Papa John's has gone so far downhill it's not even funny
Pizza Hut is slop but it's a guilty pleasure every now and then, like once a year at a party
Marco's is alright if you stick to regular toppings, not my favorite but still better than Papa's
Little Caesar's is Little Caesar's. It's $5 when fucking frozen boxed pizzas are pushing $9+, it doesn't need to be gourmet.

Domino's has actually gotten better in the past few years though their sides are still garbage. I'd still pick them over the other 4, maybe the extra market share will score them a breadstick recipe that isn't hot garbage.

I rarely go to pizza hut, especially after they canceled their in-house buffet which was cool. I go there about twice a year because I respect the fact they allow you to sit down inside like a real restaurant.

Marco's is on the other side of my city, I've heard their pizza is good but I've never tried it.

Haven't had Papa Johns in a decade. Will have to try it again on a discount just to see what it tastes like now.

I have a way to get cheap discount pizza from Domino's and it's near me but I don't really care for it.

So I guess I would pick Little Ceasers due to taste, price, convenience, and they don't complain if I ask for extra sauce when they already have 5 pizzas waiting hot.

I deliver for apps and I've seen some local places charge $25 for a large pizza, that's just the base price before delivery fees. Sorry but I think shit like that is a rip off. It's every time i'm sent there too, outrageous pricing is enough to scare me away.

wwwaaait a minute anon, are you buying cooked to order pizzas or the Hot 'n Ready™ shits? neither is good, but they are definitely not the same and Hot 'n Ready™ is pure poison.

At 35 years of age I have never had any problems with acid reflux my entire life; not with pizza, salami sandwiches, buffalo wings, cock OR pussy; but the only two times I had debilitating acid reflux like 6 years apart, was the only two times I ate a Little Cæsar's Hot 'n Ready pizza.
