Didn't work near me. Closed before I had a chance to try it. I think Little Ceaser is going into same place.

Ehh ... I have Luigi's, Panhandlers, Rosati's, JJ Twig's, Giuseppe's as well as chains like Pizza hut and dominos in the town of about 12K in which I live. (There is a Papa Murphy's too...)

Luigi's pizza is fvckin awesome, owned by a 50-60 year old Italian American, everything is uber delicious. Also has kick ass italian beef as well as Lasagna. My only complaint, is that they are frugal with their sauce there, but, I often add sliced tomatoes to the pizza, and IMO, sliced tomatos are way better than pizza sauce....
Best pizza: Double Decker or Deep Dish with Italian Beef, Onions, Green Peppers, and tomato slices.

Panhandler's Pizza is very delicious. Best Stuffed pizza in town IMO. But overall, not quite as good as Luigi's.
Best pizza: Stuffed sausage, green pepper, onion, mushroom

Rosati's is a "chain" with like 20-30 restaurants.
Pretty much everything is good, but they don't get me excited like Luigi's or Panhandlers.

JJ Twigs is more or less a bar that has pizza, not a fan of their pizza, but It's better than some places.

Never been to Giuseppe's, have so many choices, and such a huge fan of Luigi's that I dunno if I ever will go here.

Pizza hut and Dominos are garbage IMO. But, I haven't had Domino's since the 90s, and I've heard that they have changed their pizza's around a lot.

Best "cheap" pizza, IMO, is Little Caesar's. I have to drive like 15 minutes to get to one of them though, but for $5 a piece, lots of cheese, tasty sauce, and decent crust ... it's hard to go wrong.

pappa murphys is good and the size of the pizza for the price makes it even better.

True, I got a "family" sized pizza for us last night with free cheesy bread for four adults last night and all of us were starving. We ate half the pizza and about 2/3 of the cheezy bread and were absolutely stuffed. The pizza was HUGE!

Domino's is still cheap chain pizza, but it's definitely better than it used to be.

Donato's pizza is also really good but in my area there's only one restaurant and it's nowhere near my place.

Costco pizza is also very good, IMO, but they don't have any topping options since they have to sell so many pizzas (i guess?) Only Cheese, Peperoni and supreme, never had supreme myself. Sam's Club take and bake are huge and have a ridiculous amount of fresh toppings on their meat pizzas, for under 9 bucks. Hard to beat that. Another winner is 'Great Value' (Walmart brand, who also owns Sam's club) 3 meat pizza for around 4 bucks.

Our Papa Murphy's just opened and the coupons they mailed out had prices a little higher than a comparable cooked & delivered pizza(including the delivery charge). Don't think I will be patronizing their establishment any time soon.

"Comparable" is a bit misleading...Some of the Papa Murphy pizza's deck in at like 4 pounds of food. They come in a dish to keep everything in place. Not a cardboard plate.

Yeah, we had a stuffed pizza and I bet that thing was an inch and a half thick after it was baked.
