Here in the Pacific Northwest there is a chain of “take and bake” pizzas. It doesn’t matter which store you go to, they are all equally bad, Papa Murphys! Asswipes work there, assholes run the joint, the pizza is a concoction of catsup, imitation cheese and soy fortified meat.
Horrid, disgusting, gut wrenching excuse for food.
Archer - I thought we were the only ones to suffer through Papa Murphy’s special brand of hell with cheese up here in Minnesota! I feel for you. My dad tried to force a slice down my throat, and it was awful. Not as bad as the Italian pizza, but 3 pounds of toppings that taste like…uh…crap are still crap, as has been stated beforehand. I can’t believe the town voted on them over Papa John’s.
I was at Ft. Hood one summer, and several of my fellow soldiers and I decided to order pizza delivery for lunch. Thumbing through the phone book, we came across an outfit that advertised “buy 1, get 2 free.”
What the Hell, right? How bad could it be? Well, not only were the pizzas so awful as to be inedible, the “1” pizza was $20!! And this was 8-9 years ago. I guess it makes better ad copy than to just sell the pizzas for $7 apiece.
We ended up mushing the pizzas up into projectile-sized balls and playing with them. Food fights, sculpture attempts, etc…
I agree, chuck-e-cheese pizza is cheese and tomato cause and other toppings, ON TOP OF FLOUR!
YUK!
I was living at Ft. Greely, Alaska, and had the great misfortune to try the pizza from the parlor in town. Oh my God! Not only did they charge us $25. for one friggin’ pizza, but it was the nastiest stuff ever. The tomato sauce was watery and had little floaty parts of grease. We had ordered it with sausage–it came with dried bits of cooked hamburger.
From then on, I made my own damn pizza.
I was born in NJ and spent time in NY so I know what good pizza is. There is one place in Denver that comes fairly close called Anthony’s. The one down town actually uses real bulk Italian sausage.

Pizza Hut…anywhere…because, at one point, the jerks in charge had seriously planned to deface the moon with their logo. how obnoxious.
I cast another vote for Chuckie Cheese. The last time I was dragged there, I spent 10 minutes soaking the grease off the top of the pizza with napkins, until I just said forget it and went hungry.
I’ve had my share of cardboard college student pizza, but I just wanted to chime in here with a defense of California pizza. Every time I hear someone complain about it, it turns out they are talking about Domino’s or Chuck E. Cheese or some other national chain of mediocrity. Of course that stuff is bad. Only morons eat that stuff.
I live in San Diego and you don’t go to a chain–you go to Filippi’s or the Venetian, or Old Venice, or whereever.
I doubt that Pizza Hut pizza is any better in NYC than it is anywhere else.
On the Vermont/Quebec border there is a town called Derby Line. My wife (then GF) and I stopped there to spend the night after a trip to Montreal. There was literally 1 motel and 1 pizza joint. We ordered a plain cheese pizza, and the one we got made me wonder what Extra Cheese would look like. It had so much cheeze, it wasn’t cooked all the way through, merely warmed up. Pizza should have the cheese just starting to brown a bit, and this stuff was one uniform shade of post-it note yellow. It was awful, but we were so hungry, we ate it anyways. The sauce was blander than ketchup and the crust was like a corrugated box. Ich…
Ewww. The absolute WORST EVER, bar NONE, is the Boy Scout and Girl Scout pizzas.
They’re about $15 for a 14 inch pizza, and the cheese is gooey, rubbery, greasy, and flavorless.
The meats taste like they’ve been peed on, and the crust is about as stiff as a piece of soft rubber, and just about as chewy.
God-awful, horrible, vulgar pizza. Why in the HELL the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts sell this SHIT every year is beyond me. Has none of the ‘higher ups’ in charge of organizing this ever TASTED this shit? Did they LIKE IT? It blows my friggin mind!
Do they sell it (at a HUGE fucking markup price) because it’s cheap? Hell, I can get a Mama Cozzi’s pizza, the same size, from Aldis, and Mama Cozzi’s pizza is some of the best frozen pizza you can get. And it’s TWO FUGGIN DOLLARS!
And why the hell is it so expensive? It’s not because it’s great stuff. Hell, I can get a rising crust DiGiornos for like, $5. Even IF the Boy/Girl Scout pizzas were of DiGiorno’s quality, which they’re nowhere NEAR, they could sell it at their price, and make a 200% profit! BUT NO!
Geez, this CRAP is so bad I get pissed off just thinking about it.
C’mon, Boy and Girl Scouts of America! You CAN do better than this!
