Best Pizza?
 

1. Pizza Hut (Kansas)
2. Dominos (Michigan)
3. Little Caesars (Michigan)
4. Papa Johns (Kentucky)
5. California Pizza Kitchen (California)
6. Papa Murphy?s (Washington)

You would think that, based on pizza lore, Chicago or New York would be in the top handful?

FULL LIST

:helpme

i think everybody agrees the best pizzas don't come from franchise chains.

Yep, its funny when people even discuss that, its obvious that "best" always be some chain stores simply because they have the most exposure. Plus you can not objectively say which one is best. Most of the good ones are good enough, there is no one that is magically above all. So these lists are for entertainment only.

Sales =/= best

That's like saying Walmart is better than Nordstrom cause they outsell Nordstrom. No, it just means Walmart sells more shitty stuff than Nordstrom sells good stuff.

What's "best" is subjective to your opinion or point of view as you're referring to the taste/price/value.

These listed above obviously go by both total gross annual revenue, and reach (i.e. stores/franchises).

True dat.

100% agree!

Spot on. However CPK does have some amazing pizza, it's more "designer" pizza IMO

Pizza Hut, Dominos, etc., are pretty far from "pizza" and more an American renovation gone wrong

I had Little Caesers a couple months ago - hadn't had them in eons and figured I'd try one of their Hot n' Ready's with crazy bread (and I used to have crazy bread allll the fucking time when I was younger). Was the worst tasting pizza I've had in a long time, maybe ever. Bland shit on cardboard crust. Worse than old Dominos even (new Dominos is actually pretty good).

Ironically, I'd say Costco is better than all of those 6, and Round Table better than those and Costco.

Did you get it for a "buck buck"? :winkwink:

those are all chains

i rarely ever eat at any of those :2 cents::2 cents:

Sbarro :winkwink:

no pizza for me.,
KFC fan here

The best pizza is who will deliver it when the weather is horrendous or you are to drunk to drive.

Home made pizza , i just need better burn machine!

I can't even be friends with somebody who thinks Domino's is the best pizza

Best pizza in Toronto - The Big Slice on Yonge St. :thumbsup

Years ago I returned to NJ, and a huge dinner was held - Not that I am something special and all that, but it's not often I visit NJ. The only thing worth going back for is the freaking pizza. I don't know what it is, but the pizza there is completely different. So they said "anything you want for dinner" and I'm like "pizza". Behind my back they ordered six boxes of fucking dominos. Idiots; I can get that shit anywhere.

Pizza is pizza, but great pizza doesn't come from a chain.

Upper Crust in Summerlin

As long as there is pineapple on the pie I honestly don't mind where it's from.

home made of course :thumbsup

indeed...

This. To choose from the above listed I'd go Pizzahut.

Best I've ever had.. the one on 44th st

I have been to CPK three times and was disappointed every time. The first time was all about the service. They forgot about our order so it was almost an hour before we got our food then when they brought the pizza it was the wrong kind. To the manager's credit he comped the meal and seemed very apologetic.

The second time, again, it took forever to get the food and when it came it was burned badly and only about 35% of the pizza was edible. they gave us a second free pizza.

The last time I went the service was better, but the pizza just wasn't all that great. It wasn't bad, but not good enough that I would go out of my way to get it.

Maybe it is just the location I have been to though.

I do not like any of the top 3.

Pizza Hut used to be good but has gone to shit.

Dominos has gone to shit, but they do OK with their (new?) "artesian pizza."

Little Caesars has really, really gone to shit. Almost got sick the last time I ate it. I thought they were long gone until I moved to South Florida. I remember loving them 25 years ago.

Anyway, the best pizza is that you buy at 4 AM in Brooklyn, on some side street, at a place that always seems to be open.

i hate finding a great pizza place the new owners comes in and it sucks

the best pizza i ever had was in south beach...there is a little hole in the wall pizza spot
wish i knew the name, it was beside our hotel..right on the beach

anyway...amazing..i went back on the last day, wasnt hungry just wanted to have one more slice.

My bbq!
all kinds of toppings

The best Pizza is your LOCAL pizza restauant. Try to avoid the chains. If you must go with a chain, Dominos makes some mighty tasty pizza. Whatever you do though, NEVER by Papa Johns. Their pizza tastes like shit and the president of PJ's is a real dick.

i eat papa johns in china..i am happy they are there

Papa Johns make great pizza

Perhaps, but still not the best.

I agree, if I have to order out PJ's is pretty good; I get Dominos for their lava cakes.

You guys must've missed that article about San Diego having the best pizza in the US, by TripAdvisor.com. Bronx Pizza is really good.

Two best pizzas I've ever had. First was at a place called The Wheel in Antigonish N.S The second was in Tempe called The Mellow Mushroom

selling recipe

papa johns..

none of the above. Food Network had a special this weekend about the best pizza. They even showed my 2 favorites

I see Barefootsies as more of a champagne and caviar kind of guy nowadays.

Anybody in Western NY area either side of the border or visiting Niagara Falls - this is local legend for pizza, La Hacienda located in Niagara Falls, New York

This is very true. Brooklyn and Queens have the best pizza I've ever tried.

My go to is a large pie with extra cheese, garlic, and sausage, well done from Carmine's Pizza Factory in Jersey City, New Jersey.

i don't think i could ever pick a favourite style no less a single place. too many styles i love to pick just one. thin crust, true italian style, chicago style, nyc style.. shit even windsor has a style (pretty much nyc but with shredded pepperoni) I even like my little pita pizza's I do at home, fun kids idea by the way.

only kind i really don't like is hawaiian... can't put fruit on there, just not right.

:thumbsup:thumbsup

I bought a pizza stone and get dough from the italian market, boom. fresh pizza at home.

Mike Piazza is probably the best Piazza.

If in NYC, go to Patsy's Pizzeria in East Harlem NY 117th St. & 1st Ave. Be warned that the other Patsy's in Manhattan license the name and are not anywhere near as good.

3 brothers on seaside boardwalk...the slices are about 3x the size of a normal slice of pizza
