Is The Pizza Cupcake BETTER Than Pizza? | Shark Tank US | Shark Tank Global
/ @sharktankglobal
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.
She knows a good product when she see it. That's why she have the most successful business in shark tank ever
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.
The entrepreneur knew she had a good product.
I wonder what Lori would have done if the entrepreneur had said "Thank you for the offer" and turned to leave.....
If its something you know you can make money on and you're an investor, there's no room for ego.
@@TruthTellerTV the commenter is just imagining egos
When she started spitting facts at Lori, I audibly screamed. Greatest moment in the show.
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.
I'm still searching for that part, all I heard was someone flailing and desperately spewing out useless verbiage. If you have a timestamp, I'd love it.
Meanwhile Lori just rambled on and on with no real argument? I don’t think she’s really articulate
Screamed for what. Youre stupid
Yes!!! I immediately hit the like button when she did this! ✔️
“For Kevin to just be silent, and just be eating - is amazing”. Hahaha
Meanwhile Kevin: 👌🏻🤤👍🏻
Im impressed by her. Good deal, good point, good negotiation handling
Shes def the husband in the relationship
@@blixx87you're implying that a wife can't be like this. Your thinking is problematic.
That husband is so screwed and he doesn’t even know it. What a lucky guy.
@@RUclipsRanch lol
She was annoying
Kevin has PTSD from the cost of shipping with the cupcakes, he was out immediately
Right!?! Usually, Kevin is the last to go lol.
Not from shipping from FTX.
😂😂😂
😂
He made good money from that company tho they sold the company to Hickory farms
That's dancing pizza is so cute. He just kept going at it.
How do you know it was a "he"? Did you see a pepperoni down there? ;)
I agree
I found him nauseating.
Right 😭😭😭
@IonRubyyeah. Especially in business law language
He’s the introvert and she’s the extrovert. Together they are unstoppable
He knows and creates the product. She handles the business/marketing aspect with negotiations.
@@zkart8038 thanks for breaking down my comment
no he just doesnt know english that well
@@Phantomeeee i find his english is well spoken. might take a look in the mirror before judging others.
@@thongvo7754Okay, buddy, apparently an immigrant is better spoken than a US citizen.
I know buddy was SWEATIN under that cupcake during the negotiations.
Edit: it's been a year and I absolutely do no regret this comment
I was looking for this comment 😂
@@nil-xo4ce hater
Who told you, Kriptiko?
funniest comment ever
Oh I think they can pay the A/c bill
She is a great negotiator and marketing the product. Robert was cracking me up this one
These two are the real deal. Great product, good foundation of sales and marketing, excellent knowledge and GREAT salesmanship
I've never seen it
The guy got triggered when Daymond said it is tasty because it got lot of butter. True Italian right there 🤣
Lol dude didn't want to be confused with being french
Lol❤😂 yes he 😂 was
He wasnt triggered at all 🙄
So annoying how many try to see something that's not even happening
@forestrainfallsi’m confused cause he said it’s part brioche and brioche has butter
Isa olive oil my friend
"We've been married for 2 years and this is our FIRST baby!"
I think she's giving a SUBTLE HINT!!"
😄😄😄
he's gonna put a bun in the oven real soon
@@Vendrix86 why do weirdos like you say creepy stuff like this for no reason
@@waccness449 I made a joke out of a well known saying for pregnancy. What is your mental malfunction? Go back to playing candyland and your saturday morning cartoons. Or go get triggered somewhere else, peanut.
@@waccness449whatisthatevenmean
@@waccness449 dude, chill. He made a joke.
Wow. I was worried Lori was gonna back out once those words of final counter came out. But she was flexible. That was cool and fair of her. Good back & forth from both parts.
Because she got exactly what she wanted
Lori made 800k or so on this deal, atleast. She knew what this product was worth
Real MVP here is the person in the suit. Didn't necessarily have to be groovin' the whole time, but just kept at it. XD
Dude just had his playlist on.
Lol
these pitches last about an HOUR dude was committed
They've done pretty good, I've bought some from Walmart and it's really good. They've made over 7 million in sales after appearing on Shark Tank.
So Lori made a good 700k or so. Impressive
@@bldontmatter5319Who's that in your PFP, bruv?
Hey, where's your PFP from, bruv?
@@TheFunnyDictator The Wire
@@realpoetics What's The Wire?
I LOVE that cute cupcake was dancing in the background throughout XD
Love how they each knew when to speak and with precision!
3:46 is HILARIOUS! 😆 Robert always out of pocket lol! Went right by the guys head 😅
Or he just wanted to avoid the awkwardness.
@@KarmaticEvolution the girl looks like she understood and avoided it, but the other guy was clueless it seems like. Regardless, still funny the way the show edited it
@@no_fries probably too nervous for the moment. Makes sense.
What did he mean by im sure he did?
@@briannaoppong-antwi9702 I'm sure he "wanted to teach you how to make pizza", *wink* *wink* 😉
“….No! There is no butter.” ☝🏽😏
But it’s a mix of brioche which has butter
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
Great analysis
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 love the method you broke this down. Kudos.
Excellent review from a pizza connoisseur. Consider posting reviews on pizza. Shoutout to all my pizza lovers.
My guy really said they’re low calories because they’re small like were blind lol
When Mark started reading the box while he was eating you know that it was good 🤣🤣🤣
Seen this one like 6 times…looks like lunch is gonna suck today
Buy the seasons
@Social Delana I don't think you got the joke. Thanks for the recipe, though :)
Just buy hulu all episodes and all seasons are there
Pizza rolls are better 👍
The pizza person on stage called in sick, so Barbara had to fill in. She was prohibited from saying "I'm out" until she got out of the costume.....
Bro I lost it when I read this 😂
STOPPPP
LMAO this is easily the best Barbara joke I've seen in the many comment sections of Shark Tank videos.
These comments freaking KILL me
12:35 wait Shark Tank youtube channel only uploads at 1080p? For that reason I’m out.
Exactly 😂, I’m expecting 4K
When I was little my mom used to make me "pizza muffins" -- basically pizza elements on an English muffin. These remind me of those. I'd buy a box just for nostalgia purposes.
Ha Shane.... My Mom made those too! English Muffin - Spaghetti Sauce and a Slice of cheese in the toaster oven !!!
I grew up on those! English muffin pizzas! My mom used to let us kids build them ourselves...
English muffin pizzas have been a staple at my family's WrestleMania parties for almost 40 years.
@@skinnybuddha74 Pizza muffins and WrestleMania. You are speaking my language.
Why not just make what your mom made and save the money 😂
Bantam Bagels
Lori invested $275k for 25% equity in the company. Lori helped the company to move into hundreds of Starbucks in the United States. A Major Food manufacturer has acquired Bantam Bagels for $34 Million. Lori has made over $9 Million in profits from this deal.
Interesting
@@MrE_ he's trolling you bro... Bantam Bagels went out of business
All that is true and Bantam Bagels was a victim of Covid...
Lori...is... incredible...my respect for her has skyrocketed after watching this video...any other shark wouldn't take so many counters and be so understanding❤❤❤
One of my favorite Lori moments ever (negotiation & holding her ground). So so 🤩😍
Are you kidding me! In Italy they are called pizzette and they have been around for at least 40 years that I can remember
Keyword ITALY LOL in the 🇺🇸 Nada!
Damn 😂
They're selling ice to Alaskans, good for them
EXACTLY!
@@TheHitman0024 they have them at lil ceasars so 🇺🇸 does and has been having them 😂
I've ordered these twice. Decent taste with minimal topping and overpriced.
yes so overpriced you had to order a second time just to make sure!
@FreeBrockolee drrr if you say something is overpriced, then you're not allowed to buy it again, says FreeBrockolee drrrrr
That’s why they’re out of business
@@iwishiwasthomasshelby they are still selling a lot online
@@iwishiwasthomasshelby False keep hating
Lori: My bottom line is 15%.
Lady: Would you do 12.5%?
Lori: Bruh
I like the concept, but I don’t like the price of a pizza cup, even though I’m hungry now.
$3 can get you a full slice
Yup, 3 dollars at the pizza place I work at will get u a slice the size of 2.5 cupcakes at least. They’re just too expensive here.
try to taste it
@@harthsigelinde4299 I’ll try it, where can I find it?
1.5 Years Later…
so these guys intended Crazy Puffs before Little Caesars
Thats exactly what I was thinking!
They're called pizzetes nothing was invented just copied lol
I LOVED her negotiation! The sharks were shocked!
Little caesers out here stealing ideas 😂
And probably did it better and cheaper.
@@AlexNishi-hb2neLittle Cesears is bottom barrel. But yeah, sure…
@@therealmistahjay what do you expect for the price.
Little Caesars sucks
When Michelle made that final counteroffer and Lori immediately started smiling, I knew the deal was sealed.
the guy in the pizza suit, dying of sweat, watching his business partner make 4 counter offers:
I honestly love the pizza cupcake mascot
Why not just call it a pizza cup? That's not a cupcake, there's not cake 😂
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.
I remember this one biz offered cheesy sticks with spicy dip....people loved it.
yea I normally just add some garlic to the sauce by opening it up after im done heating it up, just issue for me is cost but the only reason I've bought them was because Walmart had them on sale
Agree. They are ok. Unfortunately very overpriced for what they are.
That’s what happens when you grow too fast the quality goes down
frozen almost never beats freshly made, its pretty good for a frozen food
they really let the pizza cupcake stay hunched the whole pitch xD
She keeps throwing Starbucks name out there and all the locations but pizza and coffee does not sound like the best combination
Ahhh I take it you haven’t been to Starbucks since they first opened. I’ll fill you in on what you have missed. They since opening serve more then just coffee and pastries.
@@pt18777 True. But pizza cupcakes and a refresher isn’t exactly what I have in mind when I go to Starbucks😅❤️
I worked at sbux for several years. People often came in to buy anything but coffee.
@@pt18777 I thought you were going to fill him in on what he missed? You filled him in on nothing. All you told him is that they sell more than he remembers.
@@naiadolling I think it's a good combo
She's a great businesswoman. Had her details in order. Negotiated very well.
Did anyone catch the lie? He said the sauce was a marina he made this morning. Then later when Robert was talking about how good and fresh it tasted, he said it was a frozen product
She's so smart...You can just tell she's gonna be a successful entrepreneur
Found them at Walmart recently, they were pretty good!
Oooo I need to try em
Yeah they are good. Wish they had made whole pizzas like that. Too expensive for that little amount.
what's her onlyfans
The sharks all said this was good so I thought I'd try it despite the ridiculous costs. I bought the large pack of peperoni. When received some didn't even have a peperoni on them. Most if not all had no marinara sauce at all. It's just dough and white cheese. It tastes Ok, but i'd never order again.
Sounds like you got the duds.
They definitely made these ones for the episode
Love seeing Lori in action!!!
Oh you were thinking bout the show.
Insane confidence from the girl
Guys, this episode appeared on the Shark Tank channel for the first time. It appeared on the Sony channel before. Cut them some slack.
Pitchers: "We are asking for $5 for 99% of our company"
Nobody:
Robert: "Wooooow"
I wanted so badly for them to succeed. Good for them.
This product would of been perfect if it had a stable location like dominoes...id be passing through every day
Dominos could just make their own if they wanted, any pizza guy will tell you we can make dough do pretty much whatever we want, I could fill my display case with pizza cupcakes any day of the week. We sell these things called pin wheels instead, similar item just better imo. These are frozen food gimmick is all. Your neighborhood pizza guy could whip this up for u if asked trust me.
Lori is so classy
Might be one of the best Shark Tank presentations I’ve seen. Michelle is so incredibly smart. Also, Lori is quickly becoming my favorite shark.
“Wow you guys are the real deal, I’m out” -Robert 🤔
You have to give it to them they knew their path to success and numbers
Their presentation and packaging is totally on point. It's like a delicious little box of Popeye's but for pizza cakes.
3:10 Founders: *narrating touching backstory*
Daymond: D E V O U R
The very First Shark Tank video I ever watched😂
I wish I could work with Lori, I love how humble and kind she is ❤❤❤
They got a great deal from lory. I think 15% it's fair.
The hubby is cute. I can picture him in a white & black stripes shirt rowing a gondola along the canals in Venice, LOL.
Lmao at the dancing pizza knocking everything over.
Barbara:
I don't like the mascot, I'm out
a woman who can stand her ground goes a long way. especially with the ability to be witty & quick on her feet like that. i hope they do well together!
The way that mascot was moving like a game character in the lobby.
I'm surprised they are in Walmart already but at $7 for 6 I probably won't be buying again even though they are amazing. My only critique is the lack of pepperonini on that version. Only one to two slices each on the the box I bought..
$7 for 6 does not seem expensive to me. Pretty much every meal these days runs at least $10 even fast food
Lori didn’t bother hugging them after the deal.
can someone explain to me the difference between equity and advisory shares in dumbed down terms? lol
I bet Loreen apreciates the argumented pushback from a kind young entrepreneur. Shows business skillz. Good for them
DAMN! That might be the best negotiation I’ve ever seen on this show.
MOMMA MIA! Robert's always shouting something funny lol
annoying*
Idiotic*
Make sure my Pizza is in the house by the weekend - Damien 😂😂
thats not even his name
Wow!! She is extremely well spoken
Audio change ka option nhi aa rha bhai ??
They came for Lori. She handled that amazing
OMG WE NEED THIS IN AUSTRALIA ASAP PLEASE!!!!!!!
Mate we have pizza pockets… go check woolies or coles
I just saw this on YT and was thinking the same thing. Yum 🤤
“You guys are the real deal… I’m out”
They got to get the best deal possible because you know they are paying that cupcake a high rate
This is why VC suck. They suck the quality out of the product to make it cheaper. Which in turns means the products life in the market is shorten
Anything that needs to scale needs to make sacrifices somewhere be in food, clothing, etc remember that.
@@Eminence_1337 yes they just have to remember that after a while the product isn’t the same anymore and people stop buying
idgaf about the deal i just want the pizza cupcake costume thingy. its adorable
3:12 what??? that seems like me, some one born and raised in the US, saying i moved to mexico to learn italian
crazy because lil cesar’s got this right now 😂😂
First three sharks are out and they probably knew it straightaway but still they gobbled up the sample pizzas.
I tried these a few months back and they were soooooo good!! The cheese they use is so tasty!
This deal never got closed, right?
Looks like after this show the pizza costume guy was fired
She is one sharp entrepreneur. Sharp vs. shark!
They are now in over 7000 stores!!! Including all that Lori listed
This is how u come to Shark Tank!
I like how she Read Lori
And gave her a good amount of pushback
That girl had the facts and had jumped a good amount of hurdles already.
Decent Deal . But their product is what's pushing it all forward, if it's that tasty
Boy that was some negotiating, awesome Job.
Bro Pizza Guy was the real MVP, look at him gooooo
PLEASE post the "After the Tank" series. Anyone would like to know these product updates.
11:02 damn Michelle can negotiate
Mr. Cupcake must've been dying in that costume.
I liked the pizza cupcake character❤
Can someone explain what does 2.5% advisory share mean?
It means shares that aren't pure equity something a person has to earn by doing certain things for a business.
Was so excited to try these when I saw them in my Walmart and my heart shattered when I realized I was allergic to the ingredients they use
