At this point, Papa John's and Jet's
Why? Let's break down each element of pizza.
>Crust
Papa John's has a bready crust that's good for dipping. Jet's has a crispy crust with tasty corners.
>Sauce
Robust tomato flavor with just the right amount of zing and sweetness.
>Cheese
Papa John's has the best cheese, it's delicious without being too salty. Jet's cheese is quality.
>Toppings
Tasty meats, fresh veggies, Jet's has canned mushrooms but sometimes you want that.

A good pizza from either place is sometimes worth ordering from a chain instead of local. Both places really shine when you order the deluxe or BBQ chicken pizzas. I will say that sometimes the single topping pepperoni pizzas are not great, but when they are they're exceptional.

The other places:
>Domino's
They're doing better but it still tastes like pizza someone already barfed back up
>Pizza Hut
Used to be amazing in the 90s. Still pretty good if you go sit down and eat in the restaurant, but ordering carryout is a waste of money.
>Little Caesar's
Magical for about 5 seconds before it cools off. Practically inedible as leftovers.
>Hungry Howie's
Bland. Very bland. Crust tastes like swimming pool water without any flavorings.
>Marco's
Like Hungry Howie's with flavor. Extra sauce is a must. Not bad but there are better places.
>Papa Murphy's
Good, sometimes very good. Doesn't satisfy that "pizza night" craving though. Best eaten on a Wednesday night or something.
>Toppers
Like Little Caesars but super expensive and even worse.
>Sbarro
There's probably an A&W or Charleys Philly Steaks right next to it but go ahead and spend that much money on cafeteria pizza.
>MOD Pizza
Homemade pizza for quadruple the price. Really weird hippy toppings but you can get your pizza drizzled with that spicy honey sauce.
>Chuck E Cheese
Surprisingly not bad. Better than carryout Pizza Hut.
>Pizza Ranch
Good stuff. Never met anyone who could go to Pizza Ranch without leaving uncomfortably full. Good chicken.
