After three and some odd years of living in the DR, I was wondering if I was ever going to find good pizza here in Santiago, much less economical. True, the Pizzarelli in Las Colinas mall is ok, at RD600 it's more expensive that it should be and not really worth it.
Finally I found some frozen pizza crusts in El Nacional that I decided to try. They give you three in a package and the size works out to almost a 16" pizza for just RD60. Best thing is it it very good too - thin and crispy. Here is the cost breakdown.
Pizza crusts RD60
1 lb mozzarella cheese RD130
Spaghetti sauce(Food Club, even better than Hunts) RD12
1/2 lb tomato RD12
1/3 lb ham RD40
corn RD14
total RD268
Also, we put a whole lot more ingredients that the restaurants do here, especially the cheese. The cheese is of a much better quality too as Dominican mix the cheaper Dutch style cheese with the mozarella. Buen provecho.
