Papa Johns vs Dominos vs Little Caesars vs Pizza Hut

[eits]

let's be honest... the only people who like chicago style/deep dish pizzas are pretty gross-looking people. am i right? honestly, you look at them and think "ugh... thank god i don't eat deep dish...", right?

i've NEVER met an attractive person who eats deep dish pizza. i've never seen it. they're either fat or they have disgusting acne issues.

i wonder why that is... hmmmm...

Of the 4 options given:

1. Pizza Hut- it's not great pizza, it's not even really good pizza, it's got about 100,000 milligrams of sodium per slice, but it's kind of the winner by default.
2. Little Caesar's- It's barely edible but it hits an attractive price point. At least they no longer use the processed cheese food cubes that refuse to melt like they did in the '90s.
3. Papa John's- Possibly the worst non-Sbarro pizza I've ever had. The crust is like flavorless, damp cardboard, the toppings are mediocre at best, and the sauce is revoltingly sweet.

Dominos is unranked. It was the worst pizza I'd had prior to Papa John's but given that they've allegedly revamped their recipe and I haven't eaten there since about 1986 I don't feel qualified to pass judgment.

It's not even close, PJ's.

you people do realize that the crust of pizza isn't supposed to be flavorful, right? it's dough. it's supposed to just taste like bread. it isn't supposed to have stupidass garlic butter all over it, it isn't supposed to be sweet, it isn't supposed to be salty, it isn't supposed to be thick and fried, and it sure as fuck isn't supposed to be stuffed with cheese...

papa john's wins this competition. none of these pizza chain options are that good, but of all four of them, papa john's sucks the least.

- pizza hut: way too much grease and way too much salt. after you have a slice, you feel like your stomach mimic's the gulf of mexico after the bp oil spill. the ONLY redeeming qualities they have is that they have a hand-tossed pizza as well as red onions. their hand-tossed crust is not too bad, but a little on the sweeter and saltier side than i'd like for my crust to be. i've already experienced the sweetness and saltiness on the interior of the pizza... why do i need it with the crust, too?

- domino's: wow, what an absolute fail by this company. they "improved" their recipe. whatever. no, they didn't. they bastardized it. they made their pizza sauce sweeter and put in more italian seasonings and then they decided "this pizza isn't horrible enough" and decided to coat the crust with some shitty herb garlic butter. seriously?? why? there wasn't anything wrong with the crust. it's pizza crust. what do you think crust is supposed to be? pie crust is boring, but necessary... bread crust is boring, but necessary... pizza crust is SUPPOSED to be boring, but necessary. know why? because it concludes the flavor profile. you have all these flavors you just ate in the pizza, then you finish it off with a nice, crispy and soft crust that mellows out your pallet. that's what crust does for us... it's the calm conclusion to a flavor party. it isn't supposed to be another calorie-laden flavor party, too.

- little caesar's: not that good, but better than the above two. the crust is "meh" because it doesn't have that great a texture. plus, it's a little more sweeter on the tastebuds than it should be. can't beat those big crust bubbles in the middle of the pizza, though. also, the fact that they're $5/pie is awesome, especially if you're entertaining during a football game or birthday party or something. the sauce is a bit on the flavorless side, though. however, again, it's only $5... not a pizza to bring home for the family unless you were broke and in a super hurry to get dinner on the table.

- papa john's: plain crust... maybe a little on the sweeter side, but not as bad as all of the other flavor offenders. WAY too much cheese on that thing... i can't even taste the toppings. it's only slightly better than little caesar's, which isn't exactly a praise, but it's saving them from being in the ranks of pizza hut or domino's.

bj's pizza > all those the above

For all you little bastards whining about Dominoes:

They were gonna fail. You fuckers werent buying enough god damn pizza. They had to change their recipe. And according to their surveys, the VAST majority of customers greatly prefer the new style.
Dominoes is selling pizza again. There are still in business. Quit crying about the new taste, its what kept the company alive.

just because 'most' like the taste of the new dominoes does not mean everyone does. I still prefer a little hole in the wall place that has good food to mass marketed generic tasting food of any type.

better still I'll make my own and get it just the way I like it.

This is like comparing Bud Light to Miller Light to Coors Light. They all suck donkey balls.

 

[NetWareHead]

Eww at all the choices. WTF how anybody could think these four choices are passable as pizza. I agree with the previous statement about crust should be plain. Pizza sauce should NOT be overly sweet and lip puckering. However if I had to choose, pizza hut is the "best" out of those four. Dominos and papa johns are horrible.

I find a mom and pop pizza shop in my area and stick to them when I'm in the mood for pizza. Or I make my own.

 

[boomhower]

Pizza Hut is my favorite of the bunch by far, second would be PJ's. LC is good for a cheap, fast, in the pinch dinner.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

Ah yes, the AT pizza snobs arrive right on time.

 

[Farmer]

Pizza Hut pan pizza dominates.

Having eaten pizza all over the world you are 100% wrong. go back to enjoying your Totinos Party Pizza you get out of the frozen section at your grocery store.

My preference for the listed: PH > PJ > DOM > LC

I like Domino's thin and crispy pizzas, but I don't care for their regular crust. I used to like LCs, but lately the pizza has been terrible.

Locally we have a couple mom/pop shops that have really good pizza, so we order from them most of the time.

We also have a Jets Pizza and a Pizza King (which I thought was just a local place, but I see someone else has one by them), and I would put either of their pizzas at the front of the chain pizza list. Jets > PK > PH > PJ > Dom > LC

 

[Vdubchaos]

I make my own. WHole Foods Multi Grain dough FTW.

OUt of the ones listed I only tried Papa Johns once.

 

[PowerYoga]

Papa Johns hasn't failed me yet, it's always had a ton of toppings and the pizza arrives hot and the cheese is always melty. They also have some good combinations for a relatively decent price.

Dominos is shit and pizza hut's quality seems to differ greatly depending on where you are. Never had little ceaser's

That is pretty much how it is in my area. Papa John's is consistently good, Domino's is generally decent, and Pizza Hut varies tremendously. We have a Chicago Pizza which is generally very good but they don't deliver so I have to be in the mood to go pick it up.

just because Peyton Manning is doing commercials for them...lol

 

[Iron Woode]

I've never had Papa John's, but I like the crust on Pizza Hut, so I'd probably put it first. Super greasy and crunchy...yum! Dominos was always my least favourite because the crust sucked.

KT

I tried Papa Johns here and it was fine.

They have a much better sauce than anyone else. The crust was very nice. Overall not bad at all.

Pizza Hut still makes a better pizza though.

 

[Dee67]

My preferences of those 4 would be Papa Johns first. Domino second.

I haven't had Pizza Hut in over 10 years, there must be a reason so I'll put them last.

I used to like Little Caesars and would have put them 2nd.. BUT in my area they went under for some years, unavailable and when they came back they're doing this "our pizza is hot and ready IN ADVANCE - come get one for 5 bucks!" not the same pizza - don't care for it. so 3rd place.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

just because Peyton Manning is doing commercials for them...lol

He just bought 21 Papa John's franchises as well.

 

[zinfamous]

i loved papa john's until they started making my stomach churn every damn time. ...also, the sugar. blech. Still, they get points for introducing the garlic butter.


Pizza Hut overall. I have fond childhood memories of their "deep dish"
