The only reason anyone gets Chuck E. Cheese Pizza is because they are trapped there at a birthday party or som eother obnoxious event with their kids. If we ever have to go there I usually try to dull the experience with a couple beers - that always helps.

Been to Chicago, tried several of the so called "great local places"... found them to generally be crap.. If I wanted crackers topped with pasta sauce maybe I would have liked it.. but it was bad.

New York does have some good Pizzarias.

Pizza King (Sir Pizza to most of you non-Hoosiers) is 10 times better than Papa John's, though. ;)

Only if none of the pizza taste has transfered to the box. If that happens, it makes the box as bad as the pizza.

Nothing is as bad as the world famous St. Louis Pizza. A matzo cracker with cheese whiz over the top, nasty!

Of course that's why, but for as much as they charge for it, it should at least resemble Pizza.

For the record, this thread is indicative of the problem in manufacturing pizza. It is difficule to achieve consistant quality control when there are so many variables, the most important of which are the age, iq and attirude of the preparer.

Having rejected Dominoes, and Little Caesers and living beyond the reach of Papa John's I order Pizza Hut Delivery. The quality though unacceptably inconsistant for most consumer products still averages out best.

Why ham and not peppiromi or sausage someone asked? Age and digestive difficulties.

I had my usual Wednesday...thin and crispy with ham and pineapple. The topping was not uniformly appiled and appeared to have been thrown on while the pizza was spinning. The most of the toppings were pilled up around the raised perimeter edge. I'm sure the kid involved was mentally involved somewhere else to have accomplished the task in such an unusual manner.

The loss of the Big New Yorker was a blow but I am adapting.

Bad pizza for a year and meet a guy with a combover?

Are you referring to the hair on top of his head, or his eyebrows?

BTW - Papa John's pizza is 10 times better that dominoes.

In the same way as a dime is ten times better than a penny.

Oh my God, you can't be serious. Little Ceasars doesn't even qualify as food let alone real pizza.

The words you never ever want to hear your kids say, "I want to go to Chuck E Cheese's" When I hear my three-year-old say that, I just cringe.

You must go to Sally's in New Haven on the famous Wooster Street. If they aren't open (artists are funny that way...) try Modern Apizza on State Street. A shame that all that great apizza is largely wasted on Yalies. Sally's review

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

Pineapple and bacon?
4 cheeses and pesto?
Mozerella, tomatoes and herbs?
Peperoni and anchovies?
Sauce but no cheese? (blech)

Hey, if you like it, then it's all good.
Me, I like the basics - tomato sauce, cheese,pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms - but I have had a really good pizza that had a pesto-based sauce and a variety of cheeses.

I never tried Papa John's, but Dominos pizza tastes marginally better than the box it comes in.

I've tried 'em all...now I just make my own...much cheaper.....my choices of many toppings....it's cheaper and no tips!

Both actually. Basically anybody that refuses to get old and does anything and everything to appear as they're not. Can't abide people with the toupees, fake tans, excessive facelifts, etc. They just look out of place. That doesn't apply to staying in shape because that's good for your health as well.

Heck I lost the hair on the top of my head and I don't care. Not going to run out and get a toupee to look 'younger' or grow one side of what's left of my hair longer to comb it over.

It is awful. We have said no every year when my daughter (7 years old) says she wants to have her birthday there.

My kids have gone for parties - but I will not have a party there. The place is a germ factory and a rip off! YUCK!
