Franchise pizza sucks, local pizza is the best - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

GARFIELDKOOL · 07-16-2006, 10:52 AM

I don't like anything about Dominoes, Pizza Hut, or Pappa John's. They don't give you a lot for what they charge, and the pizza is terrible anyway. Pizza Hut is probably the WORST out of the franchises. They got crappy wings, too.

On the local front, we got tons of local places that will blow the franchises away. Two of them that come to mind are Salvatore's and Amico's. Salvatores is a local 10 chain pizzeria. You can get a 32 slice of pizza (with your choice of toppings) with 30 wings for just under 30 dollars. You haven't had pizza until you have had Salvatores. And Amicos have nearly the same deal. But they got killer wings. You can get a 50 piece wing for 18 bucks!

The problem I have with franchise pizza(other than it is nasty) is that when you order an extra large pizza, you actually get a medium. Anyway, if you want pizza, go to your local joint, because the franchises are wack!

I agree totally! I rarely, if ever, go to franchises. Especially Dominoes...

I agree, besides, New York has the best pizza in the world anyway. No need for Pizza Hut or anything else like that.

Actually, Pizza Hut pizza tastes different everywhere. The Pizza Hut in Oregon is VERY VERY VERY VERY different from the Pizza Hut here in New York.

But local pizza is better.

I totally agree. Local pizza ecspecially around Chicago is the best. Franchises like Pizza Hut, Papa John's and the rest suck!

Local pizza is NOT always better. Well, usually, but not always. Here in Albany (the small town I'm from), we've got a local place (used to have 2 - 1 closed), and the pizza is awful (Breadsticks are wonderful though). Pizza Hut is miles better compared to it.

One of my best friends parents run thier own pizza shop, and they get more business then the Mr. Jims which is just diwn the street, my friends place has much better pizza anyway

Mr. Television · 07-16-2006, 04:14 PM

Most of the time, local pizza is the best. Because you got people who take their time to do their own recipes, unlike these franchises that have the "corporate" way of doing things.

Oh, I agree with you - under most circumstances the local stuff is better. I'm just pointing out that's not always the case.

I may be a weirdo or something, but I think I prefer the taste of franchise pizza better (although I wouldn't deny a slice of La Casa pizza if it was in my face).

The local pizza place by work is VERY good but it's way too expensive.

With the exception of a few local chains like East of Chicago Pizza Company, La Rosa's, and Cassano's, I agree. I mean, what's the attraction with eating at a pizza place that has a presence in all fifty states?
