People who say that dominoes is better than Pizza Hut are the kind of people to take a dump after taking a shower.

Pizza Hut, when it's the old sit down restaurant spots, deliver pretty good food at a reasonable price.
But most Pizza Huts in NYC are the greasy take out places that are nothing but a hole in a wall and barely any space or tables to sit.
Local places are almost always better than Pizza Hut, but there always a few times to local place will burn the pie or make it too hot to eat.

New York pizza is good, but nothing outstanding. It seems that most places skimp on cheese and ham. They look like that italian pizza posted earlier. Too much sauce as well. Back in mexico I had better pizza tbh and that is absurd.
Pizza Hut > Papa Johns > Dominos
For me it would be Pizza Hut > Little Cesars > Dominos > Papa Johns. I've never understood the appeal of Papa Johns, their pizzas taste horrible. On a side note, I'm creeped out by how Papa John never blinks in any of his commercials.

I think we're talking about national chains. Jets Pizza is still primarily a Midwest thing, although there are franchises in other states. I've only seen it in Michigan and Ohio. Also, the pizza reminds me of the french bread pizza they served at school lunch in the 90s.
I'm with you. The appeal of Papa John's is their long running marketing campaign that pretends like they're a national chain that actually serves good pizza. I find Papa Johns and DOminoes almost indistinguishable, except for price. Papa John's regularly ran $3 - $4 more expensive than Dominoes, so I never understood why anybody would have ordered it. If you're ordering shit tier national pizza, may as well get the cheapest one.
Pound for pound, Dominoe's $5 medium 2 topping pizza fed me through college. Or 3 small 1 topping pizzas for $12. Jesus those deals. You'd be drunk at 2am and Dominoes would deliver till 4am. It was glorious.
Oh, I didn't realize it wasn't national.
Sorry, I wasn't clear. I'm not saying all pizza in the US sucks, I'm saying all American style pizza sucks. And that of course is only my personal opinion.

Pizza Hut has $11 unlimited toppings. And Pizza Hut is a lot better than it was wen I was a kid. I'd love to eat local pizza more often but I'd take an unlimited topping Pizza Hut pie over a boring ass pepperoni or cheese for the same price from a local spot.

What exactly is "american style pizza"? Because I can get practically any style of pizza where I live; Chicago style deep dish, thin and crispy, etc.

I enjoyed it up until I tried their Pizza Mia a few years ago. That was one of the worst things I've ever had in my life.

I still can't believe that on a place like GAF that derides McDonalds so hard for their shitty ingredients there are people standing up to defend the likes of Pizza Hut and Little Caesars. They are "good" in the respect that it shouldn't be hard to combine tomato sauce, bread and cheese together into something halfway decent but they are using shit-teir tomatoes, cheese and bread.
These places aren't usually the 2nd, 3rd, 4th or even 5th best option for pizza in most places in the US and should be rightly relegated to when you're drunk, high or extremely hungover. They aren't even usually cheaper.
So yeah, a $5 little caesars hot-n-ready pizza is good in the same sense that a $5 back alley hand job is good.

Both Pizza Hut and Domino's are insultingly bad. Get some real pizza, you can find it almost anywhere.

This thread should have been a poll. Dominos or Pizza Hut
OP, I agree on Pizza Hut. Give me a pepperoni and chicken with asiago crust and honey sriracha glaze and I'm in heaven. But......
This man is correct. Their stuffed crust blows.

Living in Chicagoland, I couldn't even imagine ordering from one of these chain places. Too many good alternatives. That said, if I'm going to eat garbage pizza, I agree, Pizza Hut wins hands down. They have differentiated themselves just enough with hot dogs in the crust and weird ingredients to make them unique.

I eat every type of pizza. I just love pizza.

Some Dominos are really fucking garbage and some Pizza Huts seem to actually treat their pizza with respect.
Honestly though you can order delivery fries with your Pizza Hut though so that makes me a little happy.

Sometimes you just need to have a Pizza Hut pizza to remind yourself that life is worth living and everything's going to be okay.

Please define "American style pizza," as there are like dozens of different types. The pizza in your photo from whatever German restaurant that was looks like any number of pizzas I could get at any restaurant in any city in the US.
Basically. What is wrong with the OP?
Pizza Hut sucks, just like American Pizza in general.
Only Italian pizza is good pizza.
The good thing about America is that we're a big country with lots of places that are a million times better than Pizza Hut. Pizza like in your picture exists here.

I used to eat the pan pizzas a lot when I was younger. I really liked them.

Junior, please.
Pizza Hut is fucking amazing, if you're in the right mood for it.
It can be somewhat heavy going.

This made me laugh way more than it should have.
But it's true. Dominos is gross. Pizza Hut is awesome, especially thin and crispy.

Never had any problems with chain pizzas. They're all great. Put the toppings on the dough and bake it. The issue is always with locations and what people you get making it. I've had some amazing dominos and sometimes a thin, sloppy, wet dough for crust depending on the person. My towns Pizza Hut used to be amazing. Every pizza was good enough to go on an ad. They shut down due to an owner scandal causing almost 30+ locations to be closed within my state. A new Pizza Hut re-opened and the staff on their is making some of the wettest and greasiest pizza I've ever had every time. Shit's nasty.

I love the pizza/sex analogy where "even when it's bad it's still pretty good." I eat pizza all the fucking time (maybe 75-100 times per year, honestly) and I can't really say I've had "bad" pizza but for maybe 20 times in my life. Pizza Hut is fine. People sure love to shit on stuff.

I prefer a couple independent joints in my area. It pays to go on a pizza safari in your local area and find the best pizza maker. beats out pizza hut any day
Pizza hut is my jam, especially dem fat pan pizza *drools*
looks like a retro Pizza Hut pizza. they seemed to taste/look better twenty years ago. but maybe that's just evolving taste buds
Sorry again, I somehow was under the impression the term is used worldwide. American style pizza is what we call extremely greasy pizza with really thick dough and way too much cheese- like the pan pizzas you can get at Pizza Hut. Again, I'm not saying you can't get good pizza in the US! The US is a diverse and huge country and I'm sure you can basically get any kind of food there. Should have made that clear with my first post, though.

this made me laugh haha. pizza hut is ok if you are in the mood for it. it gets gross pretty quickly though. it's a couple times a year kind of thing for me at this point.
In my experience, Pizza Huts vary in quality by a huge range.
In college, we had two Pizza Huts nearby. One would be the default location it would give us when we ordered online, the other was just barely a little farther in a different direction. If we ordered from the first one, it was always a greasy, salty mess of spongey dough and not enough sauce/cheese. The second one actually made really decent pizza, and other students could confirm that the difference was remarkable enough to make them completely ignore the first one.
So I completely believe the people who say that Pizza Hut is shit, because chances are they've only eaten at bad ones. The one near me now is pretty fucking awful, and I never get it. But I can also believe those that say they actually really like Pizza Hut, because I can confirm that there are places capable of making decent pizza.
