I kind of love Pizza Hut even though it's kind of terrible. Definitely a guilty pleasure for me.

Do you tip your drycleaner when they give you your shirts back? Do you tip the blind person in the bathroom handing you a towel?

I would not tip a drycleaner and I've purposely avoided the guy in the bathroom before and got my own damn towel to dry my hands. The expectation of a tip for handing a guy a towel is ludicrous. There is no value add with that service.

It doesn't matter whether or not people get paid less than minimum wage...

No, what matters is that I shouldn't have to tip every Tom, Dick, or Harry for doing his/her job. Since you say it doesn't matter if they make less than minimum wage or not, where is my tip when I deliver a new application at work? Or when I help someone with an issue?

If you're tipping the lady that hands you your pizza at the cashier station and not tipping the guy who takes your order at McDonald's or the lady who hands you your Big Mac, you aren't being consistent. Do you tip the guys at McDonald's, Wendy's, BK, and Taco Bell or not?

What? lol. No.

This. I think tokie may have toked one too many times. :awe:

There are tons of local chains that are awesome, but, they are all chicago area only (Lou Malnatis, Ginos, Eduardos, Unos, Rosatis, Nancys.)

Little Caesars the only national chain I like, they do not deliver though.

Little Caesars is trash!!! $5 large pizza... you know it can't be good. And I know it isn't -- I've tried them. D:

Papa Johns. Their pizza lacks the distinctive aftertaste of Socialism and Obamacare.

It's better than Dominos or Pizza hut. And, I prefer them of Papa Johns.


That said, it's not anywhere close to being "good pizza" , it just happens to be better than all the other national chains.

They're not bad. Maybe a little short on sauce. It doesn't really cost that much to make a pizza. That said, I hardly ever eat pizza. Kills my macros. It's just something I might get if I'm out drinking.

Not delivery but there's a bar in the area called pub dog that makes their own pizza. Those are really tasty. Coal Fire pizza is also good. There's a wine bar called facci that makes a pretty cool clam pizza.

I like going to franks pizza when I'm in pa.

As for national chain I think Pizza bolis would be my choice. I like their hawaiian pizza.

Papa Johns for chains. I like pineapple on a pizza when accompanied with ham or canadian bacon.

Little Caesar is excellent. It's the best bang/buck pizza. You couldn't get a shitty frozen pizza for $5, much less have someone make it for you.

I stopped at an indie just this weekend. I was going to go to LC, but I prefer indies when possible, and it was next door. Since they were so close, they had a $5 pizza too, and I got that. It was about half as good as LC. It was very greasy, and they used a sweet sauce on top. I feel good about supporting local business, but the pizza was inferior to LC. I'll stick with their subs in the future. They do that better than pizza.

I never order from pizza chain restaurants. Their pizza sucks and I can get far better pizza from the local mom & pop places.

My wife orders from Little Ceasars sometimes because my son and his friends like it. I have to admit, their garlic breadsticks aren't bad.

Pineapple doesn't belong on pizza. That is just gross.

I find it odd that Hawaiian-Style Pizza is always made with pineapple, because I've been told by Hawaiians that they don't put pineapple on their pizza, and that we're just silly "mainlanders"! o_O

A local place called Sonny's Pizza is my favorite. Beats the Pizza hut's and Domino's of the world all to hell.

Little Caesars sucks but if you have party for kids its the way to go for sure. However I will eat their damn crazy bread like mofo. It is absolutely terribly bad for you but for some reason I love it!

Pizza Hut - in my area not too bad. I prefer their pan or thin crust pizza only. Problem is 99% of the time its burnt and takes an hour or more to get. Just a huge PITA

Papa Johns - not bad in the right combo of toppings. Buffalo chicken is quite good. Love their cheese sticks though.

Dominos - winners for most improved for sure. I will only eat their new pan pizza none of the rest. I really like the parmesan bites for some reason also and believe it or not I really like their chicken bacon ranch sub.

The local mom and pop places by far have WAY better pizza for sure I we do our best to eat there whenever we can (even pick up) but sometimes you just need delivery, plain and simple. Also I typically prefer DiGiorno's (yes the heresy) over any of the chain pizzas. I also like to do a simple make my own with Boboli crust, some sauce made from mixing a few different things of my choice. I also like to make a chicken and spinach alfredo pizza the same way. This is one of our favs at the moment.

Oh and any pizza place where I can get Canadian Bacon on a pizza I am more than willing to try out!

Also, I would rather eat a 12 day old abortion than Costco pizza. Might as well be chuck-e-cheese
