2 Bros Pizza Plus Raises The Prices

Recently, one of my favorite cheap lunch spots (2 Bros Pizza Plus –see Jerk Chicken, see Pizza, see Ribs, see Fish and Chips) raised the prices mostly 25cents on each dish. Pizza slices are still $1. Still a really good deal though.

The guy behind me in line was “Oh man, they raised their prices? Why did they do that?” I turned around and looked at him like “yeah, I know. Right?” Then he kept asking me seriously, “Why did they do that?” He really wanted me to explain to him why they raised their prices 25cents. He couldn’t understand why.

Then the guy in front of me pointed at the Fried Chicken and asked if that was the Baked Chicken. Then he asked which one was the Baked Chicken. Then he got the Fried Chicken.

It was strange. These two men did not look old, poor, or stupid. They looked like me. …Oh shit.

Eden Restaurant’s $1.25 Pizza Slice

There’s cheap $1.25 pizza slices right off the Bedford stop. The signage throws me off though. Eden Restaurant? When the gates are closed and covering up the pizza sign, you’d swear there was a pizza shop right there last night. It wasn’t just a dream, was it?

The slice is what you’d expect for dollar pizza. Not bad, not great. Cheap, quick and fills you up.

$2 Rib Tips at 2 Bros Pizza Plus

Yesterday, I was picking up another $2 Jerk Chicken, but instead saw $2 Rib Tips! I’ve never seen that before. The BBQ sauce reminded me of Chinese take out ribs and the meat was super tender. I’m thinking probably boiled, then baked. I sucked on the cartilage.

$1 slice at 2 Bros Pizza Plus

The jerk chicken at 2 Bros Pizza Plus has quickly become my regular go-to lunch as of late. Only $2 for a quarter dark meat, this has to be the best chicken deal in the Flatiron area …or even city. 2 Bros for Life!

This time I tried their $1 pizza slice with Shonali, that every high school kid there devouring. It’s not great pizza, but good enough for most situations. I saw three pizzas come out of the oven, sliced up and sold immediately while we were in line. That’s how fresh you get it. I would say it’s worth more like a $2 NYC slice. Here’s a interesting NYTimes article about the $1 pizza slices of New York and how they do it.
