Oh heavens, Margaret! I have no idea the cost of an individual slice of
pizza. (I'm sure *someone* will slam me for this reply). I can tell you,
the price seems exhorbitant to me, but then, things are much less costly
down here in Tennessee than they are in Manhattan. I would however, expect
to pay at least a dollar for a slice of pizza at a pizzaria simply because
they are mostly (down here) hoping to sell the entire pizza pie, not single
slices.

I hope at least it tasted good
