This is a hard one, be cause in different cities in my fair state, some of the chains are different. For example, there is a Dominoes on the coast that literally blows me a way every time I go there. Where in the mountains, there is a Pizzas Hut that is by far the best. My official vote goes to Pappa John's, but my wife never lets me go there.

Smaller chain vote goes to Burke Street pizza. If you guys are ever in the Triad, you have to try it. Nod given to Oregano's that has locations around Phoenix and Denver. I lived in Phoenix for a hot minute.

The Domino's and Little Cesar's everywhere else must be very different from here. LC serves a very unremarkable but edible pizza for $5 and the Extra Most Bestest kicks it up to "hey that's not bad" got another dollar.

I wouldn't order from the Domino's here if it was free every time. My stepmom watched the kids for us one time and refused to order LC. She's the kind of person with a refined palette. Won't eat poor people food. So she ordered Domino's for dinner while we were out. As soon as my wife and I got home her first words were "for three times the price as Little Cesar's, why is Domino's so awful?"

Little Cesar's isn't ever going satisfy a craving for me when I'm really feeling a pizza, but to knock out a dinner with zero effort and feed a decent sized family for $12 it's good enough.
 
Pizza Hut used to serve a good pizza. But the last time I ordered one, the cheese was like plastic. I do love their sausage though, mainly because it has fennel in it. I have learned that over the years different brands change. What was good one year sucks the next. I worked at a "Happy Joes". And we had some damn good pizza's. Mainly because everything was fresh. And that is what really counts. If you put fresh ingredients on a pizza, it will always be good. Barring crappy sauce. I order at times from Dominoes, Little Ceasers, and Papa Johns. But if my wife is home, it's the local shops that we get from.

Round Table is one of my favorite pizzas of any not just chain pizza companies. They're so consistent just a great pizza. Back in the day Shakey's was a similar SoCal type pie (not as good) but there aren't too many of them now.

Here in Missouri the best chain is probably Imo's but it's very marginal. In fact I was depressed about pizza out here (lived in Vegas prior so what can I say it's culinary dropoff :ROFLMAO:) until I found the Missouri Pizza Company in St James and holy shit is that good pizza.

Btw for those of you who live in driving range from St James that owner has no fridges he makes everything fresh the day of and when he's out he's out. It's a brick oven pie with leopard spotted crust just the way I likey.
 
Marcos sends coupons for specialty pepperoni, All the time. I'll order 1 or 2 a year.

I'll eat a slice of papa johns, but not ordering it. The rest blah or don't know and that's almost half.

Diabetic so I stay away from it.

Surprised it's not mentioned, Mellow Mushrooms nice place .to go to for a group with different type of diets and is has mostly a sit down.

Bunch of Vegan ,Glutton free ,Quality stuff, and while not very costly, not cheap by any rate it's easy to run Up A Bill.

Most large 16'pies 25 bucks,plus they serve all kinds of beer and drinks.

They all are independently owned, so I would check reviews,menu before going to 1 you don't know.

Cheers to the Shakeys Pizza reference. I havent had Shakeys since the early 80’s

From the list provided, Round Table Pizza is by far the clear choice for me. Thier zesty sauce cannot be beat and thier meat marvel includes Salami and Linguica instead of ham and frown beef. Easily the best pest pizza ever and whenever I visit back home, I make sure one night is Round Table night.

Marcos Pizza has taken over the major chains here as a local favorite. Whenever I order pizza for my guys at work, thats the pizza they request. They are a little more expensive, but the taste is worth the price.
 
Dominos really was suck but I now am good with their thin crust pie.

Pizza Hut still taste good but the grease and calories destroys me.

I like a place called MOD. It’s a chain that’s now out here in north Texas. It’s a walk in and pick your toppings as you go in sort of a subway style setup. For 7.99 you get an 11 inch pizza and literally pick as many toppings as you want. It’s all fresh and thrown in the oven after you pick your toppings from behind the glass. They will load up however much you want and have every imaginable topping. I get loads of meat and vegetables on a cauliflower crust and call it a heathy meal.
 
There's only one chain pizza place that we sometimes use here in Central FL.

Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza.

MOD is OK. Like the first couple times I had it I thought it was amazing. The more I had it though, the more average it got. Something missing though. Whenever I go I get the spicy sauce to add a little more flavor to it.

I think Blaze is better, but that's just me.
 
Well, my favorite pizza from a chain isn't a pizza place. It's Carraba's. Their brick oven pizza reminds me of the Pizza's we got in France when I was there. Love that taste. Unfortunately, they are the only ones in my area using brick ovens.
 
One pizza chain that went of business in Northern California, was a chain called Rico's Pizza....They were a favorite of sports teams for after game meals. Their specialty was an extra large pizza 36 inches in diameter. a YARD in diameter of pizza!

Shakys Pizza is very good. So is their fried chicken, spaghetti and salads. Before the pandemic they had the Lunch all-you-can-eat special. Excellent for the price.
