[@zakariaelyabouri1908]

I love how Lori was so patient and understanding, a different shark would’ve gotten immediately egoistic and said they’re out once the lady wanted to give that final counter.

[@dieptrieu6564]

She knows a good product when she see it. That's why she have the most successful business in shark tank ever

[@Paige02]

Maybe less egoistic and more tired. Its a 60 minute presentation, Nickle and diming over 2.5% and 25k over and over again will become annoying. In the end, Lori makes the most successful deals and clearly holds value, imo who wouldnt be annoyed.

[@scotthewitt258]

The entrepreneur knew she had a good product. I wonder what Lori would have done if the entrepreneur had said "Thank you for the offer" and turned to leave.....

[@sosleepy512]

because she wants the product. it's literally similar to her bagel company and even uses the same distributor. it would be easy to merge them

[@TruthTellerTV]

If its something you know you can make money on and you're an investor, there's no room for ego.

Lori didn’t do the $150k for 15% because she wanted the power and didn’t want to come off the $125k for 15% just because she didn’t want to come off her high horse. She couldn’t do the extra $25k? lol.

Bought a pack after I saw these on Shark Tank. They're tasty since they're similar to pizza, but actual pizza tastes better. They're "low calorie" because they're small, not because they're healthy in any way, since they actually have have more calories by weight than regular pizza, including more fat calories. And it costs 2-4 times more per ounce than frozen pizza, or other pizza snacks. They'd need to cut the price at least in half for me to even consider buying again, and even then, I'd probably just buy a frozen pizza instead. Then again, I like what's on a pizza more than the dough, so maybe those who favor the dough will have a different opinion. Compare: Pizza Cupcake: $1.01/oz Whole Foods Pepperoni Pizza: $0.38/oz Pizza with organic ingredients: $0.81/oz Tombstone/Red Baron/DiGiorno: $0.24 - $0.33/oz

[@charliealden9355]

Great analysis

[@getgot7461]

That is good analysis. In my life, I've learned that there are pizza people who care more about the dough, and those who care more about the toppings -- these are the people who could leave the crust uneaten. I'm a toppings man, myself. But your comment and the Sharks' reactions (gushing over the dough's texture) tells me this is a product for the fans of dough.

[@jaimhaas5170]

I love the method you broke this down. Kudos.

I tried these. They were good but not better than pizza you buy from a pizza parlor. They were better than frozen pizza though. However, the sauce needs more seasoning. It was kind of bland. The breading is whats good about these but doesnt give you Pizza vibes. More of a cheesy bun dipped in a sauce vibe.

[@jaimhaas5170]

I remember this one biz offered cheesy sticks with spicy dip....people loved it.

[@hawaiianwater1913]

yea I normally just add some garlic to the sauce by opening it up after im done heating it up, just issue for me is cost but the only reason I've bought them was because Walmart had them on sale

Dominos could just make their own if they wanted, any pizza guy will tell you we can make dough do pretty much whatever we want, I could fill my display case with pizza cupcakes any day of the week. We sell these things called pin wheels instead, similar item just better imo. These are frozen food gimmick is all. Your neighborhood pizza guy could whip this up for u if asked trust me.

The sharks all said this was good so I thought I'd try it despite the ridiculous costs. I bought the large pack of peperoni. When received some didn't even have a peperoni on them.
