It’s not technology, it’s people not caring that the box tastes better than the chain pizza in it. A good independent pizza place runs rings around Dominos et al.

Yep, seems like people have been getting more used to crappy food over the last 10 years.
What passes for food at cheap chains nowadays is scary (dominos, papas, fridays, chilis). I went very rarely and the quality was worse each time so I stopped completely.
I believe it is mainly due to the decline of home cooking. A huge number of people out there have never tasted a meal made from proper ingredients.
There is a pizza place every ten feet in metro NY. They seem to have cut their own throats with their willingness to dumb down the recipie and process to make more money or just stay afloat. A few places have tried to maintain standards but most pizza is so bland now that I don’t even bother anymore. If I do buy a pizza I order a type that didn’t exist in 1963 and for which I have no expectations. But most Sicilian and Neopolitan just stink.
Thank you sir! As someone who may be the biggest pizza snob / pizza nerd on Free Republic, I heartily concur with your analysis.
