The Robinson-Patman Act prohibits price discrimination unless it is cost justified by quantity, the product is of a different grade or quality, or the price reduction is made to meet a competitor's price. In this case, Sareno is offering a lower price to a specific customer, which would violate the Act unless the pizzeria can already get the cheese for a lower price elsewhere or Sareno lowers the price to all its customers. Therefore, any of these options would be necessary to avoid violating the Robinson-Patman Act.
