I said "sucks compared to," not "sucks to the point of not being edible."

I would never sit back and think "I want a good burger, let's go to McDonald's (or pretty much any other fast food place)." But I do get them all the time when I'm driving somewhere.

Just like there are some places I wouldn't buy pizza from, but very few I would refuse to eat if offered. It's also ridiculous for people to claim there is no quality difference between a $5 and $20 pizza, or a $2 hamburger and a $10 burger, at least in general. Yeah, more expensive food can suck too, but in general you get a big step up in quality going from the super cheap to the restaurant quality. Although there is a burger place here that people love that I literally think is shit and I would take any of the fast food places over it.

Well, given the impetus of this entire discussion was basically that Chuck E. Cheese pizza isn't shitty, I guess we agree? 😛

McDonalds is McDonalds. It's like being happy with your new Corolla, and being told the M3 is better. Yea, no shit. There's a lot of reasons an M3 is better, but the Corolla will still get your groceries, and keep the rain off your head. Not being the best doesn't equal shitty.

A Corolla would be more comparable to some low or no-sugar whole foods you get at a grocery store. Boring, unsexy...but you won't have to take it to the shop except for regular maintenance and the essentials can last a long time.

Except the value menu, McDonalds is poor value from a calorie or nutrient per dollar standpoint. The oils are also subjected to rough and tough conditions, leading to the formation of cancer-causing chemicals.
It's more like a GM or Korean car product. First 100k, you notice nothing, but shit will happen eventually.

I already said that on the first page. Pretty sure I was the first defender of it. It's not great pizza, but there is much worse around.

One thing's for sure, it's not worth going around and collecting uneaten slices from other tables as you leave. Much like the all you can eat chain Ci-ci's it's about as bland as it gets. Special mention for Hungry Howie's too, God that's a horrible pie.
 
Was going to post a Snarf pic but that happened 3 pages back.

Now I will just say that Chuck e Cheese pizza is shit compared to most other pizza available. I'd rather have a Wild Mike's frozen pizza-flavored cardboard disk with cheese food topping and meat-like circles than a Chuck e Cheese pizza.
 
Wild Mike’s, now you’ve given me flashbacks to truly shitty pizza. I and a coworker were coming off two weeks of field work and pizza sounded totally awesome. Not being local, we picked the wrong place. It was the worst pizza since Sir Pizza. The disappointment was palpable.

I didn't know they were anything other than a brand of frozen pizza. It's a decent frozen pizza, at least.
 
When did Wild Mike's come into existence? I've only seen it recently. Never ate it because 5+ for a pie is not cost-effective even with a clean bill of health.
 
I am a cancer patient, my chances of even going into a Chuck E Cheese are none, let alone pick up & eat strangers leftovers…yuck!

It's larger than typical frozen pizzas, did you factor that into your equation?
And the better frozen pies are typically over $5 in any case...

I thought the whole point of CEC was so mom can get smashed while little Johnny runs around and plays games. Oh and get into fights because of said alcohol.

According to the signs they have on the tables, the new recipe is rated higher than Dominos :tearsofjoy:. It is much better than when I a kid.

I have to admit, I'd try it, at least once. 😛 It's like when someone says how terrible a movie is, you're still tempted to try to watch it anyway.

A lot of times the frozen version is nothing like the real version.
