When ever I need a CT scan I tell them at the hospital, I’m going to eat a Little Caesars pizza instead of drinking that crap because it has the same effect.
Nobody can out-pizza The Hut. From junior high all thru high school, I think I had a Pizza Hut pizza about once a week for that entire time. I can just taste that pepperoni now.
^ I grew up in Brooklyn I could show you a dozen places that can out pizza the hut, even here in South Florida I have much better choices than the Hut.
If I was forced to eat one type of food everyday for the rest of my life pizza would be in the running for that particular food.
Of course I appreciate good pizza, but even shitty chain pizza can be edible as long as it’s fresh and hot, WITH the exception of Little Caesars.
BTW - there are very few frozen pizzas that are decent. Yuck. Always have one in the freezer for desperate times though.
I like to buy the dough at the grocery store and make my own. Still not as good as restaurant type because my oven doesn’t get hot enough but it’s way better than frozen.
Pizza Hut has virtually disappeared from my area. Papa John's also, though they were never well established here to begin with. There are too many good local options to deal with chains anyway, though I do occasionally order from Papa Gino's.
Shailynn - Freschetta is pretty good for frozen. But the best frozen pizza I've ever had is Lou Malnati's ordered from Taste of Chicago. It's pricey per pie, but it is so much better than a frozen pizza has any right being.
I like cold pizza, but I don’t know what it is about Little Caesar’s. It’s edible while it’s extremely hot ‘n fresh but even if it’s a little old, it’s nasty.
If you stay away from the $5 hot & ready single topping pizzas and place a custom order with plenty of toppings and extra cheese (and I like the thin crust) it’s really not bad. But then it’s 75% the cost of Pizza Hut and a longer wait.
The only chain pizza in my area is Dominos. I tried it once, and I know my neighbors laughed at me after seeing that delivery car pull up. In all honesty, the pizza wasn’t good. The sauce is not fresh, the crust is bland and I think I got a pie with 9 slices?
There is no Pizza Hut, Little Ceasars, or Papa Johns in my area, and I’m ok with that.

If you were looking for a not terrible frozen supermarket Pizza, try the Screaming Sicilian brand, it's available in Publix, I like the flatbread one with extra cheese.Not great but less terrible than most of the others I've tried
Just think about this, if you went out and worked, you know actually earned some money you could buy a fresh pizza instead of dumpster diving at little ceasers and dominos.
Then you could save up, get your own computer and post on tuscl anytime, not just when the library is open.
I havent had franchise pizza in a while. These days I have my local go to's. Recommend everyone download the one bite app, its the yelp of pizza reviews. Also there is a fun youtube channel associated with the app. This guys loves to eat pizza in NY, NJ, FL, and CT
Of the chains Pizza Hut is the best. There are a lot of good local places in some places but others not so much. However I’ll go for Pizza Hut in the edible mediocrity category.
25 - yep that’s the one I buy. Screaming Sicilian. Pretty easy to find here.
I always get suckered in, every few months the grocery stores will have some fancy looking frozen pizza that’s like $10 and it’s in fancy shrink wrap instead of a crappy cardboard box and I buy it thinking “maybe this will be the one!!!” And it always sucks.
I read an article recently from a pizza chef in NYC. They said to bake a frozen pizza you need to set your oven to the max temp, let it run for 45 to 60 minutes once it reaches the temp, then bring it back down to the suggested temp for your frozen pizza, and it will bake it soooo much better. Really? Like I have time to wait almost 2 hours for a frozen pizza? I mean if I’m eating a frozen pizza in the first place you can already assume my day is not going right to begin with.
That was pretty funny, little caesar is ok for cheap pizza.. my fav. chain would be hands down Hungry Howies, yum! I have not had a good frozen pizza yet, some of the brands are so bad you can't make it past 1 or 2 pizza..Red Baron etc... and once it is cold.. oh man not sure if I would give it to my dog, maybe the squirrels.. ha!
I swear I would rather be hungry than eat chain store pizza. I've tried them all and they all suck. I don't even know how they call that shit "pizza" except that it sorta looks like pizza.
Agree. There’s too many great pizza places where I live to eat chain pizza. But there are some around here. I guess they do business cause they’re cheaper
Offhand I can't think of another fast food chain that provides value for money the way Little Caesar's does.
But, it's always been a mystery to me that none of Cashman's primo Northeast single-store pizza places ever grew into a major national chain. I would have thought few people want their pizza to cheap but of mediocre quality all the time. But, outside the Northest, it's hard, sometimes impossible, to find anything else.

It provides an unusual history lesson - but I can’t dispute such well presented facts.
If the narrator doesn’t like the racist language used by Papa John, then why does he drop the n-word during his narration?
I avoid pizza chains. There are many excellent local pizza joints here in NE NJ.
Keeps the shitters in business.

The last franchise pizza I ate regularly was pizza hut because I didnt know better and they had a buffet

And that would outdo anything Little Caesar does, Lol
