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?

We have only a couple choices we’re we live. We have nothing local. We order Dominos because they have a coupon that can feed the family for like 20 bucks. Plus get 10 points every time I order and after 60 I get a free pizza. So every now and then I cash them in and get myself a free pizza which funny enough also gives points

Well certainly not Papa John’s because their pizza is awful.

We get local coal fired when feeling spendy, Pizza Hut is best value per calorie (so calorie dense) and reheats the best for sure, so much grease it crisps right up in a hot oven, love that. Whole Foods pizza is legit too, often we get that if shopping at suppertime.

There is also Little Caesars by us, that is cheap and not too bad .

I sometimes make pizza too, sourdough crust, yum, but oven only goes to 550f (288C) so not as good as cooking them.

Wait, you think Papa John’s pizza is awful but you think Little Caesars is “not bad”? At this point I’m convinced that there’s something like cilantro in Papa John’s pizza that makes like half the population think it tastes like soap or something. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying it’s great or anything, but Little Ceasars is definitely one of the worst chain pizzas around.

RBWells ,

The crust on Papa John’s is the awful part, that and the sauce both taste like they have a full cup of sugar in them. I don’t want sweet pizza.

Little Caesars is tolerable reheated - I don’t actually eat it fresh, it’s something my husband gets for him & the kids if I am fasting. And so cheap, my expectations are lower.

Local place is the best here. I’m not sure why a chain would try in NJ with our amazing totally better than NYC pizza.

Sometimes I get coupons for domino’s so I’ll get them, but honestly the local place is the best. The very best local place closed during covid, so the other local place is one now (there are three other local places for pizza, but they pretty blah). I miss your, pizza place that was probably a front, you had the best Greek pizza ever.

If you’ve got an ALDIs nearby, they’ve got a $5 cheese take n bake. Pro move is to get one of those and then cut your own toppings, bake, it’ll be better than any chain.

I’m sure there’s other good take n bakes, but $5 for a quality one is probably hard to match

borari ,

What’s an ALDIs?

terminhell ,

Little Caesars.

Domino’s

Make it at home.

In order of the amount of time I have. Obviously I prefer making my own from scratch.

A Papa Johns just opened up across the street from me. I’ve never personally been to one. Are they any good?

It was started by someone who used to work for Dominos and is very similar.

bionicjoey ,

Seems okay then. I’m just glad to have a pizza joint so close to me. No more having to pay and await a delivery driver. I can just cross the street.

ShepherdPie ,

Their pizza is far better than Dominos but more expensive. I like their cheesy bread the most out of everything.

Local takeaway 100% of the time. You don’t get chain pizza, your employer does it for you.

ShepherdPie ,

Taste wise I’ll pick a local place 100% of the time but when I’m lazy or had a few drinks, I’ll order Dominos since they’re dirt cheap with their constant specials and coupons and they bring it to me.

It really depends on what I’m in the mood for. I can appreciate both high quality gourmet pizza and Little Caesar’s Hot N Ready garbage. When you want one of those in particular, the other just doesn’t hit the spot. Usually I default to the local place nearby for the more general pizza cravings.

Here’s a Hot Take: Order from the place that hits your sweet spot between quality and price!

Chain stores are usually franchised so a lot of the money is still local.

Also branch out! I’ve discovered that a local Bar & Grill a few blocks away makes a freaking amazing pizza for about half the price of everyone else on town. It’s INSANE how good and cheap this pizza is!

Local every time, chains are shit and expensive, and you get more choice of shop here in the UK anyway

PurplebeanZ ,

I suppose it’s still a chain but Tops pizza always hits.

tissek ,

Firm supporter of local stores and businesses. It also does help that I have a few good places in walking distance and a healthy city centre. So if I want and weather permitting I can sit on their patio and wave to acquaintances.

Local whenever possible. I’d rather heat up a frozen pizza than order from a chain.

Where I live, we have a chain called Cottage Inn, that started on city over. They’re my choice pretty much every time. They’re open late for delivery, and make better pizza than the big chains 100% of the time, plus, since the mega-corps have increased their prices so much over the last couple years, Cottage Inn is basically the same price as well

EvilBit ,

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.

HubertManne ,

I live in the chicago area so local all the way. I usually have a pizza in the freezer if I want something chain quality.

bruhbeans ,

This. You can get chain pizza here, but why. I can throw a rock and hit better pizza than PapaJiminosHut. Hell, there’s local frozen pizza vendors here better than any of em (Doreen’s!)
