The eponymous two brothers of 2 Bros, New York City’s most ubiquitous and reliable dollar pizza chain, were slapped with a class-action suit earlier this week that alleges that they “built their dollar pizza empire on the backs of my clients and other workers by grossly underpaying them,” according to attorney Adam Slater.

Because pizza is very important, journalists at NPR have crunched the numbers and released this morning’s indispensable infographics averaging the price of a pie across 237 mostly urban U.S. neighborhoods, including NYC.
