I've always found that Papa John's has the most boring flavor of any national pizza chain.

It's not bad, but it's not good either. Since it's priced more than premium pan pizza from Pizza Hut and Domino's, I'm not giving my money to PJ's.

Since Pizza Hut lowered prices, Domino's revamped their pizza, and Little Caesar's (normally junk) introduced a cheap pan pizza, PJ's doesn't even get a consideration.

I like Papa Johns as well, I also really like that I can routinely get 50% off.

They are my least favorite of the major chains. I'd rather eat Pizza Hut than Papa Johns.

Oh and waiting for someone to say a one off chain is automatically better.

Why would you eat pizza anywhere other than Bronx Pizza in San Diego?

I mean: Why would ANYONE eat pizza ANYWHERE else?

When I was in South Korea we would go to a place called Pizza School. Korea had Papa Johns and Pizza Hut, but they were expensive and too far.

Nothing like corn and potato on your pizza. .

Papa John's cheese and dough is packed with cellulose. It helps to dramatically cut costs, wood pulp being an inexpensive substitute for more costly cheese and flour. Although many food manufactures will state that cellulose actually is employed to add texture and prevent clumping etc. lol?

You'll get a higher quality pie at your local pizzeria.

No you won't automatically get better quality pie at your local pizzeria. It always makes me laugh when someone says that any mom & pop food place is automatically going to have better food than any chain. There are so many shitty local food joints which is why so many go under.

Weird, I'm the other way around. Out of PJs/Dominos/Pizza Hut, I'd say PJs is by far the best, Dominos is a decent second, and Pizza Hut is just bad outside of their stuffed crust pizza.

PJs used to be my favorite chain. Dunno what they're doing anymore; I haven't been in a long time. I like Little Caesar, and Domino can go to hell. Haven't been to Pizza Hut in a long time either. One local shop makes terrible pizza; maybe even worse than Domino. That's quite an accomplishment...

We have a lot of shit pizza joints here on the boardwalk. I remember watching a worker put his dirty hands in a big vat of cheese. He then put the cheese on the customer's pizza. Nasty!

Out of chain-places I prefer Pizza Hut but PJ's does have really good specials all the time.

And no local places are not automatically better but I'm fortunate to have quite a few nearby here in CT that blow the living daylights out of any chain.

I wouldn't say a local place is automatically better, the fact remains there are plenty of places all over the country that either make a better pizza, or a more unique take on pizza than national chains. I have eaten dominoes and PJ plenty of times and would never turn down free pizza.

The national chains have economies of scale that allow them to underprice most, if not all, local shops for similar pies.

Out of the chains Domino's is my favorite. They have really stepped up their game since I was in college 10 years ago.

Domino's thin crust is amazing, and their thick is way better than papa johns or pizza hut these days. They changed things up a couple years back and it's really good now if you ask me.

Domino's hand made deep dish is the bomb. That is all.

I do like PJ though and wont be caught eating Pizza Hut. I had a sister in-law work there for years so we got a lot of free pizza. Stuff is just bad.

Fun to watch people compare different chains of pizza when in reality, it really depends on each location. For example I like to go to Little Caesars but that's only if I go to a specific location. The other locations in the area aren't as good. I tried a Papa Murphy's pizza once and was like eating cardboard but that could have been a problem with that location.

Even here in NJ where we have more pizza shops than over-tanned guidos, you still have to change it up from time to time. One place will be great for a year or two and then get sloppy, while another place that wasn't that awesome will get a lot better.

All the chains have very bad crust.

Most of the local places also have very bad crust.

I think I just don't care for pizza crust.

I'm also in NJ and my parents have had cafes and coffee shops. My dad told me don't worry about how many restaurants are in your area, just make sure you do it better than the competition.

Their crust tastes like cardboard and their ingredients suck. Don't believe the advertising, their pizza is shit.
