Maybe I'm not as amazingly cultured as some, but where would one get "good" pizza, if Domino's and Sbarro are deemed unworthy of consumption? As a side note, where do you think Papa John's stands? I think it's overrated.

I believe I have had "good" pizza, as it cost a lot more and was much better. Had some really good stuff at this microbrewery near where I live.

My favorite pizza parlor is Round Table. Their Smokehouse Combos and the Maui Zaui are ab fab!

As for Domino's pizza in general, well, it's mediocre pizza with amazing market penetration. Kinda like WalMart.

Shhhh....they may get an idea of opening Donimos in WalMarts.

Oreo cookies are working models of something which is more than a sum of its parts:

2 wafers that are nasty by themselves
1 layer of white sugar goo which is nasty by itself

Combined into a consumer good which is okay.

But then you add:

1 glass of milk for dunking

and the taste has risen to new heights! If you could unravel the "mystery" of how this cookie works, perhaps problems of metaphysics, quantum mechanics, world peace, and yes- even race relations, could be solved. A wise man once said "Look to the cookie Elaine, look to the cookie!" If only he had been looking at an Oreo…

The milk is critical,  but you have to make homemade double-stuffs to really get the full effect.

Papa John's salts their pizzas to hide the fact that their pizzas taste like wet card board.

Virtually any Mom and Pop joint that makes their own dough and makes you a pie is light years better than anything you'll get from a chain. Its that simple, amazing culture not required.

BUT I will say this: the absolute best pie I have ever had was in NYC at a place called Una Pizza. It is pizza perfection.

Can I just pop in to mention that the commercial for this "pizza" is just smurfing stupid?

Give it time, son.

Give it time.

I like dominos' thin crust pizza.  It's no Imo's (St. Louis people know) but it's not bad.

I like Abby's Pizza Mushroom Garlic Chicken a whole lot. Too bad they are only in Northern California and Oregon.

As far as chains, I'll agree with Papa Murphy's.

Though I wish you guys knew the joys of Rocco's Pizza or Mississipi Pizza back home.

Another Papa Murphy vote.

Around here we have House of Pizza, an locally-owned place that started in 1964.  It's kind of spendy, but I could eat a whole one by myself (I wouldn't, but I could).

Best pizza?  The ones I make myself!  Although I still haven't found the "perfect" crust.

NO!

That being said, the only time I order Dominos is when its' very late, I'm drunk, very hungry, and the good local pizza place is well closed. In these situations Dominos actually tastes acceptable.

That being said, I did this recently (passed on the Oreo desert even though they tried hard to sell it). A veggie pizza was $16.00 which is expensive, especially considering that Dominos is (was) supposed to be cheap and should be cheap considering their pizza is sub-par to say the least. It does taste good drunk though.

The mark of any really good pizza is when it still tastes good cold the next day. Dominos NEVER does.
