I get headaches from Sonic among others.

I agree frozen pizza from the market doctored up a bit are way better

"Someone beats me to it every time!"

That's usually the same thing I'm saying!

For those of us who don't have one of the following pizza joints in their state (or at least not near them), maybe this company should look into long-range, cross-country drones to deliver their product.     :-)

Great deal. Except our locality increases the price. They try to keep it poetic. $5.55

Little Caesar’s always been P/U. At least that I recall. Definitely in its latest incarnation, last 15 years or so. But unlike others, it has a drive-thru.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Doomed to fail.

Perhaps that is because they had no competition and could get real big.

But then, I think you are missing many chains...mostly bonafide restaurants.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Better than, for many things.

I’d include a local chocolatier, myself. And crabs.

round table is the best chain pizza. imho.

But then, I think you are missing many chains...mostly bonafide restaurants.

I have tried some of the upscale pizza chains (Cerrones, Woodfire Pizza, Uno) and found them to be wanting. In the northeast, ANY serious restaurant becoming a chain of more than two or so looks like a sell-out. In the midwest it is considered a sign of success and to be expected. Also, the pizza parlours in the northeast sell mostly ... pizza.

In the midwest, people go to Giordano's, Uno's, Gino's East, Connie's, even Home Run Inn, and expect to get a salad or other side dish. At a place like Sally's, they cannot waste precious seating space on someone having something that isn't their best. Some of the low volume (the old Angelo's) or more formal places (Lido's of Meriden) will have other Italian dishes (e.g. Lasagna, Antipasto), but in the end, nearly everyone is having great pizza.

Dominos special is usually $6.99, medium 2 topping.

Red Baron cooked a stone is better than LC

[doosee]

Dominoes I had a couple of month ago was awful and inedible. It was the Asagio cheese (that I didn’t order] that ruined it.

I think there are alternate cheese selections. I usually order double cheese but just my preference. I see Freepers are into pizza. Even for breakfast I am sure.

A few years ago, we moved from Michigan (Home of Little Caesars) to Maryland. There were less than ten Little Caesars in the state. Proximity to one was on my wish list when house shopping. Kids loved it.

I found a house 1/2 mile away from a franchise. When we closed, our realtor gave my kids a $100 gift card. Friend for life.

[the OlLine Rebel]

You don’t know the whole story. We had more LC back in the ‘90s, then they retreated from here. Now they are coming back, though it is different. Back when, they would put 2 pizzas as a deal on a simple cardboard channel covered with paper sleeve. And they had serious crazy bread. Now just a standard pizza box...which is more stable!

[the OlLine Rebel]

Eh. I’m not that picky about pizza. My main thing is don’t have pieces of tomatoe. I hate tomatoe texture and visual. I like it pulverized so I don’t know. So usually, “authentic” and homemade is anethema to me!

[Dr. Sivana]

You'd have no problem with Connecticut or New York style; fresh, but pulverized.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Yeah, there’s no reason homemade can’t be pulverized, but most people don’t view it that way!

[the OlLine Rebel]

Funny, I lived in CT ‘95-6 and found LC again, after it had left my MD. Never had indie pizza there. SE CT. Which at the time had lousy regular restaurants, but great high-end places.

[cyclotic]

I remember. pizza Pizza. Buy two for price of one. Mike Illitch, the founder revolutionized carry out pizza business several times.

[Dr. Sivana]

Never had indie pizza there. SE CT.

Southeast is the wrong spot, New Haven is the epicenter. Oddly, someone finally made a movie about pizza, and it was in southeast CT (Mystic Pizza). I went to the pizza place it was supposedly based on. Pedestrian stuff.
