No, and if I go to my grave never knowing the atrocities St Louis does to pizza I will be good with that. Thank you for the heads up. I've seen chili in Cincinnati, and I still have to go to counseling.

Yeah, that chili sucks too. They give you a peppermint patty at the restaurant though.

I used to like their pizza but Dominoes is way better. Once I discovered this.. I've stuck with Dominoes.

Ever since Domino's did the revamp a few years ago, I've actually thought their thin crust pizza is pretty damn decent for a chain.

Can't tolerate thick/pan crust from anyone, though. The bread just absorbs too much grease. And the last time I had Papa John's, the cheese tasted like melted plastic.

So I'm I literally the only one who likes Costco pizza?

Whenever I feel like dumping a gut bomb down the 'ol gullet (often enough to worry me about my health) and the wifey is off gossiping with her sister/friends, I stop off at Costco of which I pass by every day to and from work, swagger myself over to the snack bar, and for a surprisingly good price, I order me up a couple of slices of cheese pizza and one of their awesome hotogs, head home and pair that up with a sixpak of suds from the green bottle.

Makes my tummy so so happy. 😉

I would think the way to judge the truth of it is to look at pizza sales as the NFL protest has developed. I would also factor in polling trends.

Papa Johns advertises heavily during NFL games. As rating decline fewer people will see the commercials etc.

Trump created the most recent decline in NFL viewership when he lied about the NFL players' motives just to drum up some fauxrage among his base. Someone needs to explain to Papa John that elections have consequences.
 
Papa John has it covered.
He used the Capitals win as an excuse to promote his pizza.

Its all good. Nothing to see here move along.

Hey now, I like them all. But while I prefer NY style to others, I find Chicagoans' constant defense of their style for whatever reason, to be rather annoying. I lived there for a few years, and I do like it, but I don't find it to be so unique and so amazing to warrant the levels of pride that Chicagoans have for their stuffed and deep dish pizzas.

Italian beef and Chicago dogs, however, well that's different.

Chicago dogs are also an abomination. The only things that belong on a hot dog are mustard and sauerkraut.

you're confusing smoked/sausage/brat/basically anything that isn't a frankfurter with a frankfurter. In that case, you would be right, but Chicago dogs are frankfurters. You definitely belong on the list, but I'd say you earn an * because at the very least, you seem to acknowledge that ketchup has no place near a smoked/stuffed/pork/beef confection.

The first week I was here I tried a "Taste of Saint Louis" box. I haven't actually licked the streets or buildings, but I feel that its description was accurate.

looking at that image, it's like St Louis is lobbying for one of the dubious spots in the Guinness Records book.

I boil mine in ketchup and eat them in a tortilla, the way you're supposed to.

Way back in the '70s, in the Midwest, one popular hors d'oeuvre was to take little smokeys or sliced up wieners and serve them is a "cocktail sauce" that was mostly ketchup and a bit of yellow mustard. There might have been other spices in there but nothing too dangerous.
