In May 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz famously made one of the first Bitcoin purchases when he [got a Papa John’s pizza for 10,000 BTC]( (apparently it was two pizzas, but let’s stick to the legend).
Currently, [with a coupon on “Consumer Queen,”]( you can get a small 1-topping Papa John’s Pizza for $4.
This means that, if you had a LOT of those coupons and 1 BTC, at today’s rounded price of $47,000 per coin, you could purchase well over 10,000 Papa John’s pizzas. 11,750 to be exact.
I was going to wait until Bitcoin crossed $80,000 since the pizza’s I normally buy are $7.99, but obviously the moonshot hasn’t come yet and I got impatient, haha.
Somewhere in the corner Laszlo Hanyecz is eating Pizza and reading this thread.
But without his ultimate sacrifice BTC would have not made it this far. Bow down to the legend.

THE FLIPPENING
The BTC Pizza Guy spent 10,000 BTC on two pizzas. If he would just HODL the man would have 100 million pizzas.
I love that statistic! Shows how far we have come! Soon one Bitcoin can buy 10,000 pizza shops!!!
Eh the coupon is kinda stretching it. But it’s amazing to see the progress we’ve made.
Wow your pizza is fuckig cheap !
Technically one btc could buy one pizza aswell.
I know one of you works at a pizza shop. How many moons would you charge for a large supreme?
Oh, how the pizza peel has turned.
This is what I browse this sub for
Bullish
BTC-Pizza has been in a bull market since 2010 but I think we’ve nearly hit a peak and Pizza will inevitably start to pump again. I’m still holding the Pizza I bought 10 years ago hoping to recoup some of my losses.
$4 papa John pizza is even cheaper than little Caesars. I need the coupon.
Mildly interesting. Imagine a way to duplicate this transaction receipt into a digital collectable as an NFT, lots of crypto natives will be vying to buy it. I’m bullish on collectables, and I’ll be adding some from the BBGM collections. They have a wide range of utility, and they can be staked. Amazing!
500 BTC could pay 5M pizzas. One of each r/cryptocurrency Redditor or pay for 1M grams of Bolivian.
Call all the pepperonis
LoL I can buy less than 1 with my pitiful holdings.
Cant believe I didnt see any pizza gate comments yet lol
In the UK Dominos pizzas are like £21 for a large 🙃 people dont pay that (you use 50% off vouchers) but still a lot less than 10k.
Its time to sell my BTC and get some tasty pizzas. Time to get fat.
Crypto and pizza what is this? Friday?
How to be famous in the crypto community = buy 10’000 pizzas with a BTC .
Boom you’re the next Laszlo Hanyecz and both can live on as not so rich legends lol…
2010
1 Pizza = 1 Pizza
2022
1 Pizza = 10.000 Pizza
Much wow, much inflation, Pizza mining still worth it?
Wowwwwwwwwww
… slices, in NYC
Bearish on pizza
My 1000sats are jumping in excitement reading this
I’m not buying any pizza with BTC. I’ll buy a tasty pie with some dirty old fiat though. I wanna keep my crypto for awhile here, especially papa BTC.
That’ll soon be 7,000 pizzas due to inflation.
Where do you get sub $5 pizza from?
Then tomorrow it will be back down to 7000 pizzas
Next day will be 13,000 pizzas and so on and so forth
This stat has always felt weird to me, even though it’s factually true. But for some reason, I consider 1 Bitcoin to garner way more than only 10k pizzas in my mind
I came here to say you must live in a future where BTC is worth a lot more than $47k, since your average large pizza runs a fair bit more than $4.7. Then I saw how you trolled me with a personal pizza count!
I think that for a pizza buyer, this case is far from anecdotal.
The true flippening
Back then it wasn’t a great deal as far as I can tell. Bitcoin looked to be worth about ten cents. Those pizzas were 50 dollars each. But selling wasn’t so easy then, so getting the food with minimal hassle was probably worth it.
Bitcoin finally made it to Soviet Russia
The Scicillian Pizzaning
Bullish on Pizza. What’s the best exchange aping into pizza? And do you recommend hot or cold storage for hodling pizza?
The question you should ask is how many pizzas were bought with Bitcoin….
The tables have turned.
Leave that guy alone man.
The real flippening.
Well well well, how the turn tables
Now that’s a slice of history
