Flitterkill March 7, 2010 Share Flitterkill GC Board Member March 7, 2010 1) Crust Before: Cardboard Now: Lighter, chewier, edges dusted with breadstick cheese/spices Cold the day after: Identical to fresh, just room temperature 2) Sauce Before: Too sweet and bland Now: Nowhere near as sweet. Not much of it though. Cold the day after: Identical to fresh, just room temperature. Toppings still the meager standard pizza franchise amount. Much better than before, a step up from Little Caesars, though for $2 more per on average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueless March 7, 2010 Share Clueless GC Alumni March 7, 2010 Yeah, we tried it too, and it was much better than before, but then again, that isn't saying much. Kinda tasted like they just threw a bunch of spices at it to mask the lack of flavor. Good attempt, but still pretty obvious that you are eating fast food franchise pizza.

ValenAlvern March 10, 2010 Share ValenAlvern Member March 10, 2010 Now, its Cardboard made from recycled sugar, is it really a step up? =P, personally Little Cesars(sp?) is the best pizza palor around, they're the "Party Pizza Place" since its dirt cheap. 2 Large for 12$ or something where I am. Pizza Hut > Papa Johns > Papa Murphy's > Little Cesers(sp?) > Local/Generic Pizza parlors > Dominos. Best to Worst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although maybe your compass is just a little off (Pizza Hut is the best around?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flitterkill March 10, 2010 Author Share Flitterkill GC Board Member March 10, 2010 Well, local pizza can suck too (trust me, I live in Harrisonburg. There is a reason my one and only post about pizza has involved the names LC and D's...) Val, LC still beats Domino's on price but if you haven't at least tried the new D's yet, you should. The crust easily beats LC now. The Hut is substantial but awfully greasy. The best pizza is the ones you roll your self. Deep and thin can be accomplished rather well in an oven. Very Thr nite I'm on the hook for producing one or the other. Real ex-virgin olive oil, real fresh basil, etc. Makes a difference. NOTE: Bloomington, IN: Aver's Pizza. Esp their specialty ones. All win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All win. All Mian Pizza Chains (Excluding LC since I dont count it as one) sell 1 Large One Topping for 10$, LC is 2 Large One Topping for 12$, though could be the one near me. Pizza Hut near me, doesnt making it greasy, it's less greasy then Papa John's. Yea, I know homemade pizza is the best, I make my own too. EDIT: Though I think only prices would vary, eventhough you have different people, I felt little change from getting Pizza in MN, to getting Pizza in AZ.

Ringadon March 10, 2010 Share Ringadon Member March 10, 2010 Dominoes is indeed much better now... but Cheezie's Pizza is right down the street and far and away better for half the cost. Ring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler March 11, 2010 Share boiler Member March 11, 2010 (edited) Domino's new pizza = big win for me. Major improvements, and definitely beats Papa John's and Pizza Hut in my book. If I could have any pizza from anywhere though? Definitely Gino's East off of Michigan Ave in Chicago. Haven't had it for nearly three years at my bachelor party and am going through withdrawal...

YoMamma March 11, 2010 Share YoMamma Member March 11, 2010 If I could have any pizza from anywhere though? Definitely Gino's East off of Michigan Ave in Chicago. <3 Gino's East is only 1 of many great places to get pizza around Chicago. My other favorites include Giordano's, Lou Malnati's, & Nancy's.

anonymo March 11, 2010 Share anonymo Member March 11, 2010 If anyone's in the Toronto area: Amato's > Momma's > Most mom/pop pizza parlors > Pizza Nova > Pizza Pizza > American Chains Best pizza I've ever had has been in Chicago/NY/Montreal, for the record.

Unclean March 12, 2010 Share Unclean Member March 12, 2010 Ginos East rules. Dominos and Papa John's is about the same - slightly below average. Pizza hut is like grease-soaked carboard. I think we have it good here in Chicago though. I didn't know how good until we started checking pizza joints on vacations. I think the worst was California. The pizza was so far from good, it was like if aliens intercepted a tv commercial for pizza and tried to make it without ever tasting it. "Let's put avocado and cucumber on it and remove the cheese!" What? And for the best of the best around here: Ginos East Lou Malanati's Little Italian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
