What's your favorite large chain pizza company?

[Avalon]

A co-worker and I were in a debate over which large pizza chain is the best. Personally I prefer local places Fratellos, Lil Anthony's, or Lazy Moon. But, I just wanted to see what you guys here thought. I'm wondering if ATOT will mirror my thoughts, or my co-workers.

 

[HumblePie]

Uhh ohh... I see this one going places.

 

[gimmewhitecastles]

pizza hut for me.

but yea i prefer the local places.

Haha...well...I did qualify that I prefer local places, but I'm just simply interested to see where the vote goes.

Papa Murphy's makes a heckuva pizza if you don't mind baking it yourself. They're huge and have tons of toppings.

 

[Schadenfroh]

Pizza Hut Thin and Crispy > Papa Johns >>>>>> Dominoes >>>>>>>>>>> Little Caesars

 

[Avalon]

I am fully expecting it to be a 3 man race. I'm also not placing/revealing my vote until we have 100 votes. So get voting

 

[gimmewhitecastles]

You forgot to add Sbarro's and Cici's in your poll. Unless you're talking about places that can deliver.

They both suck btw.

Papa Johns > Pizza Hut > Dominoes. Never had the others...

I would eat any of them though, they are all decent. None of them can hold a candle to a good local pizza joint though, but I'm not too picky when I'm cramming my pie hole with pizza and beer.

OMNOMNOM

I never got the appeal of this. Your oven can't get nearly hot enough to properly bake a pizza.

Chain Store Pizza is an abomination.

No single chain is a favorite.
I like 'em all equally.
It is a matter of taste, what I am in the mood for at the time.

But yeah, excluding local Mom & Pops places, Papa Murphy's is the hands-down winner for pizza overall, if you have time to cook it

Papa John's for the chain ones, but I prefer the Pudge Brothers down the street.

Round Table

I guess Godfather's isn't large enough?

Godfather's super taco pizza, sour cream, hot souce. Damn that's good shit.

 

[AstroManLuca]

WTF is Hungry Howie's?

Around here we have Domino's, Papa John's, Pizza Hut, Little Caesar's, and Topper's.

IDK, I was focusing more on the delivery chains. I haven't been to a Goodfather's in a long time, do they deliver?

[KaOTiK]

I order from a major chain maybe once a year? I guess it would be pizza hut, I like the bread sticks and cinnasticks.

Although I guess according to the wiki, they really aren't so big in the grand scheme of things...I wonder who the hell #5-10 are?

If you live in the greater NYC metro area and you buy chain store pizza or bagels from dunkin donuts, you are a certifiable fucktard.

It would be like living in Philly and getting a cheesesteak from Arby's or something.

33 years old and don't remember a time when our local one didn't... Never heard of Hungry Howies or Toppers for that matter.

 

[Wyndru]

I used to love Papa John's when they first came to the area, but they all closed shortly after. We still have one, but it's always empty, and the quality went to shit.

I voted pizza hut, since I like it more than dominoes or little caesars, I've never heard of hungry howies.

Local and small chain pizzerias are everywhere around me, and much better than the large chains obviously.

Exactly!!!

You buy your pizza handmade from the Italian family who's (great)grandfather started the business 150 years ago.. and who probably hand built the (same) oven (they're still using) when he started the place.

And don't even get me started on Knishes! :wub:
