Hey Jim, I understand your conundrum with pizza law, but here is my pizza law.

Chain franchises who make and sell pizza really suck. Particularly Dominoes, Papa John's, Little Caesar's, and Cisi's.

CiCi’s is crap on a crust!

Personally, I prefer local Mom & Pop owned pizza parlors...................

LOL so true. If it rolls through an oven on a conveyor belt then it’s not a a real pizza.

If you order chain pizza with “very light sauce” you’ll be amazed at how much better it tastes. They use terrible sauce. The rest isn’t bad, especially for the price (2 pizzas for $12 or whatever).

You somehow forgot Pizza Hut.

I grew up in Connecticut, where (a)pizza is taken VERY seriously. That said, there is a place for the Domino's and Little Caesars of this world.

Years ago, Tom Monaghan said he wasn't in the pizza business, but in the pizza delivery business. Little Caesar's can feed a small family for $5 and change when the ma and pa place that makes a good pie would charge triple. I have been in cities where Pizza Hut made a better pizza than the awful cardboard producing local operations. In some cases, people travelling don't want to take chances and will take fast, clean and mediocre.

Even bad pizza can be pretty good. There are also some premium chains that still aren't as good as superior ma-and-pa outlets, but at least use high quality ingredients.

You have freedom to choose where you get your pizza, but that’s not what this article is all about.
