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?

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.

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

Hot take: home made cast iron pan pizza. It’s the easiest type of pizza to make from scratch.

Here are some common pizza issues that are easy to troubleshoot:

If you are bad at making the dough right the pan supports it.

Bad at cooking it? The pan helps to cook it evenly.

Want my flavor? You can add seasonings to the pan before putting in dough.

Want to mix it up? Chicago style.

Local neighbors smell the pizza and break into your house? Cast iron pan to the noodle.

Too much dough? Two pizzas.

Not enough dough for two pizzas? Deep dish.

Need the dough to rise? Oil the pan preheat the oven for 2 minutes so it’s watm. Turn it off, sit the whole thing in there.

Vampires? Add more garlic.

Not the right sauce? Loose works fine since you can make a bowl out of the dough in a cast iron.

I hope this helps! Saves on a lot of dishes since you only need the pan and maybe a mixing bowl.

Instructions unclear, wanted to serve a pizza for my vampire friends and now they’re dead.

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!

SALAD BAR?!

I bounce back and forth between 2 local places. With a simple food like pizza, the little differences in the ingredients and how they’re prepared come through moreso than in a complicated dish.

The one place has a chewier crust, the other has a breadier crust. One has a sweeter sauce. The place I originally went to when I came here made a more well done crust that I didn’t like, but it’s one of the more popular places in town, so some people definitely prefer it. With local places you’re not stuck with a single flavor or style and you can get what you’re in the mood for that day.

With that said, sometimes Domino’s or Pizza Hut takes me back to childhood memories, which helps out the flavor there. I never had Pappa John’s as a kid, so I didn’t like it much as an adult, but the other 2 remind me of being a kid. They’re probably not arbitrarily better than Pappa John’s, but they get the nostalgia bonus.

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.
