Order a pizza in America, can’t believe the price when the bill arrives. The incredible misadventure happened to one of our compatriots, a boy who has lived in America for years and who, perhaps, homesick, thought it best to go out to eat a pizza one evening. When the bill arrived, however, the nostalgia definitely gave way to something else.
A truly unfortunate evening for the Italian resident in the United States. Homesick and craving pizza, maybe even hungry after the day, he goes to a pizzeria in New York. What closed his stomach, however, was not the pizza and the dinner consumed by the young man but, rather, the arrival of the bill and the receipt shown to him at the end of the evening.
He orders a pizza… then the bill arrives
Ordering a pizza outside Italy, it is well known, can reserve unpleasant surprises. Nothing to criticize the work of others but, at least when it comes to pizza, we Italians are fussy and, above all, demanding. It is also true that we are aware that it is unlikely that elsewhere they know how to make pizza like we do. Nonetheless, being abroad, the desire for pizza and breathing home air assails us often and willingly.
In those circumstances we know that we are not ordering food for its authenticity and flavor but, rather, for other reasons. Decide to go to eat a pizza in New York it is certainly not done for a gourmet lunch or dinner but, rather, to breathe airs of home, to be lulled by nostalgia and memories of our magnificent land. In short, we take it into account that it is not an Italian pizza, but that is certainly not the case that the bill itself reserves an unpleasant surprise for us.
Piero Armentia young Italian who lives in New York, an influencer, posts a video on TikTok just talking about this misadventure of his. Armenti is no stranger to this kind of thing, more often than not with his videos he shows us the differences between living in America rather than in Italy. One of her latest viral videos showed how much a barber makes in New York.
The vural video on social media sparks anger in the comments
On the prices of live in the Big AppleIn short, for those who follow Armenti’s videos, they are used to it and have an idea. But after seeing the salami and pepperoni pizza ordered and received by the young man and, above all, after hearing the total price, his followers were shocked.
In ItalyAfter all, we are often used to taking things for granted. For us, pizza is something sacred and cannot go wrong. Depending on the pizza and the place, this is usually a cheap and complete dinner anyway. However, how much does Armenti spend? for that square covered in salami and peppers shocks his followers that are unleashed in the comments. Eight dollars and 98 cents for a pizza that we will not have eaten in Italy and, above all, we will not have paid more than a few euros as some comments specify.
