My favorite commercial Pizza chain is Dominoes :D I love their garlic crust and their sauce. but my favorite pizza place of all time is a local pizza shop called Mike's pizzeria. They layer triple layers of cheese and meats. Each slice weights maybe a quarter pound. :) The staff is Very friendly and always uplifting. Its really an experience to eat there. Its expensive but worth it. But typically I order dominoes. I am a dominoes fan boy. My friend hates them so we usually get 2 deliveries because he favors papa johns. I like papa johns too but I don't like the crust and dough.
What is your favorite pizza chain? :)
-
My Italian friend's, mother's pizza. Straight up family recipe straight from the source, can't beat it. Take it over any pizza chain, anytime.

All of those that don't live on the West Coast have no clue. Round Table Pizza is amazing. Never have I been disappointed, never has it tasted like canned or frozen ingredients, never does the cheese come out rubbery, and they have this magical ranch dip that tastes better than any other I have ever had. Dominoes and Pizza Hut are crap in comparison, no joke.
But more than Round Table Pizza (which is a chain over here), is a local place in my town called Player's Pizza. Not as good of ranch as Round Table, but even better pizza, which was hard for me to believe until I tried it. The toppings are piled so freaking high that the pizza sags as you take it out. It's fantastic! Not only that, but that was my local arcade growing up as a kid. So much money wasted on Raiden II.

My Dad built a Pizza oven in the back garden, knead some dough, plate up some condiments and prepare your pizza just as you please. The sheer novelty of the thing makes the pizza's much more enjoyable! You can cook all sorts of things in it too!
We're talking about a nice thing, I feel like I'm always complaining in the threads as of recent.

I used to like Mellow Mushroom when they had the Caesar salad pizza but they seemed to have discontinued that. My new favorite is Marco's.
-
Pizza is pizza. It's all good but I'd say my favorite is Anthony's Pizza, but it's rather expensive for what it is. You can get a good lunch deal though. My other favorite places are pretty much all of them, but I think I'm partial to Papa Johns and Dominos. Little Caesars is also good for a quick, cheap pie.
-
Local authentic Italian pasta & pizza restaurants first and foremost. As for chains, I haven't ordered in years, no comment.
-
Not super picky about pizza, but I've generally always liked Pizza Hut for their crusts. Not that there isn't better pizza, there certainly is, but I love their stuffed crust.
-
I got agree, dominoes is the best chain. BJs got pretty good pizza but not cheap
Little ceasers and la pizza loca for that cheap pizza
-
Chainwise- Pizza Hut- Can't beat their $6 Medium 3-Topping Deal
For better quality, I usually go to Stefano's or Pizza Rev. Round Table is pretty good, but there are almost none in my area.

Favorite chain place would have to be Marco's. They make a solid pizza pie for a good price. Amazing cheese bread as well.
After them, I'd have to say Jet's Pizza. Their deep dish is quite good when it doesn't give me an upset stomach (from the crapton of garlic they use).
For cheap eats, it's usually Little Caesars or Domino's. Papa Johns used to be up there but it has slid downward considerably in the last few years. There's a local chain called LaRosa's that makes a decent, yet overly expensive, pie. Donato's is good if you like thin crust but likewise is rather expensive. One more for the expensive but decent list would be Godfather's Pizza. The Uno's here is nothing like the one in Chicago (which, while good, feels more like a "pizza casserole" than a pizza pie :P)
I'd call Pizza Hut dog food but that would be an insult to dog food. :P Chuck E. Cheese pizza is only a small step up, being the closest to ketchup on cardboard that I've found but at least they have killer breadsticks. ;)
Chains/Locations I've not been to: Mellow Mushroom (heard it's expensive and hoity-toity), Dewey's Pizza (this is on my short list of places I want to try), Papa Murphy's Take N' Bake and/or Mama Mimi's Take and Bake (I'll never understand how this concept ever got off the ground ???) and various local mom n' pop places about town that are too expensive to be considered. We tried to eat at a place called Fratelli's a few weeks ago and saw people coming out with HUGE boxes so we went in, saw them charging almost $15 for a medium and promptly walked out. :(

In NY, Tony's.
Thick cheese like bubble gum. Thin crust. So much grease you swear your going to have a heart attach three bites in.
Here in Cali...
Sal's. You can get them to make it the same way. The owner is from New York. :)
-
I don't know if it exists outside of Colorado, but there is a Pizza chain here called Marcos Pizza that has hands down the tastiest Pizza I've ever had. Specifically their location in Louisville, just east of Boulder, is the best.

Going to Player's Pizza tonight. I'll try to remember to take a pick of the generous toppings.

Pizza is like sex. Even if you're eating bad pizza, you're still eating pizza. ;)
For chains; I like Domino's, Pizza Hut, and Papa John's.
My favorite pizza is a place called Upper Crust Pizza. Give me that Greek with extra olives! I love it.
-
My favorite chain for the lord of all foods are Mellow Mushroom, California Pizza Kitchen and Jet's.
For non-chains, I like the NY Pizza Exchange in Atlanta.

Wait, where are you at? Upper Crust is a local place here where I live. Either we're close, or it's just a crazy coincidence.

It's in Jonesboro Arkansas. As far as I know there's just two stores associated with each other. One is more of a pizzeria feel and the other is a little more like a sit-down restaurant.
I'm sure there are more pizza places named Upper Crust. It's a good name for a pizza joint.

Yeah, coincidence, then. People rave about the Upper Crust here, too. I've never been, personally.

I've only been to a couple of pizza places outside of my city. I hit one in the middle of nowhere in Arizona or New Mexico (I honestly can't even remember what state I was in) and the pizza was homemade and realllllly good.
Other than that... Chicago's Pizzeria in San Antonio, TX. It's not often that you can get Chicago style pizza outside of Chicago that bares any resemblance to authentic Chicago style pizza. Most places either just serve you deep dish (Not Chicago style) or they don't use cornmeal in the dough (Most places will add food dye over cornmeal, to save money and keep that yellow color).

for "chains" Lou Malnati's. othewise I go for my local place La Villa, or if i want to travel I will go to Vito and Nick's. Being from Chicago there are a ton of local places not too many chains. And no we all don't just eat deep dish, Chicago style thin cracker crust is more popular. Vito and Nick's has some of the best in the city.

I've never found a place that serves good Chicago bar pizza. It's almost always New York style, without that crunch.

Well my favourite pizza place I've eaten from was a restaurant I went to in Gran Canaria called Da Pinocchio. It was a general Italian restaurant but half the menu was pizza so it was basically a pizza place. It was really fancy though, proper Italian pizza, extremely thin base, could barely even pick it up with my hands. I had a "Pizza Scampi" which was a prawn pizza (I was a pescatarian at the time so had to eat pleb pizza) and oh my god it was amazing. I only got to eat there a few times but I seriously haven't tasted anything like it since. It was awesome. It was just cheese, tomato and prawns with the usual Italian miscellanies but it had some kind of stock covering it as well which gave it this amazing flavour.
They were also the only restaurant out of the literally hundreds that covered the district that didn't have people stood outside chasing you down the street trying to drag you in so that was a plus.
In terms of local chains, Domino's all the way. Used to love Pizza Hut but one day their pizzas started tasting disgusting to me all of a sudden. I get myself a takeaway most weekends and I usually go for a Domino's. Large Meateor pizza, Domino's stuffed crust, replace the BBQ sauce with extra tomato sauce. Get some chicken wings & garlic bread pizza with it on the side. Heaven.
Don't know what they did with their sriracha chicken wings though. I was sad to see them go. They were lovely.

Is is one of the Upper Crusts in the Boston area? They were one of my favorites when I lived out there, and they also made a pretty good calzone!
-
Round Table has good pizza and atmosphere, but for quick take-home pizza I go to Domino's or get Digiorno frozen pizza (with loads of Tapatio hot sauce on it). The egg pizza at a local place called World Pizza is really good, but they're a little expensive.
Not pizza, but I love Little Caesar's hot wings! Haven't had it in forever though.

It's not. It's in Jonesboro, AR. I doubt it's part of the same bunch.
