I've lived in small towns and big cities on both coasts and I've traveled all over the country. I can't name a single place where the best pizza option available is Papa Johns, Dominoes, Pizza Hut, etc.
Why does anyone eat this garbage when actual good pizza is available just about anywhere you could possibly be?
Are you insane? You can't beat the dominos deals from a $ perspective.
My wife likes high end pizza but up until about 5 years ago, I would always order the dominos medium deal. I forgot what the price was , but it was insane. It looks like now it's two mediumas for $13.98. So 1 pizza for $20 or two for $14. Which do you want?
Do you think your high end pizza is actually better for you? Please tell me how 'high-end' is way better nutritional than the 'garbage'? Same ingredients, right?
Rojo, that just isn't the case in terms of ingredients. It may seem that way, but to suggest that the chain places are the same...might want to think twice. Getting two pizzas to you at a price that is less than a "homemade" style pizza from a mom and pop store...where do you think corners will be cut or money is saved.
Labor (there is also no serving staff to pay at these places). Also, typically dumb labor (cheap)
Scale of production (lots of pizzas sold).
Ingredients, uhh yeah this is a big one. Not only do they give you "fake" and substandard ingredients, they also give you less.
In this video, I am going to break down every ingredient in each food at McDonald's...Avoid fast food garbage and eat real foods. This is why I created Linea...
Even local chains can usually have better quality than the national chains and compete decently on price even if they aren't bottom of the barrel like PH, PJ, LC, or Dominos. I love pizza but eat it so seldom anymore than I make a point to go for higher quality pizza when I do. And yeah, the dough, sauce, and cheese will invariably have better nutritional value when it isn't loaded with cheap filler, oils, and by-products.
Same reason people eat McDonald's, while not the best option, they know the name and it's an easy choice to pick when too lazy to think of another option
They know exactly what they are getting and its readily available. And cheap and to be fair, decent value.
Same with dominos. I can get 4 or 5 pizzas for like $30. Yes, the fancy and much better local pizza place is an option (that I take at times) but 1 pizza is $23.
But you are eating absolute garbage though, what is more important than your body? If you had a ferrari would you put the cheapest gas you could find in it?
It's just bread, tomato sauce and cheese. Hard to eff it up.
Lol. I remember when I was young some of us Italian kids were talking about pasta sauce and some American kid goes- what's so hard about it? My mom just puts water in ketchup.
You poor soul- you have to get somewhere where you can taste real Italian food.

Stupid post from top to bottom. Congrats.
Rojo, didn't you live in Ithaca?Were you at Cornell?
Joes downtown was good. You lived an hour from Endicott and Binghamton where they have a countless number of locally owned by Italian immigrants restaurants and pizza places.
My son used to say- you can eat Dominos but just don't think of it as pizza. lol

This.
I live in a great food city, am as big a foodie as anyone, have eaten in Michelin 1/2/3-star restaurants all over the world, blah blah blah.
AND if I am passing through some some mid-sized city and want delivery, I would go for reliably-mediocre Domino's over a potentially-horrible local place every single time.
I think that it is mostly a financial decision. When I was younger, I would deliver pizza and worked at a few different restaurants. Domino's and Papa John's customers tend to be lower income compared to the fancier, locally owned place that I worked at. At the locally owned pizza shop, I averaged about twice as much in tips/delivery because the customers were so wealthy that tossing me $5 on a $20 order was chump change for the wealthy customers.
Often those smaller pizzas are a drag like quirky ales. Sometimes I don't want to sniff yeast, subject my mouth to complex chewing and flavors. Think about whether what I'm eating has overtones and tastes like something else. Wonder if the owner is in a bad mood or the deviant employee is working that night. I just want a pizza and a beer and to get on with my life. I don't want to trek over to someone's pizza den.

Price price price
Worst pizza is the 3 most popular. Little Caesars, dominos.....terrible.
Worst hamburger is the most popular
And who has the worst deli? Subway....most popular.
I'll never get it. Just price and convenience I suppose.
Actually, pizza is probably one of the best "fast foods" you can eat. Cheese, bread and tomato sauce. Nothing fried there. I've lived in NYC for 35 years, and Pizza Palace (aka Dykeman Pizza) on Dykeman St. in the Inwood section of Manhattan makes the best pizza I have ever had, and I've eaten some pretty great pizza in NYC.
If you're singing the praises of Dominos or Pizza Hut, I fear for your souls. But I imagine you are the same kind who visit NYC and go to Olive Garden because it's a good deal. But I guess you can blame it on your kids. So typical of Americans, "I can get 2 pizzas for the price of one from a local, independent place. And we wonder why 40% of the population is obese? SMH and LMAO! JHC!
