Oh yeah, I remember wanting to go to the Esplanade Mall for Sbarro and then the arcade and then run through Electronics Boutique. Sbarro used to be great.

There’s a chain called Lost Pizza Co that started here in Indianola and I always eat there. It’s a nicer sit down chain and beats the hell out of any fast food pizza chain


Lost pizza is in multiple locations in Tupelo. You also have Papa Vanelli’s downtown.

There is also a place north of town called The Pizza Factory that is flat out awesome. Thick crust with extra sauce is the best anywhere around here hands down.

Not to me. Pizza hut is terrible other than their thin crust. I'll take dominoes hand toss or thin crust over papa or pizza hut. I'd rather a frozen heb pizza over the big 3 chains.

I usually buy from local pizza places. But when I visit Denham, I always stop at gattis for one to go or to pick up to eat where visiting. Idk what it is, but I love their pizza. I remember when Mr Gattis was a sit down restaurant.

I was recently in Frisco for work. I was wanting Mexican or Texas barbecue, but ended up working longer than expected. This was near my hotel, and this is what you want if you’re buying for a chain. I wish BR would get a location .

I think the big chains are all sort of the same. I lean towards Papa John's sauce as I find it a bit better.

I'm not sure where you are, but if you have a Sam's Club, go in the parking lot, order the pizza with scan and go, and you won't be disappointed.

I was in Wisconsin for a training class on the UofW in Madison and they have a few Ian's Pizza places around. You can walk in and can order wholes or just take a few different slices from behind the counter. I thought it was pretty good. Why don't we have places like there here?

I don't mind it either, but I also know what I'm getting when I order from them. I'm not expecting to have my mind blown but pizza to me is like sex. Even when it's not the best, it's still pretty damn good.

Like many other chain restaurants, it hasn’t been good (and I use that term loosely) since they started using commissary kitchens and freezing everything to be brought into the store.

So basically since the late 90s/early 00s.

Best chain pizzas ranked:

Jet’s—by a mile.
Marcos
Papa Murphy’s—thin crust.
Little Caesar’s

Dominos—sucks.
Papa John’s—sucks even worse.

Dominos is the best of the major/cheap chains now


Only if you get the handmade crust. Gotta get the black box.

Yeah the pan in the black box at Dominoes is pretty damn good.

Papa John’s got bad sometime before 2010. I would get it often and it was different from the rest. It was full of cheese and sauce. The toppings would almost be u der the cheese. Then it changed. This was way before they removed John.
