How does Pizza Hut compare with Domino's? edited

[elleng]

NEITHER compares well with Mystic Pizza, I guess.

EDIT:

THANKS, all!

Learned today son in law prefers Pizza Hut, and as Thursday is his birthday, I'll send one over (for BEFORE an ice cream cake from Dunkin, which conveniently is next door!)

1. Ledo pizza for me!! 🍕🍕🍕🙂

[elleng]

10. Really? May try it (again, some time, as it's nearby.)

I like their red sauce, and occasionally have it with broccoli on pasta.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

14. Yes! I always ask for EXTRA sauce on the pizza for that reason... makes it even better!🙂

2. Lisa's Pizza in Rodanthe, NC

Is my family’s favorite pizza spot!

3. I really like Pizza Hut Veggie Lovers Pan Pizza.

Thick crust but crunchy.

11. Sounds interesting. Do want more veggies,

I like crunchy, and it's next door to Dunkin!

4. Comparing Domino's to Pizza Hut is like comparing "Curly" Joe Palma to "Curly Joe" DeRita ...

... there is only one Curly Howard - my homemade, from scratch with a Neapolitan crust pizza. Using King Arthur's "0-0" pizza flour.

Nuk, nuk, nuk, now thatsa some fine pizza I got there.

5. They both suck.

Go to your local pizza shop if possible.

6. Domino's is way better IMO, but neither is pizza.

As a pizza-addicted culinary professional – the mistake people make is thinking of either of them as actual pizza. They're pizza-adjacent fast food, in the same way Taco Bell (also LOVE LOVE LOVE) is Tex-Mex adjacent fast food; just appreciate them for what they are rather than what they're aping.

As for pizza, the OG Sally's Apizza in New Haven would probably be my pick, but you'd have to have a gun to my head to get me to choose just one. Pizza is my dead serious answer to the "one food for the rest of your life" question.

7. Out of the two I would say Pizza Hut. We had a thin crust

Domino's pizza awhile back and it sucked. I never had a pizza as thin as paper until I had Domino's. Some Pizza Huts offer a lunch buffet and they're pretty good. They bring out all sorts of pizzas, along with bread sticks, salads etc etc. Pretty good deal.

8. They use diff brands of cardboard

Depends on which brand you can tolerate.

12. Plus there are small differences in every joint

Mostly, take out from non chain restaurants is better, hands down.

However, I've had bad pizza in places that had guys visible in a window, tossing the dough up in the air. I've had decent pizza from cruddy storefronts with cracked linoleum on the floor and a rubbishy recycled counter in need of new Formica.

Generally speaking, I like Greek pizza better for the flavors in the sauce. One place I went to more than once (a rarity) used to sprinkle a little dried basil onto the cheese before baking. The added flavor in the cheese did a lot for the pizza.

Chain store pizza comes into its own when eaten cold. When it was crazy busy at work, we'd order it because it was edible cold when we'd have to step into the break room for a bite of it every few minutes, eating most of it cold. It was tolerable and we knew we weren't missing much by not eating it hot.

9. I prefer to make my own pizza.

13. Nothing better than homemade pizza 🍕.

15. We like Papa Murphy's

You bake it yourself so you can tweak it and add anchovies or extra pepperoni without getting charged restaurant prices.

The Thai Chicken is yummy.

16. The best pizza I've had

came from a hole-in-the-wall shop in or near a mall in a town west of Phoenix whose name I can't remember, so I'll never be able to find it again. Usually, local pizza places tend to have better pies than any chains - except for a brewpub in Vicksburg, MS whose pizza was just mediocre: good beer and vegetables, though.
