Pizzaforcoins isn't selling pizza; they're selling a service. The surcharge is for their service, not so they can profit off someone's want to use BTC.
Would a 3% discount be enough for you to buy with Bitcoins instead of PayPal or a credit card?
I'm interested because I'm considering adding Bitcoin buttons to an info products website. If I go to the expense of doing that, I want people to use them.
PizzaForCoins.com adds a BTC 0.03 surcharge (currently USD 5.45) to all orders. If BTC holders are willing to pay this kind of premium to use their Bitcoin, why shouldn't I do something similar?

I don't have a paypal account.
I have bitcoins. Right now that $7 book would be about 36 mB, which I have available in my spending wallet. I believe we are nearing the top of the bitcoin bubble, so I have no problem buying something with bitcoins right now.

Credit card unless BTC offers discount.
Credit card offers protection and often rewards (miles etc.) that come at a cost to the merchant (and a tidy profit for card issuer). Merchants should at the very least split the difference and offer a 3% discount for purchases with BTC. Then everybody wins (except Visa etc.)

I think a lot of potential Bitcoin merchants would be interested in our honest answer.
