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 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.

Dw they also want to be executive billionaires and see nothing wrong with this.

Getting pizza from a chain seems to me to be the complete antithesis to what pizza is supposed to be. Unfortunately in Germany it has been my experience that you can either have a good pizza restaurant or a pizza restaurant that delivers. When I asked my favourite place why they don’t offer delivery he answered that he doesn’t have the necessary space and staff to support that. They would get overwhelmed with orders.

Luckily even bad pizza is kinda good.

I was horrified when in Germany and the pizza delivery person came into the house and cut it with a pizza cutter in the open box on the table

Local takeaway. And I’m picky about which ones. More expensive but enjoyable.

I don’t bother paying the cheap chain stores, but if it’s free (ie. at an event or gathering) I’ll eat it. Still not my first choice though

Where I live all these chain shops are more expensive than the local pizza joint.
