    So much for the What and the Why. As for the How, we determined which

    Why isn't Hungry Howies on this list? It's worse than even Pizza Hut!


    I've not heard of it. Is it a regional restaurant? The list seems
    to be of national chains, which might explain it.

    Pizza Hut was the chain with the least amount of flavor and
    creativity.

    They used to be great, back in the day.


    But 1988 is a long time ago.

    Little Caesars had fairly tasty toppings, nice sauces, and a
    delicious blend of mozzarella and Muenster cheese that they used on
    everything. In fact, if I had to choose one cheese from any fast-food
    pizza chain, it would be this one.

    Havn't had a Little Caesars pizza since the 1980's when they were 2-4-1.


    Pizza-Pizza :)
    Little Caesars kept us college kids fed in the late 80's and
    early 90's. They were filling and the entire group could eat for very
    little money.
    Thinking back, I recall the toppings being a bit lacking. But not
    bad for the price.

    If you're trying to build an overall pizza buffet for a lot of people,
    go for Domino's because it has the most options.

    If I had to sum this chain up in a single sentence, I would say that
    Papa Johns pizzas are pretty good but not great.

    I disagree. Papa John's pizzas have a nasty texture crust. I think they use >> extra gluttonous dough or something that m akes it too chewey for my liking.

    The bottom used to have, and maybe still does, a gritty corn meal
    type coating. I didn't hate it, but PJ's was never my first choice in
    Pizza. Mostly due to the bottom of the crust.
    Toppings were always good, as I recall.

    Papa John's is as bad as Little Caesars, but it's nowhere near as cheap. Therefore, it's the worst. I don't buy Domino's or Pizza Hut because for
    a little more, I can get the local pizza. It's this place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOAYD03ZKIE
    That is NOT the icky St. Louis Style pizza. It's pretty darned good, and
    their sausage is excellent.

    The best bargain pizza is LC's Extramostbestest Sausage for $8.49.

    I don't actually know what either costs at this time.

    That is one GIANT pizza. I might be able to down two slices. But
    I would be hard pressed to eat any more within the time limit. That he
    ate it all, alone, in just over 15 minutes is impressive.

    For me, the BEST pizza is from Godfather's Pizza. Sadly, it's net
    carb content is far too high for me. Fortunately, for me, there isn't
    one anywhere near me now.
    We once had a vacation home in Fort Smith, AR. There were, and
    maybe still are, two Godfather's Pizzas in Fort Smith. The noms were
    legendary.
