Is The Pizza Cupcake BETTER Than Pizza? | Shark Tank US | Shark Tank Global

[@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.

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.

[@Lunar_Atronach]

these pitches last about an HOUR dude was committed

[@Moonspec]

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.

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.
