Me, too, but I still got 7/10. :blush:
I have those frozen Totinos pizzas that cost a buck on at least a weekly basis, so pretty well.
Edit- 10 of 10 on quiz :showoff:

I just order from these guys (http://moosestooth.net/)
10/10 Surprising, since only Pizza Hut & Domino's are present in Quebec & none have a franchise close enough to deliver at my home.
10/10. Never been to Cici's, but I knew it would probably be the worst-looking pizza in the quiz.

I like Papa John's Pizzas but every time I go there, I get the worst service possible. Last time, I got delivery and payed over the phone and after two hours the guy shows up to my door and tells me I need to pay again. I told him I already payed, and then he tried to call his manager, who also said I payed. I went over to a computer, and showed the guy the bank withdraw for that purchase. The pizza boy didn't know what to do at that point, so I helpfully suggested he get the fuck off my lawn. Eventually they came back and gave me the pizza for free and had the purchase taken off my debit card. Idiots. <_<
I didn't do too well, just 5/10, but several of the chains in the quiz are places I've never been to.

Needs more Cinnabon pizza.
I've never heard of most of these companies.
And Dominos and Pizza Hut crappy? :unsure:
Pizza Hut is quite a respectibly middling semi-restaurant, semi-fast food place and Dominos is rather up market for a takeaway.

It's not like there are well-known "upmarket" chains specializing in pizza.
Pizza Hut is definitely crappy. Dominos used to be just as bad, but they've improved remarkably in the last few years. They must have new management or something.
5/10. Not bad, considering we have no Cici's, Godfathers, or Little Caesars in Baltimore, I've never been to a Chuck E. Cheese's, and the last Sbarro I've seen was on the Pennsylvania Turnpike in 2010.

Fucking Chavs
Dominos and Papa Johns both suck. One supports pro-life bullshit, and the other uses too much sauce.*
*I don't know which is which, but it doesn't matter: both are deal breakers.
I don't think Papa Johns uses that much sauce.
Quote from: Peter Wiggin on October 25, 2012, 08:12:00 PM
I don't think Papa Johns uses that much sauce.
And if you think they do you can always request light sauce. I always request extra bake for mine since the crust can be a bit doughy otherwise.
My favorite pizza is at a local restaurant chain that's got about 4 locations now. They make a New York style with everything on thin crust that is to die for. Damn.
I don't know if it's a chain or not, but there's a Big Cheese pizza here; it's your typical "so-much-cheese-there-are-oil-slicks-on-top" kind. And that's the best kind of Day After pizza. :wub:
New York style pizza. :mmm: :wub: The only good thing we got from New York.

We've got a Philly-style pizza chain here now and it's typically the only place I go now. There's another place that does a good Midwestern-type pizza (overloaded with cheese, etc.) but I'm a big fan of the more authentic stuff.

Why would you ruin a Royburger with lettuce? :(
Why would you ruin your digestive track with a Royburger period, Skeezix?
I don't even want to know what kind of shit you put on your burgers anyway if you're omitting lettuce. Might as well suck on a hockey puck.

We already know you have poor taste.
The pizza was so crappy in my hometown that each successive wave of pizza chain that hit our area was a big improvement.
Pizza Hut was a huge treat when I was going up. Then we got Dominos, which was on about the same level but more reliable for delivery. And then Little Caesar's hit the scene with its "buy 1 get one free" gimmick and became the only pizza my dad would get for us. And just as I was starting college we got our first Papa John's, which is what my brothers & I would always order-- OMG THE CRUST BECOMES BREAD STICKS
My favorite for pickup/delivery these days is a regional chain called Donatos. By far the best place to go out for pizza around here is Dewey's http://www.deweyspizza.com
Seriously, what's the point of putting lettuce in a burger or a sandwich? You're just destroying the taste of meat and replacing it with not much of a taste at all.
Yeah, Pizza Hut was always cool when you were a little kid; the little candle lights at the table, the fireplace going in the middle of the restaurant in winter, and those cool tabletop versions of Ms. Pac Man and Donkey Kong in the waiting area.

Don't you have any independent pizza places? In this day and age, I can go on seamless.com, order a pie from one of the highly-rated mom-and-pop places, and have it delivered to me.

No, I didn't say you did. However, meat and lettuce together taste a lot like lettuce.
Maybe if you put the entire head of lettuce on it, you weirdo.

In my old hometown we did. But their pizza was beyond horrible.
But yeah, we have some decent independent places here. I consider Dewey's independent, despite them having multiple locations in Cincy as well as Dayton, Cleveland, Columbus, and St. Louis. We still go to the original location and nothing has changed there since it started.

I have one 2 minutes away from me. Their pizza is not bad at all, and it's brick oven pizza. If that was my only option, it would be perfectly acceptable. However, luckily for me, there are even better options in Jersey City.

It adds texture. And texture does not subtract from the taste of charred animal flesh.

It was always my payoff when I got dragged down to the IKEA in White Marsh. The bread alone was awesome. And the veggie pizza was to die for.
Hey spicy,Y'all get Cassano's down there in Cincy?
It isn't the best, but it beats that mass chain shit.
9/10 on the quiz because I didn't recognize the Sbarro pizza. Does Sbarro even exist outside of interstate rest stops? Because that's the only time I've come across them.

Or Times Square
Actually near one of the universities in Chicago, I encountered my first completely standalone one.

That was the first one I ever encountered-- back around 1990. We have a few in Cincy but their numbers are dwindling. The one downtown in the mall food court closed down like a year and a half ago, but eerily it still looks like it just shut down for the day.

Have you tried other leafy vegetables? (Rhetorical) The lack of flavor is lettuce's big selling point. :contract:
Lettuce has flavour.
And the point of putting lettuce on a burger, or a sandwich, is for than unique crispy textural element. For which you need nice, fresh lettuce.
So yeah - putting a single piece of limp iceburg lettuce isn't doing anything for your sandwich. But some good lettuce sure is adding something.

Romaine is better than iceberg, but in many cases iceberg is better than none at all.

I love lettuce. I eat salad as a complete meal several times a week. I just find it to be a distraction when it's in a sandwich. For example, I love steak, and I love sweets, but I don't put sugar on a steak.
Need help with the tossing?
