I order Pizza Hut solely because I can get it without cheese; if I could still eat cheese, I'd definitely prefer Dominoe's
I can get Domino’s, but I hate the “flavorized” crust on their regular pizza, which tastes like tinfoil to me. And you can’t really order it no-flavor, like, you can try putting “NO TERRIBLE GARLIC GREASE” in the notes but they will usually still add it in, there’s no “no flavor” checkbox.
So when I order from them I usually order the pan style, and that’s a flip of a coin as to whether the middle of the pizza will be raw dough (or, if you ask them to cook it well-done, whether it will just be straight-up burned). And again it’s that $4 delivery fee, which because that doesn’t go to the driver really means an $8 delivery fee....
I still risk it once in a while, but these days every time I think about ordering domino’s it’s like “Is it worth risking $8 on top of the cost of the food?”

I have to ask, how do you need a car to get a little ceasars? because the last time I bought them on the regular I picked them up on my bicycle.
Several obstacles intervened :D For one, I’m not terribly comfortable riding my bike on the street in Chicago; I’ve seen too many heinous accidents because Chicago drivers just straight-up don’t give a shit who else is on the road, so I stick to parks and trails when I ride. Also, I don’t ride outside if the weather is below 45F.
But mostly it’s because until recently, the closest Little Caesars was a 12 mile round trip. Which is doable, but not really pleasant. Balancing a pizza on the handlebars isn’t something I’m into, and it’d be cold by the time it arrived anyway. Plus like...I like Little Caesars but it’s not worth a 12 mile bike ride in urban Chicago. If I’m not going to get it brought to me hot, it’s not really a good ROI for me.
Recently one opened up at 31st and somethingorother, which is much closer, but the food would still be cold by the time I got home.

So Art of Pizza is decent? They're forever and always advertising at my place, but if I hold out someone at work will eventually order Beggar's for their team and have leftovers, so I haven't purchased pizza in months. I need to branch out from "places I've tried before" and "free" as my only two sources.
Eh, they’re okay -- tastier than just “edible”, but nothing to write home about. I’ve only had the pan, and I’ve never ordered a full pie fresh, so maybe it’s better when it’s not a heatlamp slice. The one I go to just opened in the loop and everyone is SUPER STOKED because apparently Art of Pizza is a Big Fucking Deal in some areas, but I’m not sure why.

My boyfriend needs a super low sodium diet, so I've been making pizza at home more lately. It's not difficult and you could make some that is better.
I don’t care for homemade pizza -- if you use skim mozzarella then the cheese is fine, but the sauce always tastes weird to me, and usually the crust is pretty foul too, unless you make a proper yeast crust, which is a pain in the ass. Obvs. if you have special dietary needs it’s the way to go, but I’ll usually just buy a frozen one, it’s less work and marginally more edible.
