Wife makes kick ass Naan bread pizza.

If we order it’s usually Parry’s, Mici, or Jets.

If we want cheap it’s Little Caesar’s as we all like it better than Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, or Dominos.

There was a fantastic local place where I used to live in Imperial Beach, but sadly I don't live there anymore so I can't get it unless it's the very rare occasion that I'm back in the area.

Otherwise I'll go with Domino's, their 2 for $6.99 isn't too bad to beat, and they usually stick to what I ask for.

There is no good local takeaway in my current area. I briefly lived in an area that had a decent place (not even great, just a notch above the chains) and it ruined crappy pizzas for me enough to take up pizza making. I mean don't get me wrong I'll still do little Caesars from time to time if I need cheap calories, but if I want real pizza I'll make it myself.

I can get just about any style of pizza I want from local shops, why would I go with a major chain? Rarely I'll get Pizza Hut because it is its own thing that nobody else replicates.

I like my local pizza place, but it's a fairly large brand now. They have 99 locations, so idk if it is even considered local anymore.

We have only a couple choices we're we live. We have nothing local. We order Dominos because they have a coupon that can feed the family for like 20 bucks. Plus get 10 points every time I order and after 60 I get a free pizza. So every now and then I cash them in and get myself a free pizza which funny enough also gives points

Well certainly not Papa John's because their pizza is awful.

We get local coal fired when feeling spendy, Pizza Hut is best value per calorie (so calorie dense) and reheats the best for sure, so much grease it crisps right up in a hot oven, love that. Whole Foods pizza is legit too, often we get that if shopping at suppertime.

There is also Little Caesars by us, that is cheap and not too bad .

I sometimes make pizza too, sourdough crust, yum, but oven only goes to 550f (288C) so not as good at cooking them.

Local place is the best here. I'm not sure why a chain would try in NJ with our amazing totally better than NYC pizza.

Sometimes I get coupons for domino's so I'll get them, but honestly the local place is the best. The very best local place closed during covid, so the other local place is one now (there are three other local places for pizza, but they pretty blah). I miss your, pizza place that was probably a front, you had the best Greek pizza ever.

If you've got an ALDIs nearby, they've got a $5 cheese take n bake. Pro move is to get one of those and then cut your own toppings, bake, it'll be better than any chain.

I'm sure there's other good take n bakes, but $5 for a quality one is probably hard to match

Little Caesars.

Domino's

Make it at home.

In order of the amount of time I have. Obviously I prefer making my own from scratch.

A Papa Johns just opened up across the street from me. I've never personally been to one. Are they any good?

Local takeaway 100% of the time. You don't get chain pizza, your employer does it for you.

It really depends on what I'm in the mood for. I can appreciate both high quality gourmet pizza and Little Caesar's Hot N Ready garbage. When you want one of those in particular, the other just doesn't hit the spot. Usually I default to the local place nearby for the more general pizza cravings.

Here’s a Hot Take: Order from the place that hits your sweet spot between quality and price!

Chain stores are usually franchised so a lot of the money is still local.

Also branch out! I’ve discovered that a local Bar & Grill a few blocks away makes a freaking amazing pizza for about half the price of everyone else on town. It’s INSANE how good and cheap this pizza is!

Local every time, chains are shit and expensive, and you get more choice of shop here in the UK anyway

Firm supporter of local stores and businesses. It also does help that I have a few good places in walking distance and a healthy city centre. So if I want and weather permitting I can sit on their patio and wave to acquaintances.

Local whenever possible. I’d rather heat up a frozen pizza than order from a chain.

Where I live, we have a chain called Cottage Inn, that started on city over. They're my choice pretty much every time. They're open late for delivery, and make better pizza than the big chains 100% of the time, plus, since the mega-corps have increased their prices so much over the last couple years, Cottage Inn is basically the same price as well

If there isn't a good local joint, I like Marco’s. They tend to be a lot better at cooking and topping. When they’re on their game, their pizzas taste like 80’s pizza commercials looked and it’s amazing.

I live in the chicago area so local all the way. I usually have a pizza in the freezer if I want something chain quality.

I used to actually love Domino's but then the pizza got a little worse, then a little smaller, then smaller again, then more expensive, then quite a lot more expensive, then the voucher system that was keeping prices under control was trashed and then the pizzas got way smaller again.

This was a blessing in disguise though really. I tended not to explore the local options before this because they were only occasionally good in one's area if you were lucky and always much pricier. Since Domino's pricing stopped being cheap it made it worth searching for cheesier pastures and there's a local joint near me that does NY style and it's really good. That was really just luck though, honestly there's a lot of really crappy neighbourhood pizza joints that people assume will be better because they're not a chain when they're really no better I'm glad I seemed to have landed next to the cream of the crop.

Little caesers

I prefer a real Brooklyn slice but it can't be had where I live. IMO Donatos is a fair substitute. They're in like 30 states.

The big national chains are garbage.

Sam's club. It's the same quality as the rest of the corpos but it's the only one that's affordable.

Local is always best but they're not open at 3am. So Domino's

Local takeout ftw. I haven't eaten at a pizza chain in years and don't miss it at all!

Now the real question in New England is Italian-style vs Greek-style pizza
