at home without experienced homestead 
supervision.  If you eat real primo homemade pizza with a home brewed beer, 
it will ruin 
you for life.  You will wander past the beer section of stores and the chain 
pizzerias without the east desire to partake.     </HTML>
