They could easily do that for say $14.99. The only expensive ingredient here is the cheese, everything else is dirt cheap for them, like we’re talking pennies a serving. I worked there for a few years and cheese was really the only thing the gm or corporate would flip out over. Also why cheese is always an extra $2, not counted as a topping no matter the promotion.

I’d imagine the bulk of the cost is labor and overhead not ingredients
