I think its based on location. Dominoes pizza where I live, the pizzas be good(chain pizza good). But the Papa Johns near me is gross as fukk. Pizzas be under cooked and smoothered in tomato sauce.
back before the world knew what a racist shytbag john schnatter is, i used to get tons of free PJs. bought weed from the manager and my roommate cooked and delivered. hell even i worked there for a few weeks
ive never liked their sauce. its got this sickly sweetness to it. you can dump a ton of hot sauce/sriracha on it to make it edible, but that sauce is a travesty. their dough isn't too bad... ive always been able to fold their slices, at least. hand tossing is important, and i wouldnt be surprised if they dont even do that anymore. so many places now have a dough stretcher where you just drop the ball in the top a few times while rotating and it comes out perfect. i hate those damn machines passionately.
a lot of places just dont train their employees worth a damn. we have Marcos Pizza here, which is... okay. but they train their cooks to dump all the toppings in the middle of the pizza, so when you pull a slice, either the cheese/toppings slide off and stay in the box, or the slice slumps over and you get toppings in your lap.
i take food very seriously as a
member. i want my shyt made correctly. especially these days, when getting a couple pies delivered + tip can easily be $50-60
