Because of this there are certain deli foods that you can buy with an EBT card. Lunch meat and cheese would be good examples. These sleazy gas stations just ring the pizza up as a "deli" item which allows people to use their EBT card to pay for it. Of course it is illegal, but the odds of getting caught are pretty low.

Hmm, okay, but what is the benefit?
Lets say I have $7 in my EBT. I would better buy real food for $7, sell it to someone for $5 and buy the same slice for $3 at a normal price + have $2 left.
What I mean that margin is too high compared so simple scam when you cash out by selling your ebt money for real money.
