Pizza: Neighborhood Pizzaria, Or National Chain?

Lord knows, there are enough national pizza chains to choke a whore, but a lot of the choking results from the blandness of the pizza. I will take a quality local pizzaria, where they take pride in their neighborhood as well as in their pie. I mean, Dominos, it’s prima facie cool that you can “drop a pin” for your pie delivery, but do not ask me to believe that delivery will show up any better than my Lyft driver who winds up “sorta” in the vicinity but still cannot read a fucking street sign. “Yeah, but, hey, man—THE PIN…” And your pizza still tastes like a troll’s ass.

Local for me, the whole way. Hand-tossed, hand-made, brick-fired, made with pride and ZERO gimmicks.

I’ve known for a long time that everyone in the Insurance business is going to hell when s/he dies. I’m thinking that fast-food execs are not too far behind.

Protip: don't just look for "pizza" places; some of the best pizzas I've had came from Italian restaurants whose menus included pizza. And just one time try pesto on one instead of red sauce. Might just change your life.

Oh yes...I wrote on another thread that the best pizza in Downtown Reno is from a restaurant (Liberty Food & Wine Exchange).

Yes, and blanco pizza too. Do not content yourself with the mediocre crap that others order. Food is a form of love, it really is. Never stop loving yourself.

Which includes ordering REAL Cesar salad and Lambrusco wine on the side!

If I'm the mood for a chain, I'll get something from a pizza chain. Local places really depend. If I'm on the east coast, then yeah I'm going local, if I'm in the middle of nowhere Georgia, then I'll probably just stick to a chain.

I'm not within delivery range of most places, so ordering pizza always involves pickup. Mostly I'll order from a smattering of local establishments, but if it's a low traffic time of day I'll order a pepperoni pie from Costco and throw on some additional toppings.

I dont know how Dominoes get any business in the UK at those prices.

Clever marketing i guess, a dazzling array of discounts and vouchers

I enjoy both.. We have Rich & Charlies Italian Restaurant around the corner that makes a pretty good pie and then we have St. Louis's original in IMOS Pizza which I order from every Friday night on my way to work.. I order a Large Pepperoni & Canadian Bacon

I can't imagine anyone over the age of 10 would pick chain pizza

Definitely local, although there's still varying degrees of good and bad when it comes to local shops too. Pizza Hut used to be good, but the quality went down and with it went the actual chain, so you won't find many Pizza Huts around anymore.
