What's your favourite?
I'm a big Pizza Express fan - they are in Britain and some other countries (not America. They are over 40 years old. I like that they often choose interesting buildings (old banks, gents clubs, medieval hall) and don't ahve them all decorated the same, as say Zizzi (which are now part of the same group. The founder of PE, Peter Boizot, likes to think of them as 'a string of pearls' rather than a chain - a lovely idea. Though I am disappointed that they are going into out of town retail complexes now, whereas they started as being very much on interesting streets in city centres.
The service is usually excellent and they remain my favourite pizzas, and yet affordable. My one gripe is that the name sounds like a fast food joint when they are actually quote classy.
What's your favourite and why? Describe the food and the place.

As far as best TASTING pizza goes - I would say Pizza Hut is my favorite. If we were going for VALUE, then I would say Little Cesears. There really are so many great pizza places out there. Pizza Hut is my favorite because their crusts always taste so good. Plus, I love their stuffed crust pizza and buffalo chicken pizza which are two that are somewhat unique. Meaning not every pizza joint out there has them. [Jennlk84]
Dominoz serves the best pizza. I like the test of Dominoz. Specially cheez and tomato pizza. I join my friends on sundays and we enjoy pizza party ion dominoz. [rocky_rockbottom]
I think Domino's pizza is the best take away pizza I can find in the UK. Domino's pizza makes the base and the topping tastes together. I wrote an article about domino's pizza called a pizza for entire world. People read my article and said to me Domino's is their favorite too. [sblossom]
for me i like yellow cab, they served very delicious pizza ever. [ranjetjoy]
I dont really think I have a favorite. I like pizza and I like all the pizza I eat from different stores. I have eaten in many different pizza place like pizza hut, shakeys, little ceasars, yellow cab and greenwich, lots a pizza, don enricos pizza. And all the pizzas I ate there was really good and delicious depends on the toppings. But I make sure I like the toppings of the pizza I bought so I would really enjoy it. [angelbelle578]
I go for pizza hut,brooklyn pizza,yellow cab for now... [bluescat]
It is amazing to me how many chains of restaurants exist. I have never heard of either of the 2 that you mentioned! (But I do live in America.) My all time favorite pizza chain is Arni's. They are a local chain in Indiana. They are a little bit more expensive than some of the other restaurants in the area, but they are worth it! I love that the toppings go all the way to the edge of the pizza. There is never any crusts of the pizza left on the plate - because they dont exist! I love that they load the pizzas up with toppings. My favorite is sausage and pepperoni. They put the sauce and the cheese on. Then they put on the sausage and pepperoni. You cant even see the cheese because of all of the toppings on it! One of the other things that really impresses me about the chain is how involved in the community they are. They are always trying to help out local charities. They believe very strongly in being part of the community. You dont often see that with chains anymore, and I think it is important. I am getting so hungry just thinking about. Too bad I dont know when I will be in Indiana next to get some! [derlilaStern]
I love pizza.doesn't really matter to me in what joint it is.as long as the pizza tastes good,then I'll eat at that pizza joint.what I prefer is the thickness of the crust.I love thick crust pizza,with lots of cheese. [my_name_is_coco]
I like Pizza Hut too but I would like to taste other pizza outlets, but I can do that only when I travel because we don't have a lot of pizza chains here. I actually prefer the traditional pizza cooked with wood :) I love that taste and the way the crust is baked :) [cbhomework]
In my place, only Pizza hut is available. Its pizzas are good. And some of the restuarant provide different pizzas are also excellent, but they are not chain. [HelloMickey]
Debonair is my favorite pizza and i always order from there.They deliver quality pizzas and quality service. Their pizza is so tasty and crunchy. I personally like sweet and sour pizza with double mozzarella on it. Well, up to now, i have never had complaints about debonair pizza. The pizza they deliver are always hot. I never go to debonair to eat pizza, i always pass orders on the phone because i find it more convenient to eat at home. [moujha]
Shotgun Dan's is a great pizza place/chain in the south of the USA, and one of my favorites!! [Ozarkgirl]
Wow... as I read this post, my mouth is waterry thinking of those hot hot posts. I love Dominoz a lots. I used to enjoy Pizza hut as well. Those buffets which offers unlimited Pizzas drive me crazy... i enjoyed Pizza hut a lots in UK. While i did not feel that same quality in India. Dominoz is good everywhere. [PinkyPosh]
I like Little Ceasars it is cheap and good. We have a large family and it is too expensive to eat pizza elsewhere. [roxannekight]
There are so many of them in India now like Pizza Hut, Dominoes, Smokin Joe, U.S. Pizza and many others. I tried many of them but still always come back to Pizza hut and Dominoes. Their Pizzas as well as service is good and so is the ambience. Smokin Joe is quite cost effective and their pizzas are quite good. [anuraa32]
I would have to say Papa Johns is my favorite because I think it has the best ingredients. The sauce is awesome and the crust is soft and goes perfect with a dipping sauce. Second would have to Pizza Hut, they have awesome pizza's and the sauce is pretty good. [juanypablo]
well im not really in to pizza but my faourite pizza chain has to be pizza hut the first time i had eat some time from them in a theme park and i was hungrey and had only pizza hut left so chose the small 4 slice pizza with cheese and tomata and i found it very nice and had coke with lol but i perfer chips and chicken more then pizza im not really the pizza type [shahzadh]
I love italian cuisine and pizza is one of my much loved italian dishes.. actually, i have got plenty of favorites such as pizza hut, shakeys, yellow cab, greenwich(local), don henrico's and chef de angelo.. my top favorite would be shakeys.. i like the manager's choice thin crust pizza, very tasty and crunchy.. next would be Yellow Cab's New York finest pizza, very appetizing! i used to visit my favorite pizza restaurant chains often before but when i have got diabetes, i am not allowed to feast on fast foods like pizza anymore..thumbdown [gracie04]
for me, i love yellow cab. their pizzas are great, and your mouth gets watery when you smell their pizzas. you can really taste the spices of each pizza flavor. [donnakristel]
I've never eaten pizza I didn't like, so normally I'm not too picky. I'm most fond of Pizza Hut, though I think they may have changed their crust recipe? If so, their pizza used to be the best at least. For a pizza place I find the atmosphere rather cozy. I like to take advantage of the lunch buffet they offer on weekdays. [eponiine]
The best pizza chain I have eaten at is a toss up between Pizza Hut and The Mellow Mushroom... Both are all over The U.S. and The Mellow Mushroom has amazing everything, from beer to super meaty foods and even super vegan foods. I use to love getting a temphe stromb there. I've even ordered a giant bowl of sliced mushrooms before. Such awesome pizza. [bunnyhoover]
I've tried so many different pizzas in my life time and I have to say that truly the best pizza is made in the country it came from, Italy. Italian style pizza is not easily found. Here in the United States, I have found that the one which is closest to the original is Sbarro. They make the slices very big, thin and thick crusted. It is very soft in the crust area and succulent. I don't think I've had better pizza than this. [libby2009]
reading all the comments here made me drool for pizza ! :D The best pizza restaurant for me would be ( hard to decide they're all yummy!) Yellowcab or Shakeys. :) Shakeys since it's memorable for me and the pizza's are great! Yellowcab.. I drool over their meaty lovers pizza. Just the way I want my pizza to be, they have it. :) [chiepao]
i have to say i like pizza hut.First of all,i announce that the pizza hut in our country(china) is so different from others,such as the envionment,the location,and especially ,the building which is decorated as "a five-star hotel",it is said that everyone from Western Country come our country will visit to,it's a view now.It is the culture cause this matter,i think. [iblueman]
well its good to hear that. But in my country there are many pizza shop. But the most prominent one and well known is pizza hut. The other pizza is like mushrooms, they are in town for a while and then dissapear. Right now the closes one giving pizza hut a run for their money is yellow cab pizza. But in the end, pizza hut still taste the best and the prize is affordable compared to yellow pizza. My friend ate at yellow pizza and she said it taste not to good. Too sour due to the cheese used. Never tried it so really dont know much about it. [schoenmaker143]
