Dominos, before they changed about 3-4 years ago makes the worst list (#2)....but now are middle of the pack IMO

Pizza hut is way worse to me than papa johns. Papa John's isn't great, but I will get every once in awhile if they have a decent deal going.

Also, little Caesar's is bad, but their deep dish is ok

Stop ragging on Pizza Hut. And I do not consider myself white trash!

if you ever go to Austin,TX stay away from Roppolo's, it has to be the worst example of pizza man has created.

What does one expect from a national chain?

I don't mind Papa John's, Pizza Hut, or Little Caesars. I would choose any of them over Domino's. But, I would never go national chain if I am looking for quality.

For me, Little Caesar's is the worst and Pizza Hut is #2. Have cool memories about Papa Johns, but I haven't eaten that stuff in a long-ass time, so my memory might be accurate. Stoner college kids don't exactly set high standards for what they're wolfing down on a given day.

I love Pizza Hut. Haven't had Papa Johns in forever. Haven't had Dominos since the remake.

How about Marcos?

Little Sleezers is terrible but for $5 hot and ready I can live with it. Sleezers bread sticks are GOAT

Casano's is AWESOME.

This is 100% fact, Luigi's is the best pizza in NE Ohio.


In terms of crap.

1. Little Caesars (and it isn't even close)
2. Papa Johns
3. Pizza Hut

If I am going chain, the best in our area is Gionino's then East of Chicago's.

When I lived close to Akron, Luigi's was me and my wife's favorite (she went to U of Akron). We also liked Gionino's and Guiseppe's.

As for Chain places - I think Donato's is the best, followed by Domino's, Papa John's. Pizza Hut and Little Ceasers are the worst.If we have to do Pizza Hut, usually do thin thrust - not as greasy!

Now in North Carolina, I miss good pizza.Almost all the places are NY style places and not much variety. Lately we have been getting a new chain place called Papa Murphy's. It is good and fresh! Any in OH? They prepare the pizza, but you cook it at home.

Just speaking the truth. Pizza Hut is the type of place where you see kids barefoot and in diapers running around the buffet.

There was one in Findlay, but I think it lasted less than a year. The pizza wasn't bad.

When we were in Cbus for the Wisky game, we got one from the location next to Little Bar, and it sucked (and we were even wasted-lol). Maybe I just had a bad one, so I wouldn't be opposed to giving it another shot.

Little Ceasars isn't even in the same sport, or stadium, or field.

I think I had it twice when I was a teenager and even then it was disgusting.

Chain pizza can always be bad but overall I think Papa Johns is pretty solid - for what one expects. It isn't going to take over your local place that makes good pizza, but for a chain it is consistent.

I like Jets pizza. I think that'd be considered a chain.

In other words, Ernest is going to play the role of Sleeper and go batshit crazy on how Pizza Hut is the best pizza out there due to it being popular and affordable and how anyone talking about more regional chains is just a snob idiot.

Not quite... I love any pizza. I just realize that you get what you pay for.
