Pizza Hut or Pappa John's?

[Fountain79]

When Pappa John's came to town, I sang its praises and swore off Pizza Hut. Now I am beginning to turn back to Pizza Hut. Which do you prefer?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

1. I like Papa Murphy's.

Especially their chicago-style stuffed pizza.

[fishwax]

25. papa murphy's is great

:thumbsup:

[Bunny]

2. Papa John's.

[AlCzervik]

3. the sauce at pizza hut gives me really bad heart burn.

not crazy about Papa John's either but then again i'm lactose intolerant.

[azmouse]

4. Neither.

Much better pizza can be had from any small local pizzeria.

[Karenca]

8. Neither either

Cannot eat chain pizza!

[smtpgirl]

35. AGREED!!!

[Radical Activist]

15. Someplace local for me too.

Better Pizza. I haven't been to pizza hut in a while but they always burned my pepperoni. Every time.

[WildEyedLiberal]

18. Pizza hut is a little on the crispy side like that

I definitely vote for local pizza, but in my small hometown, Pizza Hut is one of two chain options if you want any pizza at all, so I kinda like it. It's loads better than Papa John's IMHO.

That said, if available, local pizza almost always wins. I'm particularly partial to Upper Crust in Boston and Imo's in St. Louis.

5. Papa John's tastes like sugar. I don't like Pizza Hut, but I'd take it

over Papa John's any day.

[Digit]

33. Papa John's is the only pizza I won't eat...it tastes too sweet

I have tried it four times now...usually because I was out voted by a group ordering pizza.
The sauce is nasty.

[qnr]

41. I agree. Nasty n/t

[huskerlaw]

6. Papa Johns!

Pizza Hut's pizza is so greasy you could wring it out. Blech.

[Deep13]

7. Marcos

Papa John seems like it is excessively crust, at least around here.

[Bunny]

9. I order the Thin Crust version, much better than their Original Crust.

I get fresh tomatoes, grilled chicken, etc. and I like it just fine!

[Bill McBlueState]

48. oh, Marcos...

I used to live in northern Ohio and Marco's is one thing I really miss about it...

[SmokingJacket]

10. Down with chains!

I like our local pizza guy.

[Karenca]

11. I've never eaten chain pizza

But I know I hate it.

[Deep13]

13. That was fine when I was back East,...

...but the locals are a bit thinly spread around here.

[Karenca]

16. I know it's different.

I lived in surburbia for 5 years,
so I remember the difficulties I encountered
buying the same foods I was used to eating.

So I hope my post didn't make me sound like a brat.

[Deep13]

22. In the very non-upscale town near Worcester, MA...

...I could have and indeed tried to go my whole life without ever setting foot in a chain restaurant and especially a fast-food joint. Local eateries are around, but not nearly to the same extent and they tend to be a bit pricey. Plus the national companies are everywhere. Not just restaurants either, but all kinds of businesses. One cannot spit without hitting a Wendys or a Rite-Aid.

[Karenca]

23. I fully understand.

When I lived in that surburban neighborhood,
it was exactly like you describe.

Sundays, we spent the day at Walmart---
for food shopping!!

The residents described the area as
"working-class poor".

I didn't mind that so much though, I just really hated the fact that there were so many
chains...therefore no creativity. I probably had culture shock after never living anywhere
before except NYC.....I know we New Yorkers are spoiled.

12. Pizza Hut

but only because of their sides.

[ChickMagic]

14. Hut

I like their thin crust, but I have to get light sauce.

[Orangepeel]

17. Olive Garden!

:hide:

[MadHound]

19. Shakespeare's!! Have you had a piece today?

Best pizza anywhere!

[YankeyMCC]

20. Given those options and if you're talking just pizza

Papa Johns

But it's been years since I had it so I'm assuming it's the same style/quality. It was actually the closest to thing decent pizza we could get when we lived near St Louis.

But of course Pizza Hut gives you some other choices besides pizza, in fact (again when I lived near St Louis) my co-workers and I would go to Za-Hut for the lunch buffet often (and I would get teased for actually getting salad)

[Nickster]

21. Papa John's, better crust and you I like the cheese sauce cups. n/t

[Reciprocity]

24. Not to start anything but I thought PJ was a BIG * contributor?

I could be wrong. I like Little Caesar, they have a large cheese or pepperoni pizza ready all day for $5.00.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

26. They both suck and NEITHER ARE PIZZA!

:puke::puke::puke:

[Karenca]

28. Hi

No.......It is NOT pizza.

But we're spoiled, I guess? (NY/NJ) :hi:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

31. Or as I described the pizza in CT...

It's kind of okay for fake pizza. It's not like real pizza, but it's better than chain pizza.

[Throd]

27. I had a roommate who managed a Pizza Hut...

If you could hear any of the stories he told me about what goes on in the kitchen you would never go back.

[deucemagnet]

29. I delivered for Pizza Hut briefly during college...

...I'll never order another Pizza Hut pan pizza again. :puke:

[Pierre.Suave]

30. I can not stand

Pizza Hut.

[jpgray]

32. Blech to both of them

[matcom]

34. Pizza at the Sizzler BUFFET!

:D

[Bill McBlueState]

49. how about pizza at a Chinese buffet?

Ya gotta love the little section of the Chinese buffet they always have for people who can't handle furrin' food.

[Blue Gardener]

36. Just ate Papa John's Pizza

It was dee-licious!

[chaska]

37. Pizza Hut used to have commercials with Rush Limbaugh as pitchman...

I've never forgiven them. And never will.

[Fleshdancer]

38. Out of the two: Pizza Hut

But if you're ever in Austin, TX you have to try Mangia Pizza. Yummmm

[grannylib]

39. I love Papa John's, but they funded the Swiftie Liars, so I am boycotting

them...

[TommyO]

40. One of the local shops

I've eaten Pizza Hut, Papa John's, and yes even the evil that is Dominos. When I want real pizza and I'm at home, it's Steve's, when I'm at work it's Alfonso's or Dominick's. That said, there are plenty of awful local places too that would instantly send me back to one of the three chains I mentioned.

[Benfea]

42. Gino's East!

National pizza chains are eeeeevil.

[chrisau214]

43. From Those Choices

I would have to go with Papa John's. But there's a local place that blows away all of the chains. And my guess is that every town has a local place that blows away the chains and their assembly line pizzas.




Chris

[Fountain79]

44. I agree, there are several places close to me that are great local places.

but then again, when I want inexspensive pizza, I check out PJ and/or PH.

[datasuspect]

45. cheeseburgers

[KitchenWitch]

46. Carbones

[bigwillq]

47. Neither. That shit ain't pizza (nt)

[Kali]

50. pizza hut is ok for a chain

super secret sick confession: I LOVE thier "italian" salad chemical, have bought gallon jugs of it on occasion!

[Floogeldy]

51. They are all the same and they all suck.

And, in addition, they blow.

:smoke:

[Awsi Dooger]

52. Papa Johns sucks

I could eat one of their so-called large pizzas in three minutes.

Better toppings? I couldn't find any toppings.

Other than being too small and too expensive and too tasteless, I'd recommend it.

Pizza Hut pan is excellent for a chain pizza, IMO. Some toppings better than others. The veggie lovers always works best for me.

[doc03]

53. DiCarlos in the Upper Ohio valley area.

The national chains suck.

[Indy_Dem_Defender]

54. I will eat just about any pizza

Whether it's those little 75 cent frozen grocery store brand pizzas that alot of people call shit on a shingle or a chicago style pizza from the original uno's in chicago. I will avoid Dominos from hearing to many horror stories, like neighbor of my grandparents who manages one and happens to be a druggie who got HIV from sharing needles.

[6000eliot]

55. They're both too greasy for me.

[last_texas_dem]

56. Papa John's

They're thicker and tend to have better toppings, so I prefer them to Pizza Hut. The Papa John's in my town closed, though, so my favorite now is probably Mazzio's. The only other option is Domino's which has always been my least favorite (and that's not even considering the whole crazy right-wing connections I've heard they have/had.)

[Broken_Hero]

57. Pizza Hut...nt

[Gatchaman]

58. Fox's Pizza Den

Regional chain which smacks pizza slut/papa roachs like Olberman smacks the coultergeist.

[bertha katzenengel]

59. PIZZA HUT!

Greasier, better crust, better at actually complying when extra cheese and extra pepperoni are ordered and paid for -- and they don't put the toppings under the goddamned cheese!

[baldguy]

60. Pizza Hut has that wonderful golden-brown crust, right?

It's sprayed on from an aerosol can, like paint.

[elehhhhna]

61. Neither. They're both disgusting. Order online form Giordanos' in Chgo.

[Duppers]

62. Pappa John's BY ALL MEANS!

This household hates Pizza Hut. Perhaps they differ from area to area?
