In my exeperience, pizza chains will never beat any homestyle based resturant. Best pizza comes from freshly made ingrediants not from a factory.

It's taken me a while to post my ratings because I've had a hard time figuring out just how low to go with these numbers. This was some of the worst pizza I've ever had, but I'm only 29, and though I have traveled a fair amount, I know there is a lot of pizza out there in the world I have yet to try. So it's hard to gauge how much room to leave in between zero and Domino's.

I didn't like the Domino's or Little Caesar's at all. The Pizza Hut was very, very greasy, but still entirely edible in my opinion.

Pizza Hut 2.5
Little Caesar's 1.3
Domino's 0.8

Don't weep for Alabama, or at least not Birmingham. We've got Dave's: www.davesontheweb.com/pizza. I'll try to get there next time I'm in town for a special report.

According to wikipedia, the ancient Chinese philosopher Mencius recommended dog as the tastiest of all meats. Maybe that's the secret behind Domino's success.

I thankfully had a cold. So, the Pizza Hut veggie lover's pizza wasn't horrible w/Tabasco sauce. The Little Caesar's bacon pizza was a bit weird. Domino's was so bad it was worse.

On a serious note: we could save 200,000 barrels of oil a day if we wring out our leftover crusts from "Big Pizza".

Think about it.

Pizza Hut: 2.0
Little Caesar's: 1.5
Domino's: 1.0

First, somebody needs to send Ryan a good ole' fashion CHICAGO PIZZA, as that crap we ate sucked in Chicago, sucked in Miami, and I spoke to my parents in Athens, Greece who live about 4 blocks from a Pizza Hut, and they both repudiated it was cruel and unusual punishment for transplanted Chicagoans to have to eat that. It was not has bad as Domino's which even the dog would not go near after a few bites. Little Caesar's started off the night and I thought it was pretty bad but it was a gourmet pizza from Florence compared to the others.
From now all my rating will be adjusted to reflect the excrement I had to devour in order to recalibrate my system of judgment.
I don't like to give advice but here is something I can say with some certitude: DO NOT ORDER FROM THESE PLACES. Eat a ketchup sandwich or starve yourself instead, your stomach (and dog) will thank you in the morning. I have never told anyone not to eat pizza, but these guys had me on the toilet all day at work the next day.
I would give Little Caesars a 2.5, Pizza Hut a 1.5 and Domino's a generous 1.0.

This may lead to some derision but dammit when you read a CPC opinion you get cold, hard, polygraph-tested, sodium pentathol-induced truth.

The pizza hut hand-tossed meat lovers pizza i had delivered 3/21 was pretty darn good. I was not present at the SOTPC meeting but instead mired in the pizza void many know as Miami.

I live two blocks from the Pizza Hut so the delivery was basically straight out of the oven. Meat was salty and crust was extra buttery but it hit the spot. Even inspired a repeat order since.

6.9

Sometimes it's best to let the words of more articulate people speak for you. I will allow Kool Keith to do my talking for me from his album Dr. Dooom

"I'm about to boo you, let it be fair
Your fans are mad - your performance was garbage bag
I'ma tell you straight, look in the fucking mirror, you wack
That shit don't sound right, your mixdown ain't right
Your vocals are too low.. your fucking cadence is off
Stage show is weak.. fuck you"

Little Caesar's - 2.0
Domino's 0.5
Pizza Hut 1.0

I may be a little biased, but I thought that the Little Caesar's was the cream of the crop (as it were), even if we did get shorted on sauce for our crazy bread. And even processed bacon is still delicious, plus the sauce isn't totally terrible (at least if I do my best to not think about the different methods my co-workers and I used to mix their sauce up back when I worked there in High School...)

The Domino's pizzas were total crap, I don't even think the dough was cooked all the way, it was pretty raw on the inside (versus the Little Caesars which was more cardboard-like), but yeah... it was revolting.

The Pizza Hut was somewhere inbetween Caesar's and Domino's... it would've been interesting to have thrown Papa John's into the mix as well, I always liked their pizza in college and it'd be interesting to see if that still holds true today or if my tastes for pizza have grown more refined as a result of years as a Chicago Pizza Club member.

Anywho, as bad as the pizza was it was still a fun night. Little Caesar's; 3, Pizza Hut; 2, Domino's; 0.5

I was shocked at how bad these pizzas were. I am certainly not a pizza snob. Crust, cheese and tomato sauce can almost always satisfy me. Almost.

Before this meeting, I hadn't had Domino's in about a year and a half and hadn't had Little Caesar's or Pizza Hut for (guessing here) three and five years respectively.

The Domino's was bad and the Little Caesar's was virtually inedible. The meat lover's pizza from Pizza Hut was saved by the extraordinary amount of meat (even low-grade, processed meat with unhealthy levels of sodium is still meat).

I think what surprised me most about these pizzas was how utterly devoid of flavor the cheese and crust were.

Since I have to give each place a score, they are as follows: Pizza Hut - 1.5, Domino's 1, and Little Caesar's 0.5.

All that said, I'm very happy the CPC had this event as it gives me a low point against which I can balance future unappetizing offerings.
