Saint Bonaventure Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 Pizza Hut? Papa John's? Domino's? Papa Murphy's? Little Caesars?
Calm Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 Been almost 20 years, but my memory says this has been my favorite chain so far…but I may have eaten at a better one, just not remembered what one or if it was a chain because it was only one time when visiting Colorado. https://www.panago.com 1
Tacenda Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 Papa Murphy's seems to be the healthiest, has more choices, thin sliced etc.
The Nehor Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 Take “chain” off the end of that and it will lead to better stuff. Or lead to pizza wars and pizza war is the best kind of war.
Pyreaux Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 Papa John's is the best. Domino's is good. Pizza Hut is terrible.

Rain Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 Here in AZ I like Barros or Oreganos. Pizza Hut is too sweet. Little Caesars is better than it used to be. If I want a pizza from a restaurant I want it cooked so Papa Murphys is out. Years ago my parents moved to Salt Lake. My siblings stayed in Memphis. They all liked Papa John's so much that if one came on a plane they would bring a pizza. I laughed the last time when a week later I drove past a Papa John's in Salt Lake. 1
bluebell Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 We have a local pizza chain in my hometown called Pizza on the Run and it will always be my favorite. Whenever I am in town we have to have it, and I take pictures of the box to make all the other people I’m Facebook friends with who grew up there and moved away jealous. 😆 1
Fether Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 I find it has far more to do with local management than the name of the brand. Papa Johns is normally my favorite, but the one in my town has a really funky tasting pepperoni. The pizza hut in my town is also better than most. that being said, Papa Murphy’s Pizza tends to be the most consistently good. Little Caesar’s is also consistent and cheap.
Saint Bonaventure Posted June 16, 2022 Author Posted June 16, 2022 For me, Domino's does a good job of offering what it does best. Its menu doesn't change as much as the others, but its standards--the Philly steak, Buffalo, Extravaganza thingy--are consistently great.
MustardSeed Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 My preference is lately Mod- very thin crust and large assortment of toppings. I like it weird - artichoke, olives, jalapeños and roasted peppers 1

I don't eat many pickled items, I can put down an olive on a pizza, but that is because I can't even taste it. Edited June 16, 2022 by Pyreaux

Well, I'm proud you admitted to liking pineapple on pizza, it seems that it's a controversial thing to do, haha...put fruit on pizza. But I'm with ya, love the Hawaiian and many other varieties.
Calm Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) I love pineapple on pizza, the acid helps cut the overwhelming fat of the cheese since they usually don’t put enough sauce on. And I actually prefer the taste of tomato paste to sauce, it is significantly different. So the sweetness and tartness of pineapple makes up for the usual blahness of the sauce.

bluebell Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 I had a fig, balsamic vinegar. and prosciutto wood-fired pizza (with a white sauce) at a dive bar in the UP of michigan a couple of years ago and I'm still sad that I will probably never get to eat another one again. It was SO good. 3
Pyreaux Posted June 17, 2022 Posted June 17, 2022 1 hour ago, The Nehor said: Oh, that takes me back to my childhood... Not that I ever ate anything like that, but that reminds me that is the only kind of weird pizza combos ordered by the Ninja Turtles that April O'Neal ate. That reminds me of the Super Mario Super Show episode called 9001: A Mario Odyssey, Mario had a pizza machine called the HAL 9001. Mario and Luigi test it out and keep ordering crazy pizzas like a hamburger pizza (with actual hamburgers), and a bologna pizza. That's when HAL starts malfunctioning, and starts popping out things like a dog biscuit pizza instead. After a popcorn pizza is made which sway's Mario, Luigi puts his foot down and opts to pull HAL's plug, but HAL's red eye puts them in a trance and orders Mario and Luigi to eat all of the ridiculous pizzas he made. They get saved by the machine's inventor who comes in and unplugs HAL and apologizes for being made to eat HAL’s horrible pizzas. Mario then questions: "What horrible pizzas?", and starts eating the popcorn pizza.
mrmarklin Posted June 17, 2022 Posted June 17, 2022 Pizzeria Uno is best for Chicago deep dish. Amici’s for NY style pizza.

My husband bought a pizza oven last year and our first time using it failed miserably. But I'm hoping we haven't been scared away for much longer and we need to give it another try and I'm definitely going to try this recipe! Thanks!

This made me laugh because we have a friend who is a huge foodie and he bought a pizza oven this year and it's been one disaster after another. 1
Chum Posted June 20, 2022 Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) I terribly miss Shakey's thin crust pepperoni, double baked. It's unlikely I'll have another. The chain shrunk by 90% and retreated to California, another victim of corporate merger/buyouts. Edited June 20, 2022 by Chum 1

There's really good pizza and there's cheap pizza. However, good pizza for 6 guys is over $100. Little Caesars is the cheapest of the cheap. edit: I occasionally do Hungry Howie's for me because they do gluten free crust and anchovies. Edited June 20, 2022 by Chum
