Questions about Quesadilla prices
Where is the cheapest quesadilla in Iowa City? Sam's Pizza, at $6.99 on 441 S Gilbert St. The same dish reaches $16.00 elsewhere in town, so where you order it changes the bill by $9.01.
What should quesadilla cost here? About $14.75 is the typical price across the 3 kitchens in Iowa City that list it. Of the ones listed above, 1 is more than a dollar below that and 1 is more than a dollar above, so the typical price is a middle rather than a floor.
Is it cheaper nearby? The nearest area we track it in is Des Moines, about 108 mi away, where the best price is $7.99. That is $1.00 more than the best price here.
Why do the prices differ so much? We compare what each menu calls the same dish, and menus are not identical: portion, cut, sides and the kind of room you are sitting in all ride on the price, and none of that shows up in a number. Part portions and half sizes are kept out of this comparison, and a chain charging the same at several addresses is counted once, so the spread above is between genuinely different kitchens rather than the same one repeated.
