you didn't account for the 11 dollar salad.
the tax is only $4.43 , and the delivery fee, 3 bucks.
labor is cheap here, as are tips.

even without the salad it's $30 + 10.25% tax + $3 delivery fee + $9 tip. Doc, yung tip pa lang, that's the cost of 2 angel's pizza. I used my card the whole time I was in the US and the conversion was around P53 to a dollar. I stand my ground na exponentially mas mahal kumain sa labas sa US than the Philippines.

when extra labor is involved, prices are high.

go to the pizza place and pick your purchase up, and avoid the tip and delivery fee.
the price will then come closer to local counterparts'.

Sobrang layo sa local prices. OMG.

May tip pa rin kahit pick up, it's not compulsory pero nakakahiya kasi when you insert your card may options sa Tip. Grabe na tipping sa US Still kahit 0 tip mas mahal pa rin Pizza sa US na $35 (that's P1800) Like I said I order Angel's regularly and 2 pizzas cost me P500. You could buy Shakey's, Pizza Hut, Angel's, Domino's, S&R or even Gino's, A mano, Cibo and Motorino's for much less. My point is it's more expensive in the US to order out or dine in compared to the Philippines

Wala kasi minimum wage sa US so the service industry makes up for it in gratuities.

My parents are retired US citizens and much prefer to stay here in the Philippines since the standard of living is cheaper.

That's another peculiarity found in the US. Kelangan pa magcompute ng sales tax pag bibili ka. When you eat out tax + tip. Why not include that in the sticker like how most of the world does it?

US na lang ganyan sa buong mundo na they have to rely on tips

That's ideal for me, have the blue passport then stay here in PH.
