I decided last week to indulge in some food inflation so went to Arturo’s Pizza on Houston Street and ordered a $160 large pizza.

I’m a believer in pizza diversification. I can’t ever decide on a topping. Do I want onions and bacon? Or green peppers and pepperoni? Or lobster and broccoli? There are too many permutations and if you make the wrong decision (like in a portfolio), there’s no turning back and serious loss is the only possible outcome. So I ordered all 34 toppings on the menu.
