For as long as I can remember, Pizza Hut has always been nicknamed Pizza Slut.
There is a peculiar itch that can only be scratched by a combination-style Totino’s.
For pre-cooked chain pizza, Round Table
For take and bake, Papa Murphy’s
For really good local pizza, Zelda’s
I agree.
I went to college in Madison, and ate a lot of Pizza Pit (OK) and Rocky Rococo (loved it, still love it, and still manage to get it a couple of times a year when I go back to Wisconsin).
As the big chains go, I’d take Dominos over any of the others, though it’s not nearly as good as anything from our local pizza places. But, as has been discussed in numerous other threads, in Chicago, we’re blessed with a ton of great pizza places (both the local chains, and mom-and-pops).
And, every once in a while, I’ll stop at Cici’s – a pizza buffet chain, which is cheap pizza, but their Buffalo Chicken Pizza is a guilty pleasure of mine.
If I’m going to have a frozen pizza, I’d rather get a Home Run Inn pizza (a Chicago brand), or maybe a Tombstone, over a DiGiorno.
That’s pretty much where I’m at with chain pizza. I used to hate Domino’s (like bottom-of-the-barrel fast food places along with Taco Bell for me), but they’ve become pretty okay in the last half decade or so. I haven’t had Pizza Hut in probably ten years, but what I remember of them, they were just fine.
Back in my college days Pizza Pit was the choice when feeling particularly poor. Not great but cheap enough I could order on my own and throw the left overs in the fridge. Rocky Rococo’s was strongly preferred but more costly. Sometimes had a hard time finding someone to split the 'za and cost with if Rocky’s was the goal for the evening.
Of the poll choices Digiorno’s wins since it is available where I live now. We have PJ’s too but they don’t deliver to my home and their drivers always block the handicapped ramp so I have a hard time doing a pick up.
Ditto. Home Run Inn frozen pizza is actually pretty damned good pizza, and I’ll take it over PJ’s for sure, and probably even Domino’s and Pizza Hut.
Papa John’s falls into the low end tier of delivery where I can have Dominos, Papa Johns, Pizza Hut, etc and it’s all the same to me. Since it’s all the same to me and the other places haven’t said dumb stuff, I pick them over Papa John’s. Perhaps if PJ’s was heavenly, my resolve would be more tested but that’s not the case.
I rarely buy frozen and don’t live near Pizza Pit.
I spent 25 years in Colorado, which is a pizza desert. (Better now, but still sad) That means I’m well familiar with the three biggies, Pizza Hut, Papa John’s and Dominos.
Of the three included in the poll:
Digiorno - eh, I prefer Freschetta
Papa John’s - actually my favorite out of the three chains, but I won’t buy them now
Pizza Hut - disgusting, greasy crust and sub-par toppings
So, if I had to pick out of your three options, I guess I’m going with Digiorno. 
I like to take a couple of DiGiorno personal-sized “thin and crispy” pizzas (pepperoni/peppers and spinach/garlic), and add diced tomatoes onions and olives. I pull them out of the oven before they get too crispy and then flip one on top of the other, resulting in something like a calzone. Very tasty.
When a moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that’s amore!
I had to vote for the moon because Wild Mike’s wasn’t listed and that’s my go-to frozen pizza to doctor up.
Digiorno is okay frozen pizza and Papa John’s isn’t even close to the worst delivery pizza I’ve ever had.
Here at the Bomicile in Las Vegas it’s Napoli Pizza or Angelyne’s for delivery.
Pizza is nature’s most perfect food.
I have to say it’s kind of an odd poll. A political pizza poll should provide plenty of procuring sources.
So instead of the three choices, Nazi John’s, a chain no one outside of Madison has even heard of, and a (actually not that bad) frozen pizza, the poll should have:
Local independent
Domino’s
Little Ceasar
Pizza the Hut
Papa Murphy’s
Papa John
plus the big national frozens: DiGorno, Red Baron, Totino’s etc. Otherwise I’m not sure what the results of the poll are expected to reveal.
Having never tried Pizza Pit, and having had Papa John’s once, and knowing that Digiorno’s is thick bread with plain ass sauce and not much cheese, I have to go with Pizza Pit.
Went to college in New Haven, lived ever since in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
I’ve never eaten chain restaurant pizza, or frozen pizza. Why would I?
On a long, slow bicycle/auto trip through the west a few summers ago (Astoria OR to the Black Hills of South Dakota), had unexpectedly excellent pizza at independent pizzerias in Dayton, Washington, and Wisdom, Montana.
I patronize a local joint - only 2 locations, but the one closer to me will deliver.
I don’t like frozen pizza.
I quit on PapaJohn years ago.
Now I want pizza for supper, doggone you!!!
Sometimes…I get a craving for an ultra cheap sauce n’ cheese over a cardboard crust frozen pizza, or a store pizza, maybe with a few nubbins of ‘sausage’ or disks of pepperoni. I’m talking cheap. Like mom would bake for us for 10 minutes while we stayed up late to watch the Saturday Night Creature Feature. Such fun!..local pizzerias for me, for the ‘good stuff’. Barring that, DiGiornos is OK, Tombstone is better (what better to watch Lost In Space at 4 a.m. with?). Walmart and Aldi sell humongous cheap pizzas of several types in a brown cardboard box, toppings galore! Imma getting one of them someday.
Papa Johns was a ‘thing’ here in the 90’s and then disappeared. I hated it then, the crust was gummy and sweet and thick. Fuck them. They came back for about 2 years with one small shop, were soundly trounced, and disappeared again.
Last time I was at Pizza Hut I loved it, but that was 20 years ago
If I had my druthers, it would be the Paragon. The Paragon was a little gas station/restaurant/dance hall in the middle of nowhere about three miles from my hometown when I was a kid. Best pizza around. People came from all over to have it. It closed down and the owners died years ago. The building doesn’t even exist any more.
The large chain pizza places are crap!
Frozen pizza is to pizza what American cheese is to cheese.
I’m probably spoiled as I’m in New Jersey, but finding a local pizza place superior to every chain is pretty easy here.
I’m not against it, but it’s a different dish. I’ll get Totino’s from time to time. They were popular with college students back in my day because not only were they cheap, they didn’t turn bitter if you burned them. You can nearly incinerate a Totinos, and it’s still edible.
I remember when Papa Johns first appeared, or at least when it first appeared in my area. They had the same slogan – “Better ingredients, better pizza”. But I believed them back then because they were so clearly superior to Dominos back then. By me, it appears that they launched with really good pizza and then devolved to crap as they gained market share. Decades later, feh. A disappointment for the cost.
