A video pointing out the price for a pie at Di Fara Pizza at the Caesars Palace food hall has gone viral. Posted on Saturday on Las Vegas YouTube influencer Jacob Orth\u2019s Twitter<\/em> feed, “This is How Crazy Food Prices Are in Las Vegas”<\/a> garnered 300K views and nearly 100 comments in a day.<\/p>\n

\"Di
Di Fara Pizza’s prices in Las Vegas apparently adhere to the same three rules as real estate: location, location, location.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And the price quoted on Di Fara\u2019s menu, $52.99 for a pepperoni pizza, apparently increased another dollar since the video was posted. According to the restaurant\u2019s internet menu, the same pie is now $53.99. (The price of a regular cheese pie increased from $49.99 to $50.99.)<\/p>\n

The current price for a regular pie at Di Fara Pizzeria\u2019s original Brooklyn, NY location — opened in 1965 — is $25.<\/p>\n

Granted, the cost to lease a space in Caesars Palace\u2019s Forum Food Hall — with its guaranteed heavy and hungry food traffic — could very well be double what it costs in Brooklyn. However, that didn\u2019t stop nearly 100 Twitter users from venting their hanger against predatory pricing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re gouging the tourists and seemingly they don\u2019t care and are willing to pay,\u201d commented Twitter user @TomD80106675. \u201cI defy any local going there saying, \u2018I\u2019m ok with a $53 pizza that looks like a chain store Marcos $10 pie.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201dFrom 2003 to 2019, I went to Vegas 2x yearly,\u201d added @SEGamingReport. \u201cGreat food, decent prices, fun gambling. Why should I consider going back now? I’m down $2000 before I show up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s embarrassing,\u201d commented @mizzoulegend. \u201cGrimaldis is right across the street and that pizza, but much better than a food court presentation, is $26.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBig fat NAY!!!\u201d commented @tamieliel. \u201cThis makes me so angry and sad too.😡\u201d<\/p>\n

One commenter claimed he was so incensed when he saw the pizzeria\u2019s menu in person, it inspired him to orchestrate an act of civil disobedience.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw that price\u2026took my phone out\u2026Found the nearest Pizza Hut, Ordered 2 pizzas, Wings, & 2 Two liters\u2026Had it delivered, gave the guy a $15 tip\u2026sat in their dining area & handed out pizza, wings & drinks\u2026.I spend so much money there all security said was SAVE US SOME,\u201d wrote @Globalsportsbet.<\/p>\n

To be fair, there were a few defenders of Di Fara, which then-New York City mayoral candidate Bill de Blasio declared to be his \u201cfavorite pizza\u201d in 2013. They included @_BrittTaylorr, who commented: \u201cThis is Di Fara. It’s in its own catalogue of pizza. Yes it\u2019s expensive, it’s the only store other than the OG. It’s a New York legendary pie. if you want pizza hut it\u2019s down the street.\u201d<\/p>\n

Added @jrstew2016: \u201cIt’s the STRIP. Of course it’s gonna be expensive. You should add context behind stuff like this. There’s places on the strip that aren’t this expensive. Or off the strip that aren’t far.\u201d<\/p>\n
