I used to LOVE Godfather's Pizza-anyone ever heard of them? Are they still around? They had them in the South.

Now the best pizzas are at California Pizza Kitchen-I don't know if it is national or not, but they are in California (hence, the name). They have a Thai pizza that is great! :)

MMMMMMMMM........... Papa Johns! yummy!

Pizza Connoisseur Here!
 

Pizza is my FAVORITE food. I crave it and can eat it everyday with no problem, so I consider myself an expert.

Local chains: Armands (deep dish, wonderful crust, sauce not too bad, they don't drench the pizza, actual stewed tomatoes in there); Pizza Palace (simple is usually the best, not fussed with, NY Style); Mamma Lucia's (the best sausage, it's sliced lengthwise, it's not the crumbled variety, great crust, excellent cheese to sauce ratio)

National Chains: Pizzeria Uno's: this has been my favorite pizza place my whole life. It's the best flavored crust and sausage and cheese. My favorite is the Classic with broccoli. Sbarro's: The best of the national fast food style. I will go to the mall to get a pie take out instead of ordering Domino's. I only order Domino's if I'm having lots of people over and wantthe bulk order discount, but even then it's the simple style: cheese or pepperoni.

My favorite pizza overall though is a little place on Merrick Blvd in Laurelton, Queens, NYC called J&S Pizza. It's Sicilian style, the best cheese, sauce, the sausage sliced lengthwise, it also has sausage rolls, and excellent calzones. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO ANY New Yawkas out there! Take the E train to the last stop, then take the Q5 bus to right before the border of Nassau Co., get off by the bowling alley, and walk across the street to possibly the most stimulating pizza experience of your life!

I like Pizza Hut and the only topping I like is Chesse.:D

ugh i think national chains are absolutely disgusting. pizza pretty much sucks outside of nyc. i am biased, but ya gotta go to the bronx, and if not... try joe's downtown or grimaldi's at the base of the brooklyn bridge.

After reading this thread, I think I'm going to order in some pizza for dinner! At 95 degrees, it's just too hot to go out to eat tonight.:)

You gotta love Uno's in San Fran, or of course, good ol' Pizza Hut. :)

Oh Cream, I soooo envy you. First, you're in NYC! Second, it's actually summertime weather for ya! Here in San Fran, people are wearing coats...it's like winter, seriously. It will be cold and foggy on the Fourth :(.

That's what makes Pizza Hut's pizza so gooooood! :p

I'm also a fan of dominoes and Imo's (which I think it is only local). Sbarro's is a honorable mention. I can't stand Papa John's.

In D.C., I'd have to agree with Armand's is the best... but I'm not much of a fun of NY style pizza

In Ohio, it's all about Donato's. Although I used to work there and usually that turns you off from a restuarant's food for life... their veggie pizza is SOOOOOO good :)

I like Papa Johns....
ALTHOUGH I do like the Stuffed Crust from Pizza Hut....

There is a local take out pizza called Papa Murphy's and their Veggie pizza is the BOMB too!

Hootie

Pizza Hut is good but the Pizza Hut by my house always delivers the pizza raw! The dough is never cooked all the way. It's gross, so we usually order from Papa John's or Little Caesar's b/c Domino's is blah!
