Perhaps I'm snoody or something, but I'm under the impression that all delivery pizza chains are complete shit. I haven't ordered delivery pizza in years. Last time I recall we because others wanted to order it while at our house for a friends gathering.

If I want Pizza at home, I actually like this brand at my grocery store, pretty damn good http://www.screaminsicilian.com/

If I want damn good pizza while out I'll go to BJs and get a good beer with it https://www.bjsrestaurants.com/menu/pizza
I've tried that Screamin' Sicilian a couple times, pretty lackluster for seven bucks IMO. I'll stick with Freschetta for frozen pizza.
I have NEVER seen any good mom and pop pizza joint ever be cheaper than a chain. Not once ever. Better and more expensive but never cheaper
My experience as well.

It can't be as bad as little Caesars... I mean that's not even possible....

Little Caesars is so bad, an LCU (Little Caesars Unit) operates on the nano scale of quality measurement. Where Pizza Hut operates on the standard scale, e.g.: 100 PHUs = 1 Pizzaria Uno, it takes 1000 LCUs to equal 1 PHU.

I think the most recent conversion has 1 Papa Johns = ~800 LCUs

Papa johns is fucking terrible, their whole slogan is better ingredients better pizza is a crock of shit. Their pepperoni taste like fucking cancer and the crust is like damn cardboard.

10-15 years ago it use to be a treat, now its in the same class as little caesars...

You know what cancer tastes like?

One of my wife's favorite stories from when she was a police officer:

"My partner and I would sometimes get a pizza to share as we didn't get a scheduled break and had to eat on the go. A lot of places would give us 1/2 off or a free large pizza, which was nice. We went to Papa Johns and they gave us a large pizza for free, and we both at 2 pieces, so half of the pizza was left. We saw a homeless guy walking under a bridge by the freeway, so we pulled over and offered him the rest of the pizza.

The homeless guy asked "Oh..uh...thanks! What kind is it?"
I said "Papa John's.."

"No thanks...their sauce gives me the shits!"


For some reason, Papa John's won't put this story on their testimonials page.

That's interesting, around here, LC and PH are roughly equivalent, and LC wins because it's five bucks, versus ten for something slightly better.
