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.
