PH and Dominos didn't do anything for me , better with Papa Johns (at least afa pepperoni pizza is concerned)

*shuriken* · 08-27-2014, 12:47 AM

^^Papa John's is pretty great. I only eat Dominoes because it's closer.

We used to have a Hardee's around here, but then it turned into a Fazoli's. I miss it so much because Mom and I would usually eat there when we went grocery shopping. Though I have to admit, Fazoli's is pretty good, too.

No surprise. One location in my town just closed recently.

I know this is old but I had to vouch. I'm from the east coast. I'm from Richmond and we do have Sonic's, DQ, and WaWa. I used to go to the one near my old job so much, they knew which smoothie I wanted before I would order it. I love WaWa for the convenience. I miss when they used to do salads the way they did their sub/hoagies. You picked what you wanted in it.

Back home. The closest WaWa to me is about a 10-15 min drive. Sonics, about a 20 min drive. DQ, I think maybe about 15.

I went to a dine-in Pizza Hut twice this past summer and I'll have to say, despite not being the best pizza, I consider it satisfactory for the $8 buffet price. It reminds me of my dining hall in college where it was a buffet, and often I would have to wait a couple minutes for new pizza to arrive. There is a sit-down Pizza Hut just 10 minutes from home. Unfortunately, another nearby one that is delivery only carries a 2.3/5 review from Google, mostly due to poor customer service. I always view Pizza Hut as the "dine-in" pizza place, and I had fond memories as a kid growing up; some joints even had a jukebox in them! That said, I only recommend Pizza Hut for a lunchtime buffet (provided it tastes good enough) or if there are no other chains nearby.

I'm also surprised Little Caesar's is still around; I don't think I've ever eaten there.

Little Caesar's is probably the worst pizza I ever had. Back in the day, my Dad had some kind of fixation on it because they were the first pizza chain to do $5 specials, so we'd have to go like 15 minutes away to get a couple $5 pies, when we literally had the best pizza place in NJ, DiBrizzi's, about 100 yards away from us. My parents kind of had that thing where they'd buy stuff because it was on sale or "a deal", regardless of whether it made any sense. So anyways, we gave it a shot, and he insisted it was fine but for me it was like, barely a step up from the stuff in your supermarket freezer case. And small! As a general rule, I prefer pizzas to be larger than the average steering wheel and too thick to slide under a door. Little Caesar's pizzas were F'n small.

The only one around here was actually inside a K-Mart (technically a "Big K-Mart" as some of the larger ones were branded at the time), so that gives you an idea of the quality. I've had pizza from a thousand joints and I still swear Little Caesar's is the worst I've had. I'm actually amazed they're still around at all. Maybe they got better, I'unno.

*BubblyShell22* · 09-10-2014, 03:33 PM

I love Little Caesar's, especially their crazy bread. Mom and I just got the pretzel crust pizza yesterday, and it was awesome. Just had the leftovers earlier, and I loved it. I hope they keep that around.

Thread should be renamed Rip Pizza Hut.

When I was a kid, maybe back in the early 90s Little Caesars wasn't so bad. They also had variety as opposed to now where the only types they offer is cheese or pepperoni (and if I'm wrong, please feel free to correct me). I used to like it back then. There were plenty of pizza topping choices. Can't recall the price, but maybe it was about $5.00 but because of the actual time, not like how it is now with that "Hot and Ready" mess. Sounds pornographic.

Now...I don't like it much due to lack of variety, and I don't recall the taste, but the I liked the wings at one point and I think the crazy bread.

*BubblyShell22* · 10-01-2014, 09:01 AM

I think the Hot and Ready pizzas are only cheese and pepperoni, but I think you can still get other pizzas. I do think they need to add more variety to the Hot and Ready pizzas and not just two flavors or whatever.

kolaida · 10-04-2014, 10:29 AM

There's a Pizza Hut just down the street from me. I've been there a few times, but I prefer zPizza, Donatos, or Pies and Pints. There's also a ton of smaller pizza shops around here that I can get good pizza at. I haven't eaten at Little Caesar's or Papa John's in years even though they are both just up the street from me across from each other.

Also, there's a DQ up the street from me and another one I drive past daily to and from work. And there's a Sonic by the Kohl's I shop at. Now, Wawa, I don't know. I haven't seen it around.

I have a lot of fun memories of Pizza Hut as a child. And Sicily's, too. I kinda want pizza now.
