I wanna know how Hockey Puck- Hockey Puck went nationwide and HH didn't.

L'il Sneezer's ain't pizza after all.

so...is it the flavored crust that makes it "Detroit Style," or is that something else? Has to be something else, right?

I see that there is one of these out on the eastern shore/Delaware (not worth the trip--I only head that way if I'm going antiquing!), but also one back in Raleigh...so maybe I will try when I head back home for XMas...but nothing on their website convinces me that this is something that I need to try.

It's not, HH's is a budget pizza chain that got the smackdown from little Caesar's, not that Caesar's is anything to write home about but HH was awful.

Um, no.

They operate in:
Alabama
Arizona
Colorado
Florida
Georgia
Illinois
Indiana
Kentucky
Michigan
Minnesota
Missouri
New York
North Carolina
Ohio
Pennsylvania
South Carolina
Tennessee
Texas
Virginia
Wisconsin

They've been in TN (32 locations) for years. It's Detroit style pizza and pretty good for a chain place.

I live in Indiana and have never heard of Jets.

Obviously that doesn't saturate the state, but for someone to say "no one outside the great sate of MI would know about" is wrong. That was my only point. They are growing and far superior to Pizza Hut, Dominos, Papa Johns or many of the other chains.

Yeah, none are super close to me but I'll have to give them a try. I wonder why they haven't advertised locally.

Probably cause they aren't close to you? :D You're going to find better pizza a lot of times for specialty shops that grill fire or specialize in pizzas. But, Jet's is good for ordering in with the family and being lazy, avoiding having to cook :D

I'm in the Indy metro area, so I would think I would've seen ads for them by now because they do have a few places in Indy. But I typically do go to the local shops instead and only get the chain stuff when I have to (don't tell the ATOT pizza snobs).

I had South of Chicago a couple times when I was there and enjoyed it.
