Pizza snob here🙋‍♂️ I haven’t had much chain pizza in recent years. I did have to get Domino’s in a pinch when I had Covid and had to quarantine. It was…. adequate. I’ll say that it was greatly improved from the last time I ate it, back in my 20s when it was the last place open after the bars got out and you had made your way home. You’d be too faded to care, lmao, it was just something to soak up the booze before you passed out. They definitely have attempted an upgrade in quality. It’s not great, but it’s not gross either.

I haven’t had it in decades, but back in the day, there wasn’t much better than sitting down for table service at a Pizza Hut and getting a personal pan pizza. There were two locations I’d go to on dates with my girlfriend the last couple years of high school, depending on where we were trying to go afterwards. Oh, man…. if I could take a time machine to 1996 and get a pepperoni pan pizza, and put the red pepper flakes on there….😙🤌 Sorry…getting lost in a teenage pizza nostalgia moment, lmao. I bet it sucks now in comparison to the past just like most things that still exist today that were around 25+ years ago, but I prefer to just remember it as it was🥲❤️🍕

So my view might be different since I'm in India.
So it's a tie between Pizza Hut and Dominos.
Dominos is definitely more economical here since you can get pizzas costing the equivalent of less than a dollar and they're very generous with toppings.
However Pizza Hut while a little bit more pricey has much better quality of bread and sauce.

Overall I'd still go for dominoa since i can get 6inch pizzas for like 4 dollars and it does taste good too.

DizzyDesii · Answer

The chains stopped being good after childhood or teen years. Im def into local pizza places now

PizzaDaddyo · Answer

All chains suck! Don’t buy it!!! Support your local small businesses and just buy their pizza instead lol your helping the community a bit by doing so. I don’t want my money going to Papa John fuck that guy.
Papa John, your ranked number zero!
Pizza Hut was amazing back in the day now it’s ass.
Dominoes is probably the better one out of them, but I’m not even gonna choose any of them.
Oh, I forgot little Caesars is negative one… I trust their pizza box more than their pizza.

Do yourself a favor and go to your local pizzeria. You will get mad respect if you pull up to a party and you got Tony’s pizza compared to if you brought Papa John’s Pizza everybody will hate you think about it…

I just remembered my screen name for this is the pizzadaddyo lmfao. I literally make pizzas for fun end. After watching a few YouTube videos it’s pretty easy it just takes some time maybe try making your own pizza and then you’ll have your own opinion on what pizza should be.

zeitgeist057 · Answer

Honestly I'm not too impressed with the options. Round Table is the best chain I've ever been to, by a long shot.

Let's settle this once and for all. What is the best pizza chain?

I voted Papa Murphy's, because I love a take-n-bake value. But CPK would have been the other good one on the list. I don't really know Papa John's, but isn't it basically Papa Murphy's clone? The rest, little Cesar, domino's, Pizza Hut, they are all crap just cheap and easy (insert your mom joke here). I eat Dominos like 2-3 times a year, but literally only because they sell a pizza that feeds three people for $7.

Marcos I haven't heard of.

Where I am, there are two good "build your own" places: Pieology and Blaze. They are both great if you know what you want (I do) and have good ingredient options. They will also put as much as you want on of any and every topping, which is also great. I could understand if someone wasn't a chef or culinarily inclined they might not like that option because sometimes I have to ask literally 5+ times for "more blue cheese" or "more garlic" because they don't put enough the first 5 times, and someone who has no idea how to cook wouldn't know any better and might not ask for more toppings even if they needed it. (Or they might be too shy/embarrassed to ask for what they want as well)

abc3643 · Answer

I am a New Yorker so pretty much all of them listed are shit.

Another chain: in my opinion's which is ubiquitous in the Saint Louis Missouri area. It makes "Saint Louis-style pizza" which is hardly pizza.

You also forgot Pizzeria Uno which, IIRC, makes Chicago deep dish pizza. Again, not pizza; just a round lasagna.

For me, it's Racanelli's New York Style Pizzeria but it's a tiny chain of 3 locations in the Saint Louis area. It _IS_ real New York Style pizza so, for me, it's a lifeline from the vast wasteland of pizza that is America outside of New York.

molonski2 · Answer

Everything has to be settled " once and for all " ..

The answer is - NONE.

If you are going to have a Pizza , cook a proper one yourself , these chains are mass produced , processed , frozen rubbish , its not something you should be putting into your body , the bases are horrendous , carb laden crp. You can actually make a Pizza reasonably healthy , with great fresh ingredients , a low carb base , and importantly enough on top ! Don't give these chains the pleasure of slowly killing you , be determined , its not that hard , I'm no master Chef.

Nirghata_Vrishaghata · Answer

Pizza chains? These days I'd rather fast than stuff that crap down.

Stopped eating these mass produced pizzas ever since graduating college.

Used to be every Tuesday was Dominos day for the simple reason you could get it for $5, cheap and good plus leaves extra for beer money.

Pizza Hut? That has to be the worst of the crap.

I guess if I had to pick one then it would be Papa John's.

Luopio27 · Answer

I boycot pizza hut for being served by a dam pretty white blomd bitch who smiled with joy to my aunt but served me with a body language that screamed my blackness ain't shit.

I mean curtosy was so low on me and high on my white aunt. She barely looked me in the eyes, answered my food questions with one word while her queations with joyful and passionate recomendations.

Good customer service has nothing to do with sexual favors of any kind. That bitch acted as if she was forced married to me. All I wanted was to order my food, have my meal served and eat it with my aunt. I didn't check her out, flirt or degrade her in anyway.

najekim · Answer

Of the list, I choice Dominos.

I used to work at Pizza Hut in the 70's but the sauce was changed to a sweeter type that I don't really care for. Same goes for Papa Johns. Little Caesars was good but when they went away from two pizzas for the price of one, I stop getting them. California Pizza Kitchen I really wouldn't called actual pizza since they put so many non-pizza ingredients on them. Marcos Pizza I haven't had the opportunity to try since they are not in my part of the country.

As far a regional pizza chain, I'd have to say Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana is the best and has been voted the best in many national polls.

Best pizza overall is the one I grew up with that has only one store in the entire world and uses the same, time tested, family recipe ingredients from the 1950's and also uses slices of cheese instead of shredded.

Give it a rest! This question has been asked 100 times. So much for "once and for all".

Pizza the Hutt!!! :-P These other chains don't exist in Central Europe, as far as I know...

LaFemmeFatale_1 · Answer

I like Pizza Hut for personal reasons, I was having lunch there when I met my ex fiancé who saw me from outside and decided he must have approached me.  I often go there. But pizza is meh.

SaoirseS · Answer

I like Pizza Hut thin & crispy pizzas probably best of all the chains listed (and a few that aren't). But the BEST pizza is served on occasion at Saoirse's Sorry Gulch Saloon and Sarsaparilla Stop.

CheeseMonster · Answer

Unfortunately my taste buds recently changed and I now only like some chain pizzas. So although previously I would have said dominoes, easy, now I'd have to say little Ceasars. Which I never thought was bad but... you know. I wish I still liked dominoes. They have that 5 cheese pizza. 🍕🧀

electromagnetic · Answer

Little Caesars definitely when I was in highschool.  I go to a family owned place now since it’s closer to home and I like their options more than big chain companies

LovingJo · Answer

Don't know half of these, so out of the ones I know, it'd be dominoes!

worldscolide · Answer

If i had to pick my favorite pizza place, its not on this list. We have a place where im from called Ken's Pizza. Best pizza i have ever had. But on that list my vote was for Dominoes.

Talk about an OXYMORON & PIZZA CHAIN is one of them & food especially pizza shouldn’t be made on a conveyor belt.

bolverk · Answer

Would not know, I've never used any of the chains, I prefer a local place that does freshly made Pizzas, along with Kebabs in their various forms.

ColHathi · Answer

The only place I know is Dominos, and it's shit, so I voted Papa Murphy's Pizza to see the results.

Likes2drive · Answer

California pizza Kitchen out of all those, never had Pap Murphys , Pizza Hut is second. Best pizza near me is Umbertos and then Pizza in Manhattan

CupcakeTheDestroyer · Answer

I’ve worked at domino’s, I’m not eating another one of their pizzas unless it’s free. And they make terrible leftovers no matter how much they advertise otherwise.

NamerOfStars · Answer

Lou Malnati's you coastal heathen. But of those you've listed- well, actually, NOT listed, but you used the picture- I'll go with Jet's; also an excellent choice.

TallAnon · Answer

I have to say, each chain is a very different experience depending on the country. Also, local places are usually better.

blackgaletiger · Answer

Pizza hut rules them all. They are extremely expensive compared to most put once in awhile its a nice treat. Their bread sticks are also good as well.

ShadezMcgee · Answer

Prefer a local pizza place now, actually. Out of the brands here though I eat Pizza Hut more. I used to work for Papa Johns.

Sparkie460 · Answer

I've never had pizza from a pizza chain place. I always bought from a local family owned pizza place. I've tried just about every one in my neighborhood. I've been going to the same place for almost 30 years.

WhitneySnow · Answer

Local places are better but the best of those chains is Papa John’s. Even if the guy who founded it isn’t a very nice person.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

Pizza is quite an individualistic 'product'. So the idea of a ''chain'' feels counter intuitive to me.

OfMiceandMen · Answer

I would say Papa John's in the above-mentioned choices. I find Pizza Hut way to oily.

RobT312 · Answer

For the chains listed, I’d say CPK. For best pizza I’d say Pequod’s deep dish in Chi

I like Pizza Hut more than all restaurants of any kind.

Jets pizza was/ is great but it depends on the location

MysteriousDarkness · Answer

I knew the poll was going to be flawed even before seeing it. There are way too many pizza chains to have an end all be all best one.
