The dough is usually cheap; cheese and meat toppings make up most of the cost. Set "Number of pizzas made" to see the cost per pizza, and portions for cost per slice or person.

Frequently asked questions
Is homemade pizza cheaper than takeaway?
Often, but not always — it depends on toppings and what the takeaway costs. Compare both with the homemade vs takeaway calculator.
How do I calculate baking costs?
Cost each ingredient by the amount used, add any packaging or decoration, then divide by the number of cakes or portions. Try the baking cost calculator.
Does the calculator account for the amount of an ingredient actually used?
Yes. Choose 'Pack price' and enter the pack size, pack price and amount used — the calculator only charges for what goes into the recipe.
Can I use different currencies?
Yes. Choose GBP, USD, EUR, CAD or AUD from the currency menu. This only changes the symbol — we don't convert prices, as you enter your own.
