On the good note, there's a couple of local places that have awesome pizza. Deano's and Pizza Village are the shit.
Another local place that's the is Pizza Artista. They've got one called the BOUCHERIE and it's like fucking candyBOUDIN ON EVERYTHING Y'ALL!!!American Cheese, Boudin, Smoked Cajun Sausage, Onions, Green Onions, Ghost Pepper -Mozzarella Blend, Cracklin, Steen's Syrup

I never delivered pizzas, but I worked at our Pizza Factory while I was in community college. I typically worked my MWF since I had class T/Th, and I worked the morning shift with the lunch rush. We offered a few lunch combos with salads and pizza by the slice. My main job was making pizzas to go in the warmer for the by the slice orders. I knew that 5-6 pizzas usually got us through the rush just fine, but I'd always make a 7th, and at the end of my shift since it'd just been sitting in the warmer I'd get to take it homeMexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2019 4:01 pmMy first job was actually delivering for Dominos, just right before I got my Dominos certainly make their pizza greasy and good, and I love their parmesan balls or pretzels (w/e they serve at the time), now its pretzels, when i worked it's balls and they are just fire.

I grew up on Pizza Hut when we would visit the "big city" of Lancaster, but the last few times I had it it wasn't as good as I remembered. PJs has a nice chewy crust/dough. Plus the dipping sauce and the pepperoncini free with your 'za. Done.
For local spots, I grew up with a Pizza Factory. Small franchise spot mostly in SoCal. Chewy crust, grease dripping everywhere, pepperonis that cup perfectly. Everything is great. Down here for local spots, I like Pizza Port and a place called Woodys (might be called woodstock, only had it a few times).
RE: Pineapple. I'm indifferent towards it. Tastes fine when it's on, but I rarely think to order it. One of my friends used to always pick up a pepperoni, pineapple, and jalapeno pizza though, and that was fantastic.

Pizza is on the menu this week, I think I’ll have to do pineapple and bacon now.
Trader Joe’s dough ftw. It’s cheap and convenient, and turns out pretty nicely.

nice i worked with couple of guys that I went to high school with and they worked inside. It was great for me and my class schedule, cause I can go to class in the mornings and work in the afternoon/nights. But had to work almost every friday/saturday night doe.SAWCE wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2019 4:05 pmI never delivered pizzas, but I worked at our Pizza Factory while I was in community college.

I had countless nights taking pizza home. Some nights when I forget the pizza bag, and I open the door before I head to school, the smell just hits my face as if someone was smoking loud in the car.

I'll generally go for quality over a cheap PJ or Dominos pizza any day. Although $22 for a large is pretty steep. For a large at local places around me it's between $14-16.SAWCE wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2019 4:03 pmYeah the smaller places out here are way more expensive than the big chains. Do I want a $7 large from PJ, or a $22 large from Pizza Port? $7 wins 9/10.troyguitar wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2019 3:45 pm
There's nothing at all inherently superior about an individual restaurant. In fact, they're less likely to be competitive on price and consistency.

Aldi's pizza's are the best frozen ones by far. Some even come with breadsticks along with marinara. My closest Aldi is only 2 miles.troyguitar wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2019 3:30 pm I saw that our Aldi has a frozen Chicago Casserole option.

I actually tried deep dish at a pizza restaurant in Turkey a couple of times, they're 5/7. I also had a free deepdish at dominos as well.
I ate the one on the 2nd pic and has melted cheese right under it.

Do you remember where you went?SAWCE wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2019 3:27 pmI'm sure we missed good local spots, but the few deep dish places we went to in Chicago were just okay. Flavor is fine, but I just don't want that much on my pizza.
There's a Chicago-style pizza place out here that I've heard a few Chicago transplants highly recommend, so I'll check that out one day and see if it's any better than what I had in Chicago.

in4results. The $1.99 frozen pizzas they have there are pretty OK. Definitely not "good pizza" but they work if you just need some food or something.troyguitar wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2019 3:30 pm I saw that our Aldi has a frozen Chicago Casserole option.

We do have 3 independent pizza joints here and... They are not better than chains. Being independent doesn't make you good, it just means that you don't have enough desire OR money to open up more locations.
