Which American Pizza Giant is the very Best? (Pizza Hunt, Dominos, Papa John's, Little Caesars)

Here in Finland the frozen pizza can actually be amazing. Not all tho for sure.

Out of those restaurants we have pizza hut they still use dough balls here it's good if there is a buffet else it's disgustingly expensive 29€ for big pan pepperoni pizza and the normal is like 8 inch pizza.

We have else really good napoletan pizza places Luca's, Via tribunali and others then the usual European Turkish Kurd pizza places that are cheaper.

And our own brand Kotipizza whom make decent stuff with pricing a bit higher.

At times it feels like we are a pizza nation.

But best pizza we make at home with ooni koda 12 oven with dough made by me from Italian flour raising it properly for few days and then San marzano for tomato sauce with basil and garlic + salt and Cretan olive oil. Fior di latte cheese. Some spianata calabrese, n'duja and Finnish pepperoni is my fav.

Wife will take hot greek peppers, artichokes from Italy, spianata calabrese and mushrooms with some n'duja.

 

I'll come to your house and kiss you

Our daughter arrived from Melbourne (Australia) first time we've seen her since covid arrived

so I made pizza

 

That sounds wonderfully good Ryu!

 

One all dressed please

 

Lol!! Much love back Bill. I'm so happy for you brother. A family reunion with an awesome homemade pizza by @big ROBOT bill himself. That's a great way to spend a weekend.

Congrats Guru.

 

Lol!

 

In my area in Germany there is almost no big pizza company, just one Pizza Hut and one Dominos. Pizza Hut pizzas are tasty but very expensive compared to others. At some Italian restaurant I pay about 10 to 15 Euros for a pizza with 40cm (family size), Pizza Hut just offers 33cm max. for almost double (20 to 30 Euros).
I haven't tried Dominos yet, or better said: I did order and it showed pizza is on delivery, then they canceled the order and told me I am outside of the area they deliver to. Since then I haven't tried anymore.

Best pizza is homemade. My wifes knows a recipe for a delicious dough and our kids love to create their own pizzas and put stuff on them. I would always and immediately turn down any pizza for the ones my wife makes.

 

I'm from the UK and we don't have all of those options here, that said I don't rate any of the franchises/chain stores. I find them to be grossly over priced for the quality, I'd much rather support small local businesses if I order in. You generally get much better food for a substantially lower price, there's a place down the road from me that will make up a 14" pizza for £10, they regularly do 20% off deals when there's a holiday or event too.

 

Compared to our local pizza places (especially Salamone's because the owner is an NYC transplant and it's New York style pizza), the chains are crap. I'm sorry to say that, but it's true. Our locally owned pizza places are way better in terms of quality. But given the choices, I'd say Dominos is the best.

 

My only experience with american Pizza is the Domino pizza next to the Berkeley University, and it was average at best.
Had a better experience with Pizza Hut back in France, but the best pizzas clearly are not from those large companies but the smaller scale pizzerias.

 

I grew up in Detroit and there was this smaller chain called Dino's ... Dino's Pizza and that was good stuff I still remember how good it was.
