Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, Domino's OR local takeaway

What is your pizza chain of choice?

Pizza Hut - Probably my favorite in terms of franchises since I like their salad bar and where I live I’d say their prices are more reasonable

Domino’s - ehh I’ve only had them twice in my entire life and I think the price is a bit much for what you get, there are some cracking deals though that top Pizza Hut

Papa John’s - So I hear from lads and ladies that this one more “cheaper” than the first two but I really can’t say as we don’t have any Papa John’s in our city except for 1 small one along a small street.

Local Takeaway - Probably a 2nd close favourite since the takeaway I use always deliver fresh pizzas with a decent amount of toppings, not every takeaway shop who do pizzas are gonna be the same A+ quality though…

So my fellow pizza enjoyers, what’s YOUR choice or listing?

If there isn’t a good local joint, I like Marco’s. They tend to be a lot better at cooking and topping. When they’re on their game, their pizzas taste like 80’s pizza commercials looked and it’s amazing.

Little caesers

If you’re gonna get take out pizza, why pay more than Little Seizures prices, since the quality is the same?

I used to actually love Domino’s but then the pizza got a little worse, then a little smaller, then smaller again, then more expensive, then quite a lot more expensive, then the voucher system that was keeping prices under control was trashed and then the pizzas got way smaller again.

This was a blessing in disguise though really. I tended not to explore the local options before this because they were only occasionally good in one’s area if you were lucky and always much pricier. Since Domino’s pricing stopped being cheap it made it worth searching for cheesier pastures and there’s a local joint near me that does NY style and it’s really good. That was really just luck though, honestly there’s a lot of really crappy neighbourhood pizza joints that people assume will be better because they’re not a chain when they’re really no better I’m glad I seemed to have landed next to the cream of the crop.

I prefer a real Brooklyn slice but it can’t be had where I live. IMO Donatos is a fair substitute. They’re in like 30 states.

The big national chains are garbage.

Sam’s club. It’s the same quality as the rest of the corpos but it’s the only one that’s affordable.

Local is always best but they’re not open at 3am. So Domino’s

Local takeout ftw. I haven’t eaten at a pizza chain in years and don’t miss it at all!

Now the real question in New England is Italian-style vs Greek-style pizza

you forgot little caesars, which is the only corporate place in town that makes their own dough in-store.

You’re right I did, I completely forgot about them and it’s down to the fact that I’ve not seen a single LC in my city, I should mention the city isn’t like London or Manchester in terms of size.

Support your local economy and buy local takeaway. When you spend money at a local shop, that money stays local instead of being sent off to some other region where an executive or investor lives. This keeps your local economy healthy by recirculating money within your area. It might cost a bit more, but if it helps your neighbor pay their mortgage or car payment or school tuition, it’s worth it.

Also, talk to your local business owners. They’re your neighbors, and having them is better than a faceless corporation.

It’ll be sent to the owner’s home country instead.

I’d honestly rather my money go indirectly to a family in another country than a corporate executive billionaire. I’m a pretty firm humanist.

All the big corporate pizza places have barely passable pizza. I get that they are cheap and everywhere, but why masturbate if your local joint fucks and fucks back?

Local joint(one location) 98% of the time. I have seriously considered working nights there until I can steal their recipe and can make their pizza at home once I move too far away to order there.

If I get the rare craving for ultra-thin crispy crust, Rosati’s or Beggar’s. There is another local(one location) place that does a double dough 18" by the slice for $5 that I grab if I am in that area and want all the carbs.

Round Table if I am near one and want to freebase some nostalgia. Giordano’s or maybe Lou Malnati’s if I want deep dish.

Local always

Pizza Hut - Domino’s - local takeaway - Papa John’s

The Pizza Hut does fantastic pizza, but doesn’t deliver, and is too far away to get takeaway from.

Domino’s is ok. They do decent pizza, but have been getting more and more stingy with the cheese, and are hideously expensive.

The local takeaways all use the same supplier, and the pizzas are average. They can be amazing from time to time, but that’s the exception.

Papa John’s opened here a few years ago, so we tried it. The pizza was so bad that none of us finished it

Last time I got Papa Johns, a literal child delivered my order alone while her DoorDashing mom watched from her car. I didn’t order through DoorDash. I left feedback informing them that I would not be buying pizza from somewhere that makes me question whether I’m contributing to breaking child labor laws.

I would order local takeout if it were cheaper and wasn’t consistently soggy.

Domino’s is the most consistently “worth the money” pizza near me, with Little Caesars coming in a distant second.

Dominos > Papa Johns > Pizza Hut.

Local takeaway is very hit and miss, it’s always some ghost kitchens pizza and kebab sweatshop with rats running around. That’s London baby.

Over time I found local delivery restaurants. I rarely ever order food from any of the common franchises around here. The local stores are just so much better!
