Actually, the hot pizza is used to keep the delicious box warm.

Ummmmm box!

[Brian328i]

I believe you're thinking of Papa Murphys, which does have excellent pizza.

Papa Johns has never been that good I think, I kind of preferred Pizza Hut, but I would rather ignore both and goto Montana's speciallity of MacKenzie River Pizza *mmmmmmmmmm*

The wort pizza is Little Ceaser's .

Are you saying they put St John's Wort on their pizzas?

[ASA Vet]

Why the hell would one ruin a pizza with meatballs?!

For the same reason some folks put on ham.
They're clueless as to what is pizza.

[MplsSteve]

I don't mind Domino's.

It's not gourmet pizza but it's still good.

Papa John's is pretty good too.

Godfather's...now that's good pizza.

[KevinDavis]

I disagree. Instead Pizza Pizza, they should call it Cardboard Cardboard.. Pizza Hut is bad, but not the worst.

Poppa John's is probably the best of the big delivery chains, IMHO. There are local shops that can beat it, but none of the nationals comes close.

[KevinDavis]

I prefer the local shops over the national.

[HamiltonJay]

Agreed CiCi's is bad, but hey all you can eat for $4.. what do you expect? The worst of any national chain that sells pizza is without any competition, in a class of crap all by itself... so far in the gutter NO ONE will ever be close to them is Chuck E Cheese.

[HamiltonJay]

Locals are a hit and miss... most local shops suck eggs, a few of em produce very high quaility and good product.

[KevinDavis]

We do have a couple here in the Chicago area..

If you get so drunk you pee down your own leg while eating Dominos pizza and tell the nice police officer it tastes great, you might be a redneck!

[billbears]

I wouldn't feed Domino's to my dog. Tastes like cardboard. Worse yet, can you imagine having to tell somebody you worked at Domino's after a commercial like that?

Went to their website and I see they're giving away a year of free pizza and the chance to meet Donald Trump. What kind of company tortures their possible customers with a contest like that? Bad pizza for a year and meet a guy with a combover? Might as well give 'em a store or a franchise so at least they could torture other less fortunate saps with bad pizza and get some satisfaction...

Now Godfather's Pizza used to be down here in NC, that was at least halfway decent pizza, although homemade is best.

Dominos pizza tastes marginally better than the box it comes in.

LOL! If it weren't for the sauce, they would be indistinguishable.

[Ex-Dem]

Papa John's is good right when it's gets delivered, but give it a few hours, and it's almost unpalatable because of the sogginess. Pizza Hut seems to last the longest. It's usually still edible a few days afterwards. Dominoes has by far the best buffalo wings. They're thoroughly cooked unlike Pizza Hut ones and are drenched in extra buffalo sauce, unlike those bone dry Papa John's ones.

It all depends on what part of the country you are in. The "Pizza Belt" runs roughly from Boston to DC, but the top places are in New Haven, CT, NYC and northern Jersey. (Bianco's in Phoenix has an excellent reputation, but I have not had it).

The Chicago stuffed is not pizza at all, but is actually a casserole. (For the record, I have lived in both Illinois and Connecticut and have worked in pizza joints in both.)

Are you saying they put St John's Wort on their pizzas?

See? Now that's the sort of creative pizza idea I was looking for from the numbnuts on the show. Meatball? Not very creative. One actually went out on a limb and suggested pepperoni.

Papa John's did a great job lampooning The Apprentice and their competitor.
